09. THE STATISTICS:

____________________________________________________________________________________________
10. THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- Except for warm welcomes to incoming players and helpful hints for incorrect answers, the QM may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more wisely by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date).
-- Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes' to every answer, and too many posts might scare away potential participants.
-- The Scoreboard will tell the tale, but be patient about those Updates ...the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- You want 'em fast or accurate? I don't do both.
-- Comments on Correct Answers (always a player's first, and sometimes after several attempts) will be noted ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- When traffic is heavy, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and Incorrects (NTAs and Halfers) will be bundled.
-- Only one Answer can be correct ... MINE! (It's good to be the Quizmaster).
-- Be sure to number correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered GG staff.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post ... this vehicle cannot make U-turns.
