El Prez: Strange places, questionable people
The Oxford Town v Game reminded me that it's not the just the teams that are on trial in a quiz match, but the question-setter as well.

Town v Gown: the wisdom of years
There must be something in the water in Oxford. The student squad is noted for its consistent strength every year, but on Friday night in Christ Church they met their match in two teams from the very same city. A team representing the staff of the Bodleian Library hammered a student squad side, before the Town v Gown contest was decided on the very last starter in a game with very few errors.

Tournament: Masoquizm II - No Memory of Pain?
After two-and-a-half years, the original hardcore quiz tournament is back! On Saturday 20 May in Oxford, the challenge will be 16 matches in ten hours on some of the nastiest questions in the world.
They say the body has no memory of pain, but I reckon that just by saying "Masoquizm" to anyone who braved this concept the first time around in October 2003, you could elicit at least a wince. Well, my friends, we're older but no wiser, so we're doing it again. If you're brave enough or mad enough to be one of the eight teams taking part, you'd better sign up quickly.

If you must learn lists...
...at least learn from the best. Instead of straight binary lists, the NAQT "You Gotta Know" section offers a high density of facts about the really important answers that crop up in academic questions time and again.
