The Categories
Note: As you’ll soon discover, there’s a good deal of overlap between certain categories. Many of the sports covered in other categories are also in the Olympics, for instance. I’ll make sure to balance the questions accordingly, so that, for instance, if there are two tennis questions in the “Country Club” category, there won’t be any in the Olympics category. And if there’s a question about Olympic Hockey, that will likely go under the Hockey category to avoid having too many hockey questions in one Series.
Sub-Categories: Each set of five questions throughout a Series in a specific category will be separated into broad sub-categories such as history, current events, rules, entertainment, and business.
Football – Self-explanatory
Soccer – Self-explanatory
Baseball – Self-explanatory
Basketball – Self-explanatory
Hockey – Self-explanatory
Obscure sports – For the foreign and the uncommon.
Racing & Combat – An admittedly odd couple that includes motor sports, horse racing, boxing, MMA, wrestling, etc.
The Country Club – For sports we associate with money, from tennis to golf to lacrosse to polo to fox hunting. Expect many fox hunting questions.
Olympic Sports – Sports that are contested in the Olympics that generally don’t appear in another category, such as swimming or track & field.
Games – Another broad category which can include anything from billiards to chess to video/arcade games to cards.
