World Quizzing Championships

The World Quizzing Championships is an individual quiz contest organised by the International Quizzing Association (the umbrella organisation of various quizzing activities from more than 25 countries around the world). The competition has been staged annually since 2003 (21 years ago) (2003) (since 2004 in more than one country simultaneously) with an increasing number of contestants from an increasing number of nations. Since 2006, the competition has been staged on the first Saturday of every June.

As of 2024, Pat Gibson and Jesse Honey, hold the title for the highest-scoring quizzers with 186 out of 210 total points. (Although the quiz is out of 240, a player's lowest scoring round was dropped at the time Gibson and Honey played, and so their scores are out of 210 not 240).[1][2]

Format

edit

The World Quizzing Championships are in the form of a written test taken by individuals that is conducted at various points around the globe. Each competitor faces the same questions (translated into their mother tongue in many cases) at approximately the same time. There are 240 questions, divided into eight categories, and are given out in two packs of four papers. The contestants will be given sixty (60) minutes to answer each pack.[3] Previously, the rule is that at the end of the allotted time, the papers are marked and each contestant's top seven category scores will be added together to find the winner. However, this rule was changed in 2022. Instead, all eight papers will be counted to determine the winner.[4]

The genres and general content areas are a combination of academic and popular culture topics including:[3]

Genre Subjects
Culture Architecture, Fine art, Museums, Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, World cultures
Entertainment Ballet, Classical music, Film Music, Jazz & World Music, Opera, Pop music, Radio, Television
History Civilizations, Current Affairs, Exploration, Famous People, History
Lifestyle Costume, Design, Fashion, Food & Drink, Handicrafts, Health & Fitness, Human Body, New Age beliefs, Products & Brands, Tourism
Media Comic strips, Comic books, Graphic novels, Film, Language, Literature
Sciences Exact sciences (Chemistry, Physics, etc.), Fauna, Flora, Social sciences
Sport & Games Games, Sports, Hobbies & Pastimes, Records & achievements (in context of genre)
World Cities, Human Geography, Physical Geography, Inventions, Space, Technology, Transport

However, there is a chance that a question will seem to fit into one, two, or even several genres.[3]

Competition history

edit

2003

edit

A fledgling event was first staged by Quizzing.co.uk in 2003 at Villa Park football stadium, Birmingham, England. This saw 50 quizzers representing a handful of nations compete in a written test of quiz knowledge. The inaugural event was won by Olav Bjortomt. The event has full official status but only took place in one country and is sometimes erroneously omitted in statistics.[23]

2004

edit

In 2004, following the foundation of the International Quizzing Association (IQA), the event was held simultaneously in five countries: the United Kingdom (joined by quizzers from elsewhere, including Ireland), Belgium (joined by quizzers from the Netherlands), Estonia, India, and Malaysia. Over 300 quizzers took part. The UK leg was staged at Manchester United's Old Trafford football stadium. The 2004 winner was Kevin Ashman.[22]

  1.   Kevin Ashman – 154[22]
  2.   Pat Gibson – 135

  10.   Lauri Naber – 115

2005

edit

The 2005 championship on July 2, saw further significant growth with the event benefiting from the sponsorship of MSN Search. Countries joining the original five competing nations included Australia, Finland, Indonesia, Norway and Singapore. Quizzers sat eight papers of 30 questions each, covering: 'Culture', 'Entertainment', 'History', 'Lifestyle', 'Media', 'Sciences', 'Sport and Games', and 'World', with the lowest score from the eight genres being dropped – although these did come into play to settle tie-break situations. The eight genres were won outright or shared by quizzers from seven countries (Belgium, England, Estonia, Finland, India, Ireland, and Norway).

Efforts to encourage the participation of women in the contest (competitive quizzing has hitherto been something of a male-dominated pastime) were rewarded in 2005 with a win for Trine Aalborg of Norway in the 'Lifestyle' category and a sixth place overall for Dorjana Širola of Croatia (who also finished 3rd among those competitors who had gathered at Silverstone motor racing circuit for the UK leg of the competition). In India, another woman, Debashree Mitra of Bangalore took 3rd place overall.[21]
