“Life After BBQ” Quiz

“Life After BBQ” Quiz

Here’s a thing – a quiz actually about Bar Billiards !!!
We grew to be rather dependent on that fat envelope that used to drop through our letterboxes four times a year, which contained so much of our game’s history……and the accompanying commentary which somehow brought it all to life.
Okay, the editorials went over the top sometimes, but hopefully that’s now all water under the bridge.

So, though I for one lament its passing, the information has been perpetuated by others - not only on the AEBBA website, but also on this great Forum.……………

Points a plenty to be won here if you can name a) the Winner and b) the Runner-up in each of the following events which took place in 2007. 1pt for each and bonus points available for adding the final score if it was a Team event.

No Clive, you do the scoring....

reasons:

(1) I rarely stay to the end of any competition now so I take very little interest in who wins, which is the great benefit of not compiling the much-lamented BBQ anymore.

(2) I very rarely peep in to the AE website to SEE who won for same reasons

(3) you do it so much better than I do

No, I won't be entering this quiz. I will wait for something more interesting! I am happy to stay in 5th place!

P.S. psst, don't mention the "water under the bridge" thing!!!!

Wolfman has given five correct winners and five correct runners-up. (Bonus points only apply for final scores if it's a team event)

Sir KT wisely chooses team events for his five, with opportunity for bonus points. ;)
All correct, of course as one might expect from the England Captain ;D
3pts each for 1),2),13) and 14);
2pts + 1.5pts for 8).

Leaderboard:
1 Sir KT 15.5pts

15.Sussex B 28pts, Berks B 19.5 pts

Wolfman's second helpings produce a further 10pts.
Have to mark you down half a point each on 5) and 11) as it's Ray Sturgess (incredibly brave man in our thoughts) and Phil (not Paul) Collins. But 15) earned an extra bonus for correct scores.

Leaderboard:
1 Wolfman 20pts
2 Sir KT 15.5pts

, what's happened here?



Modif: Ok, I now see that it has been moved from the quiz room, but not the significance of it. I am sure Clive has his reasons!

Is it just for the purposes of reminding everyone of last year's winners? Perhaps you should do the BBQ yourself, mate.

Yes it is exactly for that purpose, for recording the names of winners of each major event in a particular year for posterity.

Same again in a year's time ! ;)
