Join

The simplest way to get involved in the Quiz League of London is to attend a game. The fixtures are posted at www.QLL.org.uk/w/QLL:Fixtures and matches begin at 8.30 p.m. in the league season and 8 p.m. in the Summer Quiz League. Most teams should be able to offer you a seat in the friendly, and you might be able to get a seat in the main game if a team doesn't have four players on that night.

We have an on-line application form where you can express an interest in joining the league or any of its competitions as a team, partial team or as an individual looking for a team. For a PDF application form to enter or renew, please click the link below:

Questions

  • Why should I join a Quiz League?

People take part in quiz leagues for a variety of reasons. It's an enjoyable social activity that exercises the mind without stretching the bank balance. The friendship and comradery of taking part in organised matches often exceeds that of pub quizzes, and it is a pastime often participated in by people who take part in television and radio quizzes to sharpen their edge.

  • How do I join a team?

If you've never played the format before, it's well worth trying to get a game or two so that potential team-mates can see the kind of subject areas where you might be able to contribute. Although the matches typically take place in pubs, they are a bit different to pub quizzes. New teams are also welcome to challenge existing teams at social events or, by prior arrangement. To get started, we have a joining in form.

  • Is it like a pub quiz?

Not exactly. All questions and answers in the quiz are all spoken, and all rounds are general knowledge. Matches take place between two teams on a home and away basis as part of a league structure. Each team has four players, though squads normally number at least six, and matches typically take place in a pub.

  • How do the matches work?

The league operates a divisional structure with teams of four players playing other teams at home and away, normally in pubs. At the end of the season, there is a cup competition and we also run the Brain of London individual contest. Matches consist of 64 questions, and we play a friendly (or three) in the same format after the main event.

  • What's the commitment?

The league season lasts from late September to about April. Matches start at about 20:30 on Tuesdays, with the evening generally finished by about 22:00. There is a break over the Christmas and New Year period and a couple of social quiz events on weekends in the summer. We also run cup (The All London Cup) and individual (Brain of London) competitions after the completion of the league season, and the Summer Quiz League in the Summer months.

  • What if I don't live in London?

People have been known to regularly travel not inconsiderable distances to take part in Quiz League of London matches, this includes locations as far away as Winchester and Leeds! There are many leagues throughout the country, and we are happy to put you in touch with a more local league should you require it.

  • What was the answer to the flyer question?
