What If You're on Holiday and Worried You'll Miss a Week?
This year, because I recognise some posters are going on holiday but still want to take part, I am giving you the opportunity to answer the questions for the week you are away in advance.
If you can PM me before
Sunday August 7th the week that you will be away between Sunday August 21st and Sunday October 9th, I will post, via PM the Questions for that particular week to you on
Sunday August 14th and you will have until midnight on
Saturday August 20th to get your answers to me in the usual way, via PM. I will reveal your score along with everybody else's in the relevant week of the Quiz and I will inform you when that will be in your personal message. This makes it fair. Please keep the questions to yourself so as not to spoil it for anybody else.
If you are away for two weeks, I can only supply questions in advance just for one week, so it's up to you to decide which week you would like questions for.
So, to help you work out how many points you can earn, here's the dates of the quiz and the amount of points available:
August 21st: 10 points
August 28th: 10 points
September 4th: 10 points
September 11th: 10 Points
September 18th: 16 points
September 25th: 10 points
October 2nd: 10 points
October 9th: 10 points
I can not accept requests for advance week participation after August 7th, so if you want to take part it is important you let me know when you'll be away by midnight of that date.
Sneak Peek at Two Quiz Questions
Next week, the 7th August, I will post 1 question as a teaser from any of the 8 weeks of questions. Please don't answer it either by PM or publicly. The following week (14th August), a second question will be posted. Then the Quiz starts the following week! The 2 teaser questions will appear as a taster to the types of questions you will be asked this year, and unlike last year, there will be no repeated questions from previous years, no themed weeks and no anagrams.
So, don't forget to PM me you holiday dates if you want to take part whilst you're away, and in the meantime, the Quiz countdown starts right here! But, don't miss the first teaser question next Sunday, 7th August!
