Individual Championships - Venues
Here are the details of the venues currently confirmed for the OQL Individual Championships. Spaces available are updated at the end of the day - if you register for a venue which is full we will contact you directly to discuss a refund or moving to a different venue
When registering, players will select their venue and then pay the entry fee. Everyone must pay in advance, there will be no payments on the day and we'll need to know numbers in advance for printing and capacity reasons. We will be allowing our proctors to play, and there will be rigorous security measures in place to ensure that no one accesses the quiz prior to the event starting. OQL will cover all venue costs so no venue will be more expensive than any other. Here are the 12 venues and the host in charge of each, whom you can contact for any venue-specific questions.
