THE TRIVIA LEAGUE
=================
The trivia league has got off to a good start with twelve teams taking
part. With only two games under our belts the league is still wide open
with LITTLE WOLF looking the hungriest for points. Some teams have not
returned any answers which does waste the game for those who do try. If
they do not indicate positively that they still wish to remain in the
league their places will be filled with standby teams.

The answers to the first two rounds can be found at the end of this
article. If anyone wishes to play 'stand-by' positions then drop me a
line. What will happen is that I will send you a set of questions as if
you were playing in the league and your answers will be used for any team
who does not submit theirs on time. I the miss two turns then the stand-
by team can take their palce in the game.
~~~OOOO~~~
A quick summary of the rules:
----------------------------
Each team plays every other team at 'home' and 'away'.
They are sent 10 questions to answer and return within about 12 days.
The number correct is their score.
3 points are awarded for a win, 2 for a 'home' draw, 1 for an away 'draw'
and 0 for a loss.
~~~OOOO~~~
A stamped, self-addressed envelope with your replies is needed and we will
try and arrange a suitable prize for the winning team.
My address is:-Michael McLaughlin
