looks liek that problem happened all the way back at Q9, but I haven't gone looking at the scores that closely until now. (I don't think I'd loaded this thread up on the computer)

Thanks, I've fixed it!

You're the one who uses "America" to refer to the US though

Nobody uses America to refer to anything other than USA. If you mean both North and South America say the Americas

Commentary

Considering the people in this game, I'm surprised chessboxing got matches, but I'm also surprised curling didn't get

more

matches.

Three perfect scores this round from

N, pablito and StrangerCoug

.

Save the Dragons

has the lowest score and drops a level, which means that D3f3nd3r is alone at the top! Can he keep that spot long enough for someone else to drop to level 7? Only time will tell!

I refuse to acknowledge running as a sport.

Cheery Dog · Post Post #215 (ISO) » Wed Jan 12, 2022 7:06 pm

I consider the puck in hockey to still be a ball.

Felissan · Post Post #216 (ISO) » Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:05 pm

I insist pole vaulting is the ideal answer here - the pole is unarguably the polar opposite of a ball.

StrangerCoug · Post Post #217 (ISO) » Thu Jan 13, 2022 9:54 am

I specifically said ice hockey and put a parenthetical that it technically used a puck and not a ball. (I also specifically said marathon instead of running, but hey, since you run in a marathon, I'll take the points

)

Sometimes I write questions and I think "ah yes, I've got them this time, right down the middle" and I'm completely wrong. This is one of those times. I was honestly hoping for a full unanimous agreement but alas!

As the only two interested in cooling off,

Datisi

and

DeasVail

both drop a level.

This question was like the ultimate no brainer for me. It’s already freezing in my apartment and with my not great balance, cc skiing was probably one of scariest things I ever tried. Only part I liked was the hot cocoa.
