Sööge sooja saia väikese hulga kiiviga!
Thanks for putting up an English thread on the EC, Arko, because my Estonian has become a bit rusty lately
I immediatly have a question for you: how will the preliminaries of the international matches be organised? Will teams be playing against eachother or will each team have to answer the 50 questions as a team, after which the 4 highest scoring team will go on to the semifinals?

Arko,
I'm looking at giving a presentation on 'Quizzing in Belgium' with an explanation on how we do it here plus 56 quiz questions as examples (teams of 4 can participate) . If you could fit it around the schedule somewhere that would be great. It will take some 60-90 minutes (I think) but will only be in English.
Keep up the good work.

Arko is soon going to regret the day he opened an English thread on his forum, swamped as he is by Belgian quizzers (and their questions):D
Here's another question: how will the individual tournament be organised? Straightforward individual quizzing, a knock-out system or a Champion's League system (first rounds: pools, then knock-out)?

Indeed a good idea for the different countries to give a showcase of the type of quizzing that's practiced. We'll get to know the Estonian type in the EC for teams I suppose. What about our English / Norwegian / Dutch / Finnish / Russian / ... friends?
Well, adding-on to the already crammed official program, will be another matter ....
Let's give it a try?
Do the English bring their buzzer?

Indeed, which is what I called the 'Champion's League system', which builds in a game element, but also a bit of fairness (thus preventing types like me of ending too high in the tournament, like happened last time in Gent )arko kirjutas:The individual tournament will be a modification of the Ghent system. Instead of head-to-head competition there will be groups of four with the two best proceeding to play for the higher places and the two other for the lowers.

Let's say that, culturally speaking, I'm a Belgian quizzer, because Belgian quizzes is all I've ever played; I just happen to have a Dutch passport lingering in my drawer ...Steven kirjutas:Since when are you a Belgian quizzer, Derk?Prodigy kirjutas:swamped as he is by Belgian quizzers (and their questions):D
