NAME THAT SPORT QUIZ
This quiz is similar to the others I have done for countries, cities and musical instruments. Each clue is an image of something that is related to a specific sport or recreational activity. Make a list of your answers, making sure that their numbers are the same as the clues, and if you don't know the answer, guess, because I do not deduct score for a wrong answer. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS OR ANY HINT IN A COMMENT BELOW, BUT SEND YOUR ANSWERS TO BUZZ OF THE ORIENT IN A PN (PRIVATE NOTE) AND i WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS. Remember that I am on the other side of the world from most of you so I might be sleeping when I get them but I will reply to you within the next day.
Sometime there is a glitch in the system and a PN post does not go through, so if you don't hear back from me within a whole day, send it again. Same if I reply and you don't get it, tell me you didn't get my reply.
This quiz will be closed and the Winners' Circle announced on Monday evening June 2nd at about 10 p.m. New York City time.

Time for another break from the political divisiveness, time for a few minutes of fun. Sports are a pretty universal thing so everyone should be able to guess most if not all of the sports / recreational activities represented by the clues. Do NOT post your answers in a comment below, or even a hint, or it will ruin the quiz for everyone. Send your answers to me, Buzz of the Orient, in a Private Note (PN) and I will get back to you with your score and answers for those you missed. The Winner's Circle (Win, Place, Show and Honourable Mention) will be announced when the quiz is closed on Monday, June 2nd at about 10 p.m. New York Time.
Have a little fun everyone.
A quick glance through the list shows I've played almost all of them. Only ones I've not played were due to the location of my birth. hehe. I'll get to this later.
I've participated in only 17 on my part. I can't remember if I ever did the 18th.
Hope many members will play this one
Me too. It's one of the few things on this site that BOTH sides of the aisle can and will do and enjoy doing it.
Annnnnd sent..
Annnnnnnnnd received aaaaaaaand scored. Thanks.
I enjoyed the quiz Buzz.
Glad to hear it. It was my intention. However, I've noted over the years that there are some members who will never indicate an interest in something like this. In a way, I feel sorry for them. Maybe they just feel it's a waste of their precious time and they prefer earning tickets and points.
Completed and sent
I've done/played all of them except one at least once
Received your answers and scored them - thanks.
There's only one on that list I've never done.
Morning..yep will give it a fling..
Just sent it off..now for brekkie toast and Vegemite should be the go..😁
Got them thanks, scored them. Such a small breakfast? I think it's the most important meal of the day. Just finished mine - orange juice, toast with marmalade and blueberry jam, 8 fried cherry tomatoes, eggs sunny-side up and a mug of self-brewed Tim Horton's coffee.
Nahh.. usually just have toast or a toasted muffin for brekkie..
On weekends might have an egg and bacon sanga..but brekkie us pretty basic for me...😁
And you did.
And submitted - nice to play at something a lot more fun than these dumb partisan political posts. Thanks Buzz!
That's why I post them. Your answers have been received and scored. Thank you.
Sent then in
Got them and scored them - thank you.
Sports, Sports, sports
jump this sports game to first place!
Woke up this morning to see that it may not be on top, but at least it's still on the Front (Home) Page, so thanks for helping to keep it visible.
keeping the sports game in the playoffs
Thanks for your efforts, but unfortunately there have been no players for a while. Maybe only 6 NT members are really into sports. I guess to get a tsunami of responses I need to do a quiz about politics.
Sports game is starting the third quarter, plenty of time left
We're still visible thanks to you - maybe there will be more responses over the weekend.
Sent in. Needed to do it now, so I didn't forget to, but also, won't be back until Tuesday.
Received with thanks. and scored.
Saturday morning, breakfast is on and this goes back to the front page.
And there she be. Thanks.
24 hours later and we're still on the front page. come on people, get your reply's in. The game is easy and fun!
WOW!!! Top of the page!!!
submitted
Received and scored. Thank you. Now we made it to 8 participants - now only a little more than a day to go.
The sports playoffs have room of more than 8 players,
This is a game everybody qualifies for
None of my games or quizzes have reached that number of players, and there's only one day left anyway, but thanks for your cheerleading.
"The time has come, the walrus said...."
To end the fun and name who won instead.
Nine members participated, and I assume some others did not because they could not name some of the sports. I assumed some would not know what the cricket wicket was, or the croquet hoop and pole, but I was wrong. EVERYONE who participated was a top champion, because, ALL the eight participants (in order of submitting answers), JohnRussell, Just Jim NC TttH , George, Freefaller, Snuffy, charger 383, shona1, bccrane and Split Personality got perfect 20 scores. Many have played most of the sports, I have played or participated in all but hunting. Congratulations to all, and thanks for participating. Here are the answers:
1 Skiing or Trekking - ski or trekking poles
2 Cricket - a wicket (stumps and bails)
3 Bowling - a bowling pin
4 Golf - a golf bag for carrying the clubs, etc.
5 Archery - an arrow
6 Table Tennis (Ping Pong) - a paddle
7 Badminton - a "shuttlecock" or "bird"
8 Gymnastics - parallel bars
9 Hockey - a puck
10 Basketball - a basket
11 (American) Football - a football
12 Fishing (Angling) - a plug
13 Snooker (pool, or billiards) - table set-up
14 Baseball - home plate
15 Curling - a stone
16 Croquet - hoops (wicket), balls and post
17 Tug of War - rope
18 Tennis - racquet
19 Darts - target and darts
20 Hunting - a "pointer" dog
Thanks Buzz, a fun game even if most skip it.
Those who skip it either just don't want to have fun, or else their fun is in fighting over politics. Or else they didn't know enough answers and didn't want others to know it.
And as an added bonus I now know how to correctly spell Croquet
LOL, you weren't alone.
Morning...hmm I appear to be missing off your list..
Do I have to send over the heavies?
My cat when it's not happy with the menu...
OMG!!! You're right. That's the second time I've done that for all my quizzes and games and I apologize. Okay, Shona got them all right for a perfect 20 score, and she spelled croquet correctly. I've amended my closing report above.
Morning...no drama..if that's all that happens in life we are not going to bad..
Surprised the mob across the Pacific didn't drop the "U" in Croquet..🤣
LOL. well a few of the spellings were pretty wild, but at least the word SOUNDED like the correct one, so they got the point.
