Summer Friendly League


The Summer Friendly League was introduced by The Quiz League of London in 2009.

There are six teams, which are created for each season using a draft system. Three teams play a round robin at either The Artillery Arms or The Crown on a match night. The aim is for new players to become part of The Quiz League of London by making this an easy competition in which to participate.

The six teams for the 2012 league were drawn in a draft on 15 May at The One Tun. Each player was given a starting handicap, based on performances over the last season with a higher handicap given to new players, adding an extra layer of team strategy!

Differences


The normal QLL rules within matches will apply, but there will be some differences.
  • Three teams at each venue will play a round-robin where the 'non-playing' team officiates.
  • Two matches, both counting towards league position per team per match night.
That means...
  • No need to provide scorers or time-keepers as this is done by another team.
  • Never more than four people per team will be required for a match night.
  • Matches will start at 8 p.m. to accommodate three fixtures per match night.
  • No need to provide friendly quizzes as all matches will be competitive.
Also:
  • Players will not be required to seek committee approval to switch teams.
  • Teams will not be required to provide food.
  • The Summer Friendly League will be free to enter!
Summer Friendly League matches are expected to take place in the more relaxed way that goes with the season. In warm and dry weather, we hope that some matches can be played outdoors.

Quizzes


The Summer Friendly League is free to enter, but participating teams are required to provide one new set of questions for use in a match in which they are not involved. As with Winter league friendlies, these will be submitted to an approved checker for editing.

QLL's on-line Quizmaker is available to all QLL teams, and can be accessed here.

Quiz setting guidance is available here, and the idea is that the quizzes should be welcoming to new teams and enjoyable for existing teams.

Quizzes for the other matches will be set by a team of approved setters.
