Quiz 3

The Paul Lamford Quiz / Seminar

held at
FUNCOM BACKGAMMON LIVE IN LONDON
10th November 2001

Decide on your actions in the 6 positions,
in each case by marking 1, 2 and 3 against the three options
so that 1 is your first choice and 3 is your last choice.

3 points will be awarded for each correct first choice,
2 points for each correct second choice and
1 point for each correct third choice.

Fill in your name, email address, hit submit and
keep a written record of your selections.
I (MMM) used to mark entries but this quiz is now
6 months old so I no longer do so.
Instead you will be directed to the answers
when you have filled in the quiz.

All positions have been tested on the members of The Fox Reformed Wine Bar and you will be able to convert your score into a BIBA rating and a Funcom rating, based on the performance of the Fox members.
