Why haven't some created sports quizzes? You think that sports is not your thing? A few people are somewhat skiddish sports fans while some are ridiculously terrorizing in the world of sports. Why not try a quiz in the Sports Category even if you are not a dedicated sports buff? We have openings in almost everything under the sun from baseball, football, soccer, badminton, skiing, track and field, gymnastics, shooting, fishing, the Olympics, basketball, auto racing, horse racing, cricket, and even more! Even if "sports" is not your thing, you never know what is in the back of your head that deals with some even obscure sports. Give it a shot. A Sports Editor will be more than happy to help guide you through the process to help you to get that quiz online. We've done this before, and we'll be waiting for you, either in message inquiries or your quiz.

You never told me that was a contingency. But, that goes to show that if you can get a sports quiz online, then *anyone* can place a sports quiz online. Thanks for the dap.

I should be getting around to writing a few more quizzes in sport - just finishing off some challenges for the moment!

The next sports quiz is about #5 on my "quizzes to make" list.

By the way, I thought advertising wasn't allowed on FT (even if it is for charity)

I'm working on my first sports quiz as we speak!

I also have an idea for a series of sports quizzes but am unsure if I will be able to make them yet.

Is racing mobility scooters considered to be a sport? A couple of us took on some Segways, and lost!

If NASCAR is a sport, then racing Segways should be too!

We were riding mobility scooters, chasing some fellas who were riding on Segways!

Sue, you are too funny!

Maybe you can come up with a quiz about scooters? Paint a number on it and it should be in sports...

p.s. Riding Seways is not as easy at it first looks. I got to ride one and almost fell off!

I wrote one on martial arts and knitting - that's almost sports!

Oh, and I'm still not sure if this is a wind-up* or not, but I found a site with some people supposedly developing a crafty new game for Wii - Kniitiing, no really. I'd so love it to be true, because apart from anything else, I can see it actually being a really great way to teach people to knit!

But see how it all comes together, what with the hobbies and the sports and the video games? And while I'm leaping about randomly*, am I the only person who has been clumsy enough to sustain a Wii-related injury? Yeah, I thought so, and I wasn't even playing anything active at the time, just the crossbow game that came with the gun thingie...double

*pun not intended, but I'll take it!

ing, I know someone who got carpet burn on the top of their foot from playing bowling on the Wii for too long!

Worst I have had is a Wii remote hurled at the TV by my 7-yr-old. He now knows why mum and dad keep telling him to wear the wrist strap

Last year we decorated the mobility scooters as Red Arrow planes, hilarious.

For a racing teammate of mine, I "obtained" a golf cart and modified it to look like a sprint car. It had the two wings, fake chrome headers, was painted and lettered to his car specs, and had two extra batteries for the weight. He and his wife used it on the golf courses, and was a real head-turner for sure.

Believe it or not, I can sure picture Sue, Denni, and Ren in the scooters. Somewhat of an open shopping mall bump cars convention, people screaming and running everywhere, and Sue hot on their tails while hunching down to avoid the wind resistance!

Painting lightning bolts and racing stripes on the sides makes it faster.

Or, raise the back end really high off the ground. That way it saves gas or battery power because it is running downhill all the time.

So, I'm curious Nightmare, has this thread increased the amount of quizzes in the Sports queue? Just wondering if it worked.
