Re: Learned League
I've seen references to LL here and on the J! board, but I don't know exactly what it is.

Re: Learned League
Oh my word. You're perfect for it!

There are varying "rundles", groups within league divisions. Like J!, no googling etc, one game per day of 6 questions, per season that lasts a month or so. Defense is key since you assign points to each question, according to opponents' strengths.
I think rookie rundle is free then you buy membership. Read link.
Lemme know

Re: Learned League
I appreciate the referral and have enjoyed it immensely. The current mini-leagues are super hard.

Re: Learned League
As I understand it (never having played), there's one other very important thing to know. Don't forfeit. Make sure you play all of your games. Forfeiting has league-wide deleterious effects and they take it very seriously. --BobBeebs52 wrote: βThu Jan 13, 2022 11:36 amOh my word. You're perfect for it!

I'm back down in E. Last time ended in the top 4ish and back to D. This session had tons of ties, but, duh, not enuf wins. It was sad. Lotsa second guessing and oh no clue...

How'd you do on the one day about Vegas entertainers?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I haven't done any in awhile. My brain apparently has large gaps of cultural literacy.

Too much going on. Not sufficiently confident I can honor the "don't forfeit" rule. --Bob

Re: Learned League
You can get questions earlier with schedule probs I think. Just something to consider.

Re: Learned League
Perhaps, but it's an activity that's supposed to be fun, and stressing over whether I can fit it into my schedule seems to me the opposite of fun.
Hell, I don't always remember to play Wordle, and I think I have yet to get through an entire season of Lyrically Speaking with a perfect attendance record, but there are no consequences for dropping the ball there. --Bob

I got 237 pts (64th percentile). I liked that one a lot.
