The Summer Leagues 

Green Monster, Johnny Longstand, Big Load, The Libertines and Where Is My mind? - who will be next to join this illustrious list of summer champions?

The Summer Leagues run from the end of July until the end of September each year and are the chance for regular teams to have a go at hosting a quiz for themselves. In this period, there are generally ten quiz-nights, which the quizmaster takes off (but often plays).
If you are interested in hosting your own quiz, then send me using the link below. You'd best be quick, as the places go quickly!

Rule Changes

The summer quiz works a bit differently to the regular quiz as people go away on holiday or on home during the summer months.
What we do is have a short league running through the end of July, August and September after the playoffs for the regular season have finished. Each quiz is hosted by a different team from the regular season. The Summer Leagues are decided by points average over a minimum of five quizzes, rather than by points total - and all quizzes played by a team are included (not the best five). The Green Monster won with an average of 39.67 in 2008, while Big Load needed 39.33 in 2009 - in 2010 The Libertines and Green Monster actually tied on 36.3 each and a tie-breaker was necessary!!

The main rule changes are listed below:


  • Quiz hosting teams can play that night, but not for money, nor for points.
  • There is no Accumulator during the Summer Leagues.
  • Overall winners are determined by point average over a minimum of five quizzes.
  • Music rounds may come at any time, not just the end of the month.
  • Pot is divided between the top 3 teams: 50% / 30% / 20% (no Accumulator)
  • As always, the quizmaster's decision is final (whoever that is).

Any modifications to the rules will be posted here.
