Quiz League of London

[citation needed] In knockout competitions where a draw is not permitted, an additional ninth round of questions is played.

QLL uses the MIMIR quiz format (named after Mímir, a god of Norse mythology who was renowned for his knowledge and wisdom).

Matches are played in groups of four with positions drawn at random and each person has three questions addressed to them, in each of five rounds.

With the advent of QLL's in-house online scoresheet, this is handled automatically as part of the scoring process, meaning that a separate bonus counter is no longer required.

For the 2023 competition, functionality was added to the scoring system whereby the text and answers are shown on screen to the reader, thereby allowing individual quizzes to be run by a single official.

For the first 22 years of the league's existence, quizzes were printed out and posted to each venue via snail mail.

These quizzes are downloaded from a separate website (not part of the main QLL website) and, 30 minutes before the match start time, half of the password is texted to the home team captain and the other half to the away team captain.

This means that teams can do their own scoring and submit their own sheets live which, in turn, not only eliminates virtually all human errors but also updates the league tables and stats engine in real time.
