March QoD Rules

Message

Each day of questions in March will have a different theme. Some themes will require you to answer questions a special way, so be aware of those. There will always be 16 questions (the last question is a bonus) per day with the exception of the March 28 “Final QoD”, which will have 22 questions.

Point structure:

Week 1 (February 27-March 7) – 1 point per correct answer, 5 points for the bonus
Week 2 (March 10-14) – 2 points per correct answer, 10 points for the bonus
Week 3 (March 17-21) – 3 points per correct answer, 15 points for the bonus
Mon.-Thurs., March 24-27 – 4 points per correct answer, 20 points for the bonus
Fri., March 28 – 5 points per correct answer

Other rules:

--Make sure you spoilerize your answers.

--No editing your answers after you post.

--No cheating off another player's paper.

--No Google, Wikipedia, or other Internet sources to look up answers.

That should cover everything. We'll start Wednesday at 6 AM Eastern.

What, no weekends? At least my record of 30 consecutive days of QOD will be safe.

I'm assuming that March 24-27 will be the four solid days of Nothing But Nuggets, right?

Sorry, but no. In fact, there aren't a whole lot of sports questions in my upcoming stacks.

Is there a reason we have to wait until March for it to start?

Other than being anal, I mean.

Because I have only 20 days worth of questions.

But if I can write more, we'll start this week. There is a very outside chance (less than 1%) that we could start tomorrow.

I will be happy and thankful for whenever you start.

I love the game.

For one, I am happy to hear this, Mr. Nelly. I love to play QoD, but I still know only as much about basketball as I learned in an Air Bud movie, plus what you and Miss Fantine have explained to me. I keep intending to learn more, then I take a nap.

Thank you!

Do I get an August or something?

Good news: I have more questions ready to go, so we'll start tomorrow morning. The rules have been updated to reflect this.

Very good news!

I will play.
