Quiz Creation Notes for Sports

Quiz Creation Guidelines are generic and apply to all categories in Quizzyland. The notes in here (see the six topics below) outline some of the peculiarites which apply to sports quizzes. Before you create a quiz, please play a few games and then familiarise yourself with the contents of Quiz Creation Guidelines, and these Notes. Please keep in mind that although sport may be about competition and winning, creating quizzes isn't - there are no prizes in here for posting an impossible quiz.

The most common errors are:
(a) time-based questions the answer is not a constant, and may change as time goes by, e.g. "When did ... win their last title?"
(b) linked questions inter-dependent questions are not allowed, each question must stand on its own 2 feet,
(c) date stamping of questions with 'as of 2001' which results in questions going stale,
(d) inadequate or an absence of blurbs explaining the answer don't leave players hanging, wondering why the answer is correct,
(e) all-time records are time-based and thus not allowed e.g. "Who is the only player to ... ?" , and
(f) writing a quiz in the present tense should be avoided, write it in the past tense if at all possible.

Minor typos and spelling errors in quizzes are usually corrected by the editors before going online, but quizzes with a significant number of errors will be returned, as will quizzes which do not adhere to the creation guidelines and notes. Once again, please do NOT write a quiz unless you've played some games and are familiar with the contents of the Guidelines and these Notes.

* What should every sentence begin with?
* Which of the following answers should start with a capital letter?
* I've submitted a quiz in the sports category that took me an hour to create. I was waiting with anticipation to get it online. Instead, the sports editor listed absolutely everything that was wrong with it. What should I do?
