Highland Game Quiz Round 1

Highland Game Quiz Rules:

• All questions come from “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon.
• Each quiz is open book – if you want to sort through 850 pages to find answers.
• Each participant competes individually, but benefits the entire clan.
• Every correct answer earns one point. The participant with the most points wins. One winner will be selected each week. All points participants earn are added to their clan total and used to determine the ultimate winner of the Highland Games.
• In the case of a tie, the winner will be drawn at random. One name per contest will be chosen out of a hand-knit, felted cloche by one of Kellan Mackenzie’s 2-year-old twins to break the tie. Kellan Mackenzie (knitmo) will make the final decision regarding Highland Game Quiz results.
• Weekly winners will earn an additional five points for their clan. Those who tie with the most correct answers will earn an additional two points for their clan.
• Clan Chieftans are not eligible to participate in Highland Games. Chieftans are organizing the festivities for you – the swappers.
• Highland Game Quizzes, answers and winners will be posted at http://outlandishswap.blogspot.com/
• Answers must be e-mailed to outlandishswap@yahoo.com.
• Include Highland Games Round X (X being whichever round it is) in the subject line of your e-mail. Please include your Clan name, your names (both Ravelry and Swap name) and answers in the message. It will make it easier to match e-mails and answers up and tally points.
• Contest runs from 12:01 a.m. Wednesday to 11:59 p.m. the following Tuesday. All times are Eastern Time. For example: Round 1 will be posted Wednesday Sept. 10, ends Tuesday, Sept. 16 and results should be posted Friday Sept. 19.
