BRAIN OF ONLINE QUIZ LEAGUE
This is another individual competition that plays using the Mimir format. Everyone takes a qualifier quiz using WikiQuiz and based on your scores you are placed into Tiers of 32 players. From then on it's a straight knockout over 4 weeks with the top 2 progressing and the bottom 2 players being eliminated.
At the end of the 4 weeks we will crown our tier champions.
This event costs just £4 to participate but please note that all players are only guaranteed to play the qualifier quiz and one Mimir quiz and there are certain eligibility requirements for participants.
