OK. Recall that for Capitol Punishment 2, I ensured
that football (the non-sissy version ;) was properly
represented as a sport alongside gridiron, hockey, basketball
and baseball. 6 tossups and 6 boni out of 15 rounds.
At least it is a start :)

I recall once
writing for a trash tournament a bonus where the answers
were the Grand National, the Grand Prix de l'Arc de
Triomphe and the 2,000 Guineas (in that order of
difficulty I reckoned.) None of the six rooms that played it
got above 10 points and I think at least one room
lamed it. 

And come on? The Premiership? Tax
your mind and name six First Division teams now. Let's
see ... Huddersfield, Wimbledon, Sheffield Wednesday
(aka the pigs), Sheffield United, Watford, Fulham (who
currently lead the damned thing and will make it in the
Premiership next season) ... 

Now let's tax our mind
even more ... name some teams in the Greek leagues :P


OK, enough.
