Season 108 was the very first season of Clash of Countries – a league within the league where the points of each nations’ quizzers are pooled together to see which national team will come out on top at the end. Several updates of the scoreboard were made during the season, but at the very last update on Day 12 Team Denmark and Team Sri Lanka were completely tied with 136 points each. A little further down the table, 2 two player teams Norway and Serbia surprisingly received unexpected competition from Sweden, when @Christopher Ohlin suddenly joined Team Sweeden. The final two days were also needed to see which of the two one player teams Germany and Scotland would come out on top. Before the final scoreboard is revealed, a shoutout should go to Team England. Their 13 players had an astounding 9.8 average – the highest of the season. At the end of the season, the final score looks as follows:
Team No. of Quizzers Total points Average
Sri Lanka 32 151 4.7
Denmark 19 146 7.7
England 13 127 9.8
Australia 7 61 8.7
Belgium 6 49 8.2
India 5 24 4.8
Serbia 2 15
Norway 2 14
Sweden 2 13
Germany 1 11
Scotland 1 11
Italy 1 5
Bulgaria 2 5
That means that Team Denmark couldn’t stand the distance at the very end and the champion of The first ever Clash of Countries is Team Sri Lanka. Please give them a big round of applause.
