Sporting Numbers 4

This pub quiz handout round features a list of 15 statements describing various measurements from the world of sport, such as "the length of a snooker table", "the distance between bases on a baseball pitch" and "the distance between the goalposts on a football pitch". The aim for teams in your quiz is to work out what these distances are by choosing from a list that features the 15 correct distances in a mixed order.

There is quite a big spread in the measurements, but for a lot of statements, teams are likely to only have a rough guess as to the actual answer, and so may have to choose from a few numbers in the list. Therefore, as well as testing their sporting knowledge, it is likely that teams will have to rely on some deduction and educated guesswork to complete the round.

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.
