Mrs TheBoy is compiling a Christmas quiz for early tomorrow (Christmas Eve) evening, probably between 6 - 7pm ish
Get your teams together now, and get team captains to PM me.
I have not seen the Q's, but she says they are mostly fairly easy questions, and are suitable for all the family. So if the kids are excitable about the big day, get them (and any OOF widows) to join in - this will help pass some time.
Get the family together and form a team!
Or join up with other members to form a team.
If you have never taken part in our quizes, I urge to to take part in this one - this may be the last ever OOF quiz if we can't get many teams taking part :(
Don't worry if you think general knowledge quizzes are too hard - she assures me this one is quite easy, and suitable for all the family. The theme is 'Christmas'

If theres a question about who is the fat man who wears a red outfit and has a long white beard and eats yer mince pies and drinks yer outa booze..........i know that answer ;D ;)
-
Ill join in but i think ill be on the back of an AA lowloader after try to drive back to the north lol ;D ;D

:)Quick run to Melton Mowbray a.m. tea & biccies with a lovely old lady pm. (my soft side so don't take the p***) but will be home in time. Count me in Jamie. ::)

If I remember rightly, the consensus last time was that the quiz should start at about 9.00 to let those with kids get them off to bed. And, others to get other duties complete and then settle down to the quiz later on.
Just a thought. :)

Idea of running earlier is to allow kids to join in - the Christmas theme should make it suitable. Plus your chances of getting most children in bed by 9pm on Christmas Eve.....

mince pies...... :question........has miggy got a beard........ ;D ;D

Sounds good count me in.

Those people who have PM'd me should receive a PM from me before the quiz starts (planned for 6:30) with a username and password to log on to be able to submit answers.
I haven't seen the questions, so hopefully I can join in with this one, but she tells me there are 40 'quick fire' easy-ish questions, and the planned 75s per question 'may be too long'. Range of questions apparently, so may be useful to have OOF widows and kids helping (that was hre brief - to make it family fun).
-
Right i am up for it and our girls :y
Brilliant idea Mr and Mrs the Boy :)

Have you checked your PM's yet?? I've also sent an email to your forum email address. :question :y
-
So how does it work?
The captain logs on to http://quiz.omegaowners.com/captain.asp
Additional participants log in to http://quiz.omegaowners.com if required (ie, cant see captains screen)
The questions automatically are displayed, the captain enters the answer where prompted, then wait until the next question is ready to be asked. It will all be very apparent once we get the questions loaded, and the quiz starts :y
The system, once the questions are loaded, is completely automated, and cannot be stopped.
The first two question will have 2 mins to answer, for reasons that will, apparently, become obvious, others 1 min. There will be a 10s gap between questions for the system to prepare for next.
So Q1 will start at 6:30:00
Q2 will start at 6:32:10
Q3 6:34:20
Q4 6:35:30
Q5 6:36:40
Q6 6:37:50
Q7 6:39:00
etc

Don't need big teams for this quiz, in fact she is concerned that it will be too easy ;)
