Anyway, the rumour of BQ's death was exaggerated, we're pleased to say. Admittedly it's been something like a couple of years since the last BQ open tournament of any description, but in the meantime the BQ crew have been working away in the shadows still producing questions for various student and other tournaments. In particular, the Oxford and Cambridge inter-college competitions are stronger than ever, and we recently had a spectacular Varsity Match between the two universities.

To answer the first question you're probably asking, there will be more BQ tournaments. There won't be nearly so many open tournaments run by BQ itself, however, as there's already an awful lot of big quiz events around. BQ will therefore be concentrating more on the student game, taking it back to its roots. However, we're always open to licensing our questions for other organisations and people to run BQ events, so watch this space.

Meanwhile, feel free to have a look around our shiny new website. There's a lot of bits we're still working on getting opened, but there's already a new set of BQ rules, a clever new scoresheet, and a guide to the scorer's role in our "Playing the game" section. We hope soon to be bringing you a brand new Glossary of Quizspeak (from the warped minds that brought you the original Dictionary of Quizzing), and plenty of questions new and old in our "Questions & Quizzes" section.

We're also going to be slowly working through the archives, getting results and statistics for some old tournaments onto the site. In future, the "Results & Reports" section will bring you quick scores just as fast as we have them from all BQ official and recognised events. Finally, the "Talking Quiz" section will give (nearly) free rein to a notoriously opinionated bunch of quizzers, letting loose on any subject quiz-related.

If you'd like to get in touch with BQ, drop us a line at hello@buzzerquiz.com - you can find the address on the right of every page. In particular, while we're still getting everything sorted, let us know if you find things not working. Please also get in touch if you've got any suggestions for the site, or if you'd like to unleash your opinions on the quiz world in a Talking Quiz article (within the boundaries of taste, decency and libel, we hasten to add).
