Title: Champions Trivia
Description: Here's your host, hankaaron44 !
hankaaron44 - February 12, 2006 04:10 AM (GMT)
Okay, here's how it's going to work. I need eight guys to sign up and rank on a scale of 1 to 10 ( 1 being very little and 10 being a lot ) how much u know about baseball history, baseball firsts, baseball hall of famers, etc. Then after the first eight people sign up we shall commence. I'll match people up with similar skill levels and I will ask each of the four pairings a different baseball ( MLB ) question. First to answer it correctly advances to the next round where I once again will pair up the winners of similar baseball knowledge and ask a question. The winner of the last round will be crowned champion and I'll need an admin's help with that a little. Although time zone differential is a factor and being active is, this will promote u being active in baseball before spring training. If u have any questions, concerns, or suggestions please PM me and not post here because I want to reserve this 4 applications and questions. U may use the internet to look up the answer. Oh yeah, and admins or g-mods who aren't participating, Pm me too about what we're gonna do 4 the prize. Researchers aren't eligible but they can be co-hosts and help me think of questions. U will get credit.
Let the games begin ! Sign up now to reserve your spot !

No, not a 208? :blink: :P
win2day - February 14, 2006 05:53 AM (GMT)
208 it is. I'll win every round, if he can't find someone to match up with me, lol.
Big Willy Style - February 14, 2006 06:38 AM (GMT)
Sign me up. I'd say with internet aid, I'd be about a 7.
Yankee King - February 14, 2006 04:12 PM (GMT)
That's 6 so far. We're waiting on two more people.
Also, hankaaron, I accept your offer and I will co-host.
hankaaron44 - February 14, 2006 10:54 PM (GMT)
Great !
Hey win2day, if u r a 2.08, I guess u be the worst, but if u were a 6, then u will most likely face 2004wschamps which in other words, if an archrival because she's a Red Sox fan !
Yankee King, I'll think of the championship question, but I'll let u think of the semi-finals question and I think of how many quarter-final questions u can give me. If u have any ideas 4 the prize, PM them to Tim or someone we can trust, and then tell me what it is.
Players so far :
DannyWestbrook ( 7 )
2004wschamps ( 6 )
garcia ( 8 )
braveschopbraves ( 7.5 )
win2day ( 7 )
Big Willy Style ( 7 )
win2day - February 14, 2006 11:45 PM (GMT)

hankaaron44 - February 15, 2006 01:47 AM (GMT)
All depends, win2day, all depends.
Hey look, we've got another co-host, RedRuffling ! I 'll figure out u and Yankee King's positions okay and tell u through PM.

Hank:
we have our 8 players now
Big Willy Style - February 19, 2006 08:24 AM (GMT)
Just don't pit me and BCB up in the first round. You can't have the 2 Braves fans going at in the first round.
Also, and more importantly, could hankaaron44 post in here exactly when he will be starting this game. I'm a college student, so I'll have to make time to do this, just wanna know when exactly I'll need to start clearing some time.
hankaaron44 - February 19, 2006 08:29 PM (GMT)
Problem here is that Yankee King is on vacation so he won't co-host. Red Ruffling, you'll do the two questions of the quarterfianls ( first round ) and both questions of the semifinal. I'll do the rest. Let's say that this trivia will begin with the first questions asked and posted for each pair on Wednesday/Thursday ( which ever the pairs perfer ) because I have a little bit of flu in me and I'll need to rest a few days.
The pairings going head-to-head in the quarterfinals r as stated ( I did some picking numbers out of a hat 4 some of these pairings ):
- garcia v.s. + mpic92
- win2day v.s. Big Willy Style
- Braveschopbraves v.s. DannyWestbrook
- 2004wschamps v.s. Carlfan
The host who makes your question will PM u at the time that the questions r posted either on Wednesday or Thursday. We could also that time before we ask the questions to think of the prize. No, u can't ask 4 another question if u don't get it. It shouldn't take too long to figure out the answers to the question because if u r good at searching through the net, it'll take a short period of time.
BigPapi06 - February 19, 2006 08:32 PM (GMT)
I honestly don't care when my question is posted.
hankaaron44 - February 19, 2006 08:33 PM (GMT)
I'm just doing that because Big Willy said he needs time.
win2day - February 20, 2006 01:10 AM (GMT)
Well here is the problem I have. I have classes in the evening, on Wednesday, from 6-9. I also have classes in the morning that day. On Thursday, I have classes again from 6-10. But also classes from 4-5 in the afternoon. My other class is early in the morning. Thats my schedule for the 2 days.
hankaaron44 - February 20, 2006 02:52 AM (GMT)
We'll post the question 4 your pairing on Friday if it's okay with u and Big Willy.
win2day - February 20, 2006 03:44 AM (GMT)
Friday, before 5 or after 9 is fine for me. or before 5 on Wednesday is fine too.

Wednesday before 5 would be good for me to. I got one class from 12:40-2:05. Friday would also work, cause I don't have any classes. I do however have a fantasy draft at 6 pm. All these time I listed for me are CST. I'll leave it up to you, win2day.
British_Pharaoh - February 22, 2006 12:37 AM (GMT)
BCB dont think I'm gonna go easy on u cos ur the MOTM! ur going down boyo LOL
win2day - February 22, 2006 02:23 AM (GMT)
Wednesday Before 5 is fine with me. As long as I know when exactly the question being posted.
Big Willy Style - February 22, 2006 07:31 AM (GMT)
Alright hankaaron44, Wednesday before 5. Hopefully a little closer to 2 since I'll be just out of class then. Anyway, let me and win2day know. Thanks!
win2day - February 22, 2006 01:30 PM (GMT)
Yeah, let me know soon. I think this is wednesday, right? lol
hankaaron44 - February 22, 2006 03:37 PM (GMT)
We're procrasinators. Is it okay if we post the questions Thursday night at like 10:00 PM EST ?
RedRuffing15 - February 22, 2006 04:25 PM (GMT)
ZHey Hankaaron, PM me with what you want me to do, like what kinda questions, what degree of difficulty n such
win2day - February 22, 2006 09:39 PM (GMT)
Yeah, 10:30 because my class ends at 10 so I have to get back to me dorm.
hankaaron44 - February 22, 2006 10:42 PM (GMT)
Sure, 10 : 30 it is since it's a first to post answer wins basis. U r all allowed unlimited guesses on your question. Just post the answer, don't even have to say who you're facing because we'll figure it out.

I don't know. Sometime I can't sleep, so I get on DHB until I get tired enough that I can sleep.
Is it the Cincinnati Reds?
