Unread postby Kalah » 06 Jul 2007, 15:25

Vlad976 won the first game, it's time to tip him off the pedestal.

The rules are as follows:
- I make up questions, you send me answers via PM, within one week.
- You can ask for a hint (for a single question), but you only get a total of three.
- The winner is the player with the highest total of points after 5 rounds.
- Each question is worth 1 point, unless otherwise specified.

These are rather difficult. There are some that wonder if I'd ever find the answer. :D But I'm proud of knowing at least 4 just at this glance. :proud: Just 16 to go. :sweat:

Just checked my inbox to see if I had made a mistake. I hadn't. GC and Stefan were the only two who submitted answers to Round #1.

Remember guys, try to figure out what I'm really asking. Make sure you answer the question. Stefan correctly quoted the throw-in rule (cannot be thrown directly into goal), but he failed to say what the ref should do, which is to give a goal kick.
