Doing the semi-final, in my view, is fairer because all who want to win will take part. It also gives everyone an equal chance. It isn't any extra work because the tie-break questions are already devised, so doing a bit of additional scoring for a few minutes on a Thursday evening won't inconvenience me too much.
I will have a think and let you know by the end of the week. I am genuinely trying to make the end result as fair as possible and I wanted to avoid 9 people scrambvling around on a Sunday morning trying to post the quickest as it's a cruel way inwhich to lose. I also felt names being drawn from a hat is also slightly unfair as players who stuck with the Quiz throughout and scored top marks should have an equal chance to try and be the new champion on merit and not on the luck of the draw.
Please, though, keep your suggestions coming.”
