It is interesting to see how big an influence the quizmaster has on who is participating in the quiz. In Season 107 Dorian Willems was the quizmaster and the quiz was all of a sudden populated by 11 active Belgian quizzers. In Season 103 Evie Levens was the quizmaster and we had 7 active quizzers from Down Under. This season Hasini Minuvanpitiya is the quizmaster and we have a whopping 17 active Lankans playing. The usual Quizzypedia season usually has an overwhelming majority of Danish and English players, but it seems like the demographic landscape of Quizzypedia is changing.
So here is the challenge. Which country will come out on top with the most points. Do invite your countrymen and get help your country win the Clash of Countries. And before you get any ideas… dirty tackles on quizzers from other countries will not be tolerated
Game on!
Participating quizzers/points: Sri Lanka 17 - 20 Denmark 12 - 17 England 8 -10 Belgium 4 - 4 Sweden 1 -2 Norway 2 - 2 Australia 1 - 2 Bulgaria 1 - 1 Germany 1 -1 India 1 - 1 Serbia 1 - 1 Scotland 1 - 1
Final Update!
It is time for the last update during the season and honestly the fight for the first nations cup couldn't be more intense. Two days ago Denmark seemed to have taken a solid lead and it didn't look like Sri Lanka would be able to rally the troops am make a comeback. Well, that turned out to be completely wrong. Just two days before the season is over Team Lanka and Team Denmark are completely even with 136 points each. The fight for the following places is less intense, and it seems unlikely that any changes will be made in places three - six, unless one of those countries manage to pull in several new players and make…
Update Day 10
As predicted, we have a new team in front. With an impressive score of 23 points on two days with questions that proved to be rather difficult, Denmark is now 9 points clear of Team Sri Lanka.
England is still gaining on the Lankans, but only one point, so at this pace it would take another 57 days before they would reach the second spot. A lot can happen in the last four days though, because the English are usually strong finishers and might gain a lot of ground up til the very end.
Just below the top 3 it looks like Team Australia are working hard to secure their fouth place. Team Belgium seem even more…
Clash of Countries - Update Day 8
The short version - Team Sri Lanka is still ahead. The slightly longer version, Team Denmark is only one point behind and if the current trend continues, Denmark will be in front at the end of Day 10. The long version however, is that if Team England continue to gain 7 points on Team Denmark every day, then by the end of Day 13 Team England will be at the top of the scoreboard. On the other hand, if Team Sri Lanka manage to reengage their "fallen" team mates, then they can make up for the lost momentum and put some distance between themselves and Team Denmark (and England) again.
Team Australia seem…
Update Day 7 It has been three days since the latest update, and at a glance it doesn't appear as if much has changed. The six top teams have not changed places. However, a closer look at the scores will reveal that while Sri Lanka's 32 players managed to score 23 points, England's 12 players scored 28 points and Denmark's 19 players managed to get 42 points - almost 20 points more than the Lankans. This means, that unless Team Sri Lanka manages to rally the troops again, Team Denmark will almost certainly claim the top spot tomorrow. So to the Lankans out there who wants to win the first ever Clash of Countries - do giver your fellow countrymen a…
Update Day 4
Team Sri Lanka now has thirtyone active players and managed to add thirteen points to their total score. Denmark is still in second place (now with nineteen active players) and they managed to score an additional eleven points. England is still in third place with seven new points. The high jumper of the day is Team Serbia. They went from one to three players and added six extra points to their score (only one short of Englands seven extra points. There are only six points seperating Team Australia in fourth place from Team India in sixth place. Team Belgium is in between the two, just three points after Team Australia. And as a curiosity Jonas v…
