Guys, I'd like to suggest a change to the scoring system. As it currently works, the table that Clagmonster produces considers every round of this quiz. This means that, in the most recent one of these tables, posted on 02/09/12, included below, there is a 1900 point gap between first place and second place, a 2300 point gap between second place and third and fourth (which, unusually, were tied in this table). This means that for any newcomers, they start at the bottom of the table, and are very unlikely to be able to reach any of the top 3 positions. I would therefore suggest having it as either a fortnightly or a monthly league.

Suggestion taken. I believe adtrainz still has the final say on this quiz...

I will look into this and there will be PMs going around for consultation before I take it to Adtrainz and the quizmasters. In the meantime, if anybody has any thoughts on the matter, please could you PM me.
