Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 4 December 2022

From no beer to anything with a rainbow being banned, there has been a lot of criticism of the World Cup.

But we think you can do more.

For your team name this week, we want you to find a way to make the World Cup worse.

Stage it in North Korea

All games are played underwater

No players over 8 years old

Each team gets one sniper that gets to hide somewhere in the stadium

Every time a player takes an obvious dive, their team gets a goal

There aren’t enough players. Literally every citizen of every country is crammed onto the pitch.

Find some way to make the World Cup worse for an easy bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

A player who chose a fairly obscure last place subject got neither of the two on it questions correct. This is your opportunity people! You need to capitalise when it’s there.

When asked for countries beginning with A with a long life expectancy, one team said Australia… twice.

Who is this being hoisted on his teammates shoulders after winning the 1966 World Cup?

Ron Weasley.

The role of Niles on Frasier was played by Cuba Gooding Jr.

And the first word a lot of team came up with when asked for common four letter words beginning with HE was “hell”. Which might tell you something about our players.

See you next week.

A quick note to everyone. Saying “I was gonna say that” is not the same as saying something.

Asking about countries that begin with M & end with O led one team to make up countries like Mogo & Madagascaro.

When we ask about the Nepalese name for Mount Everest, it helps to be on good terms with the Nepalese bartender.

We played “Shake your booty”. One team who was struggling came up with “Shake your butty”. Meh, close enough.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team of players from India cursed themselves for not getting Bangladesh as a country that is spelled with the letter G.

One new team learned why you don’t yell out the answer to a bonus question, when they yelled out Neil Patrick Harris, but didn’t write it down, and the team next to them did.

When asked about religious populations, one team guessed that there were 3 billion Jews in the world. In other news, apparently Kanye West was at one of our quizzes.

And one team who ALWAYS gambles 5 on the gambler’s question forgot to wager 5. They got the question wrong & should have lost, but their screw up wound up working for them as they won by 3.

See you next week.

Who coached the New England Patriots? Emperor Palpatine.

We asked about coastal countries in Europe, and had to talk one team out of saying Switzerland and Austria.

One a bonus question while looking for a US state, we gave hints that it was a northern state, that borders Canada, and begins with the letter M. We still went through several guesses, including some states that were guessed at three times, before we finally gave the hint that it started with M and ended with innesota.

See you next week.
