Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Eleven
I’ve got two takers (to paradise) tonight
If some wants to get in around 9, let me know
The geography question is manageable. There are no picture questions. There are Google slides. Wear a hat.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Eleven
Thanks Jerloma for the obvious-in-hindsight suggestion that people should stick around and watch/comment/DJ for the other sessions. When we figure out how to do all 32 at once, we’re pitching it to MTV (featuring...)

There's gotta be a way to make money off of this. It would be an awesome game show and you could start with like 16 (or so) people.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Eleven
This week's questions are now at the front of the thread. Some other news:
I'll be posting the videos from this week's live contestants at noon on Friday and I won't be around until later that afternoon, so you can watch before the reveal if you have time to kill. Swamper episodes will go up individually.
No live action happening this week in advance of Week 12, partly because I don't have all the questions but mostly because I can't do it every week. I will bring it back once or twice more before the end of the regular season, and then we can try for as many as possible during the playoffs.
Emails went out to everyone who I still need a question from through the rest of the year.
CONCACAF is North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Northern Ireland is not a country.
Disney World is in Florida.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Eleven
Right, you have a 30ish% chance of nailing it if you know all the teams in the NHL
And a whopping 62.5% chance if you know all of last year’s playoff teams but none of the players. I’m feeling like this is likely not the case maybe?
