Accumulator total:
€338
Another Accumulator win - the second in
two months!! Well done Where Is My Mind? who took the maximum all for themselves on January 10th. Interestingly,
that's exactly one year to the day nearly since they had their only other solo Blockbuster win...
Previously, Lumberjacks took home €500 on 6th December 2011 and finally the Accumulator
was won for the first time in six months. So, it could take a little while now for the Accumulator to build back up - or will
someone take it down to zero for the first time in YEARS?
For those that don't know, you win the Accumulator by answering all ten questions on the Blockbuster
Round correctly. What you win, is the amount above (shared out evenly, if more than one team wins).
The most recent win? Green
Monster and Where Is My Mind? shared the Accumulator between then as they both hit the jackpot on
7th June 2011.
From rags to riches...
The Accumulator
is the other way to win something at the Quiz. The total could be anywhere between about €20 and €500, depending
on how recently it was last won.
It is a rare and celebrated event when a team wins - often
the highlight of a quiz career. Of course, winning rounds are available in the old quiz section. Could you have been a winner?
And how
to win it? Simple - all you have to do is answer all ten questions in the round correctly. And you get help - you
are given the first letter or letters of each of the word or words in the answer. But be careful - one wrong answer and you
loose all of your points in the Blockbuster Round (whether you try for the money or not).
The
Way of the Accumulator
- 25% of the next quiz pot
will be added to the total above
- €500 is the maximum win for one evening
- If more than one team wins, the Accumulator is split between them (maximum €500 total) The Accumulator
is capped when it reaches €500 and a second (baby) Accumulator will be started
- Any use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited (and punishable by grizzly
public execution, or the closest legal equivalent)
- If not won on the night, the Accumulator rolls over to the next week (and then the next and the next etc.)
- The Accumulator is put on hold during the
summer months, when 20 points are played for instead of money
- Quizmaster rulings are (of course) final!
