= THE SPORTS QUIZ =

I run the Sports Quizzes. Feel free to participate in any event. They have changed lately the new schedule can be found here 05:45, 22 August 2006 (EST)

Biography
I go to King Edward VI Five Ways School, in Bartley Green. I have just finished doing my GCSEs there. I now have free time until the next academic year starts, at the end of August.

I am a sports fanatic. I love English sports, such as Snooker, Cricket, Soccer (or football as we call it). But I have grown to like American sports, mainly through the EA Sports Series. I particularly like the NHL; I only wish Britain were any good at Ice Hockey.

Outside of sports, I am the captain of my school's chess team. I am the third best in the school, and captained the team to Third in Division II of the Birmingham & District Junior Chess League. I have won the school's UK Chess Challenge Heat, and the Warwickshire Megafinal (that's good - it means I am the best Under 16 in Warwickshire (although I know I'm not)).

I now have a computer that works properly, with a great Centrino processor and everything. I should now be able to use this properly!

Complete

 * Formula One History (Schedule)
 * FIFA World Cup History - I did 1930-1998 in a poor format before Thecrookedcap did 2002, 2006, and improved the format.

Ongoing

 * Cricket - A working progress, this could take years to complete such is the scale of the game. Help with this would be very appreciated.
 * PGA - I have a biography, sort of thing, of the best British courses. I will write that up, then I will put hole diagrams up (when I can find them!). At least Royal Liverpool was easy enough. I might have to wait until the end of the year to get the diagrams for the following year off opengolf.com. Let me know if you know of a better source.
 * Detroit Red Wings Player Stats - I am going to try to put the stats on each page.

Proposed

 * Rugby - Just got to get time to get around to it.

Running

 * Snooker - I did practically the entire snooker section, with a bit of help from the administrators that put the pages in place. It is nearly complete, and the last touches will be done over the next few weeks. I will do news/opinions based on it as time passes.
 * England - A page which shows everything about English sport. I know a few of my friends are going to help with some red links, but feel free to put in some of them yourself.
 * Formula One - Is going to take a while, by "a while" I mean several years. I have to write reports for over 800 Grands Prix, then put driver and constructer profiles in place. Good old wikipedia has the results and GrandPrix.com has reports (that I reword to avoid copyright laws, unlike wikipedia, which copies and pastes them directly...) My aim is to complete the historical section within the next... 10 years. I promise that is not likely to happen. If you would like to help, I plead with you to do so.

Proposing

 * ArmchairGM Hall of Fame - The idea was approved, and we seem to have worked out the workings amongst ourselves. Now we need to wait for voting technology to be available to work it. Looking forward to that... Awkwardly, I took that title when I outlined my idea, but I'm sure the administrators can get around it. Still, the link shows you the discussion the community had.

Contact/Challenge Me
If you know of a source I could use, or would like to help with any of my plans, then leave a message on my talk page. Leave a message on there if you would like to challenge me to a showdown.
