Ormskirk Quiz League

We have a vacancy for a new team as a second division team has withdrawn.

All matches will be played under the modified rules where a player may attempt an answer without penalty. If incorrect another member of the same team may attempt an answer before it is passed to the opposition.

At least one other team is also looking for new players.
