"What Katie Did" Quiz
No, not a quiz about the classic by Susan Coolidge. "Katie" Tunstall has had a phenominal season, even by his own high standards. So how how about a quiz on Katie's achievements during 2006 - this is after all a bar billiards forum ! And it will give a chance for a bit of name-dropping, so others can gain their own share of the glory.....
1. In February, Katie captained England to a 24-9 win over Jersey. Katie took all three games off his opposite number. Name him.
2. Katie drew a blank in 'his own' Oxfordshire Open. Who beat him in the 4th Round? And who beat who in the Final ? Name the winner of the Plate competition.
3. In March, Katie won Bournemouth (the National Open Pairs) with Tony Martin: Which Pair did they overcome 3-1 in the final ? And who beat whom in the final of the Plate ?
4. Katie was runner-up in the Mermaid Open at Portsmouth. Who beat him in the final, restricting him to a score of less than 1000 ? And who won the Plate competition and who was runner-up?
5. In May, Katie skippered England to a 33-19 win over sunny Guernsey, and - with able assistance from Milko - won four out of their five Pairs frames. But who took all three points off Katie at Singles ?
6. In the Sussex Open in June, Katie was a casualty in the Quarter-Finals against an Oxon team-mate: Who ? And who beat whom in the finals of the main competition, and of the Plate ?
7. Surprisingly, Katie had to wait until July for his first Open Title of the year - which came in the form of the Kent Classic. Both Semi-Finals were close-run affairs: Katie won by 21610-20720 but against whom ? And who beat whom by 16310-13450 in the other Semi,before losing the Final to Katie by 14210-19550 ? And who beat whom in the Plate Final ?
8. There was not long to wait for Katie's second Open title of the year as he added the Buckinghamshire Open. Whom did he beat in the Semi-final and Final? And who beat whom in the Plate Final ?
9. Katie made it three on the bounce when he added the Berkshire Open title to the Kent and the Bucks. a) who did he beat in the final?; b) name the losing semifinalists; c) who beat whom in the Plate final ?
10. In his final season as an Oxfordshire player, Katie captained his county to success as they regained the title prized from their grasp last year by Sussex. Oxon won all four matches they played, but Katie only managed three out of four. Name the player who beat him.
11. In October, Katie added the prestigious All-England Singles to his collection for the year. But someone beat him in the preliminary group matches - and nearly qualified for the final in his place ! Who was this? And who denied that player his chance for the Final by thrashing him in the last group match - much to Katies's relief ? Who won the other Group on a count-up after a three-way tie on points, only to lose to Katie in the final ? And who were the other two elimated on the tie-breaker ?
12. The National Team competitions went Oxfordshire's way as well, but it wasn't Katie's team who won it: a) what team did Katie represent ? b)who beat them in the County Semi-Final
qualifier - and c) Which other team then beat them in the Oxfordshire final and went on to win the National Team title ? d) name the runners-up and the county they come from.
13. THE BIGGIE: THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.....It is no secret that Katie beat 3-times-champ Jim Millward to become a three-times champ himself. Who were the Losing Semi-Finalists ? And -name the country only - who won the World Championship Pairs, and who were Runners-up ?
14. Later in the same month - November - Katie proved that his recent marriage had done no harm to his form as with his new wife Hayley they made it all the way to the National Mixed Pairs final - a relatively recent addition to the bar billiards calendar. Since its inauguration in 1997 Katie had won the event three times - once with Denise Wills of Surrey, and twice with Su Galleymore of Sussex. This time Kevin and Hayley were beaten-finalists, but who beat them ?
15. If becoming the World Champion was the icing on the cake, the candles were added in the form of Katie ending the year by winning the Grand Prix. Whom did he vanquish in the final ?
One point per correct answer, but please keep to the point with your answers. This is a good opportunity for those in the know to answer off the tops of their heads - don't be surprised if we get an entry too from a "mystery guest" - or even from Katie himself !
