Sporting countdown SHEEP

Zaph

Right, I've played around with the Sheepulator and it seems straightforward enough (that will come back to haunt me), so I've decided that it's time to run my very own Sheep for the first time.

For those who aren't fans of sport, don't let that put you off, because when you read the questions you'll quickly realise that Google and Wikipedia are going to be everybody's friend here. It's a countdown from 15-2, with the number corresponding to the total number of possible answers to each question, although as we all know there are no wrong answers in sheep. Signups close Saturday 27th March, so on your marks...


15 Name one of Tiger Woods' major wins (tournament and year)
14 Name a Pro 14 rugby club
13 Name a rugby league position
12 Name an NFL team that has never won the Super Bowl (franchises that have moved/changed name will be grouped under current name)
11 Name a country/group that has won a Winter Olympics medal of any colour for the skeleton
10 Name a British Formula One world motor racing champion
9 Name a baseball fielding position (i.e. any position other than batter)
8 Name an Irish cycling Grand Tour (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a Espana) stage winner
7 Name a netball position
6 Name a sport that Ireland has won a Summer Olympics medal in (e.g. cycling, rather than specific event such as men's road race)
5 Name an Irish/Northern Irish golfer who has won a major since 2000
4 Name one of the titles a boxer must hold to be considered an undisputed world champion (all identified by 3 letters)
3 Name one of the cities, other than Tokyo, that hosts a sumo honbasho (professional tournament) each year
2 Name one of the individual men's ski jumping competitions at the Winter Olympics

You think you know someone and then they go to a different room and start a Sheep...

I've submitted my answers early so there can be no accusations of cheating!

In. So is this how kids do their homework these days? None of this flicking through some old book to eventually discover you have the wrong fecking book.

Is a Walrus the music one? I don't think anyone needs me judging their music choices. (Unless their choices are 90s pop!)

Ah ha, that's a Walrus I would be qualified to enter

Well if that's all you listen to, now is the time to branch out..

In.
I don't think I have ever googled any FG as much as I did in this sheep. If I win I should be stripped of the title, doping control or something!! :pac:

Zaph

And with Aris in we're now into double figures. Still plenty of time for you to get your answers in, and this is a sports one even LeVar can enter because I'm assuming he knows as much about sumo or skeleton as everybody else. :pac:

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'll have a look at the questions properly over the weekend and give it a whirl.

At a glance I could actually answer some of those without resorting to google...

LeVar brings us up to 15, and blows anyone's chance of claiming to not knowing anything about sport as an excuse for not taking part.

Hey, I resent that, I do know some things about sports... :rolleyes:

Zaph

Apologies, I forgot you scored highly on the sports questions that weren't in the sports category in Kolido's quiz.

Can't compete on the gif front, I'm afraid - but at least I came up with 14 (seemingly) sensible answers to the questions......

Well you actually came up with 15, so you might want to knock one off there

Aha, that extra one was before I read the question properly!! :rolleyes::D


I'll PM you which to delete.

Enjoyed that.

One in particular I changed the answer several times.

Zaph

After a little flurry of activity today 2D brings us up to 20 entries. Still plenty of time to get yours in if you haven't done so yet.

Zaph

Last couple of days to get your entry in. Up to 24 now, would be great to hit 30.
