[imported_Hazy]

The baseball is looking tricky,

is it how many players take the field at the start of an inning, or how many people 'playing' the game are there at the start of an inning.

the answer could be 8, it is possible thatneither the catcher or the opening batter actually enter the 'field'.

 

[pepe]

willow,i'm a regular ten pin bowler,in fact i shot 310 last night,is that a decent score?

[bender]

Finally, the answers: 1. Rugby League Which position did Wally Lewis make his senior representative debut for Queensland at? Although Wally Lewis is renowned as a 5/8 and played his first state of origin game at lock, his debut position for Queensland was actually at halfback. 2. Boxing Name the first World Heavyweight champion to retire as undefeated champion. Rocky Marciano is widely regarded as the only man to have retired as undefeated World Champion. This is not actually correct. James J Jeffries was actually the first man to retire as undefeated World Champion. However, his record is tainted because he attempted a comeback, approximately 6 years later and lost to World champion Jack Johnson. 3. Rugby Union Who was the Captain of Australias first ever World Cup winning Rugby Union side. Nick Farr Jones 4. Soccer Name the only side ever to go through a World Cup campain without having lost an official World Cup game. This is actually a misprint. It should have read "without actually winning the World Cup Tournament". The answer was Australia. However, the following sides could have been answered correctly in the way the tournament was written. Australia Uruguay Italy Brazil England West Germany France 5. Athletics Name the ten events in the Decathlon. This was a lot harder than I thought. Day 1 100m, Long Jump, Shot put, High Jump, 400m, 110 hurdles, discus, Pole Vault, Javelin, 1500m 6. Swimming Who holds the world record for most number of Swimming Gold Medals at a single Olympic games event. Mark Spitz 7. Basketball Name the first country other than the USA to win a Mens Gold Medal at the Olympic Games.? Russia was the first side to defeat the USA 8. Baseball How many players take the field in a baseball game. 9 players actually take the field in a baseball game. As was correctly pointed out by some, the catcher does stand outside the field. Although this may be taking things too far because technically all of the batting side will also take the field so the answer could be 18 or 20 if you consider that it is likely that the catcher will walk onto the field at one point. 10 players was the intended answer. 9. Motor Racing Who holds the World record for most number of Grand Prix pole positions Ayrton Senna, 10. Professional Wrestling Which country did the legendary Mr X hail from? I cant believe nobody has heard of MR X. This was a trick question though and in a sense everyone got the question right. MR X was the mystery man in a mask. No one knew where he came from so he was billed like many others as being from "Parts Unknown". Therefore, those who answered no idea were in fact correct. 11. Cycling Who was the first American to win the tour de France? Greg Lemond 12. Diving Explain why a dive which scores 8 may not score as many points as a dive which scores 10. The correct answer was in fact because of the degree of difficulty is multiplied by the average score. However, as some people correctly pointed out, the top and bottom judges scores are eliminated from calculations so therefore there are actually two different correct answers. 13. Sailing Name the American skipper who became known as the first American ever to lose the America's Cup. Dennis Conner 14. Cricket During World Series Cricket there was a TV program which sought to find the Worlds Fastest bowler, who won this competition. Jeff Thomson 15. Gymnastics Who was the first person ever to record a perfect 10 score Nadia Comaneci 16. Grid Iron Which team made the 'No Huddle Offence' famous in the nineties? Buffalo Bills 17. Aussie Rules Name the first two non victorian teams to enter the VFL/AFL competition and what two cities were they based in? Sydney Swans, Brisbane Bears based in Sydney and Gold Coast The Sydney Swans were originally South Melbourne so do not count. West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Bears were actually the first two non victorian sides to enter the comp. However, the trick part of the question is What cities were they based in. West Coast were in Perth and Brisbane were in Gold Coast. 18. Horse Racing Who was the first horse from Australia or New Zealand ever to win the Japan Cup? Horlicks. Better Loosen up won the Japan Cup a year after Horlicks. 19. Netball Which country won this years Commonwealth games Gold medal? Australia 20. Hockey Which two countries played in the final of the Seoul Olympics Hockey tournament Australia and South Korea 21. Ice Hockey How many periods are in a game of ice Hockey? 3 22. Tennis Who was the last player to win a Grand Slam? Steffi Graf was the last person to win a grand slam. Rod laver was the male. A grand slam is the tennis term for winning each of the 4 majors in a single year. 23. Squash What was the first name of the two former World squash champions whose last name were Khan, and what country did they come from. Jahingar and Jansher were both from Pakistan 24. Volleyball How many players in a volleyball team? 6 25. Table Tennis What other name is this sport commonly known as in many countries. Ping Pong 26. Badminton What do you call the thing badmington players hit over the net during a game. Shuttlecock 27. Rowing What is the most number of people who could sit in a boat during an official olympics boat rowing race? 9 , 8 rowers and and the cox 28. Ironman Racing Who was the first Australian Ironman champion to leave the sport in pursuit of an Olympic games Medal? Grant Kenny 29. Ten Pin Bowling What is the highest ten pin Bowling score ever scored in a game? 300, although Pepe may dispute that if his answer was based on his own actual performances. 30. Snooker How many points is the Green ball worth? 3 points The new LWOS Legend by a majority decision was Gav BT. A suberb effort considering many considered the quiz to be too Australian.

 

[pepe]

official protest lodged-i dispute the soccer question,australia was the correct answer, i don't think steffi won the grand slam in a calender year.
the answer to the diving question is clearly degree of difficulty,not the deduction of highest and lowest.

gav being the gentlemen that he is would'nt want to be crowned grand champion in this manner,i call upon gavbt to step down and hand back the million dollar purse.

pepe (the peoples champion)

Pepe, in 1988 Steffi Graf became the first person ever to win a Golden Grand Slam. This meant she won the Australian, Wimbledon, French, Us Titles as well as the Olympic Games Gold medal.

By my count, that leaves Gav still in the lead. In fairness, pepe was definitely the unluckiest. Even his wrong answers were very close. He must be ruing the Ten Pin Bowling question.
