Welcome to the Gondorian Games: The High Warden's Memorial Match!

Image

The Lords Aragorn and Faramir, King of Gondor and Prince of Ithilien, have gathered together to host a contest in honor of the late Boromir, who always loved a little competition. Held in the Steward's Hall, the match will be bout lasting on hour. Out of this melee, may the most knowledgeable win!


The High Warden's Memorial Match

This match is a Tolkien based trivia challenge consisting of five rounds. Each round is a one hour (rl time) or 100 questions (whichever is reached first) speed round. The rounds, along with their times and dates shall be as follows (unless I get too many complaints about a particular time slot):
The Hobbit - Saturday, June 13 @ 5 pm EST
The Fellowship of the Ring - Sunday, June 14, 9 am EST
The Two Towers - Saturday, June 20, 4 pm EST
The Return of the King - Sunday, June 28, 4 am EST
Silmarillion - Sunday, July 5, 6 pm, EST

The questions shall be difficult enough that you should have the book handy, but not so difficult that anyone familiar with the books could not find it in the book with the same amount of speed as someone searching for the answer on the internet. For example: When is Frodo's birthday?

Please feel free to RP your entrance if you so choose, but there is no need to. However, you must sign up in the Gondorian Games Sign Up thread in order to participate! The actual matches will start promptly at the times givens above.
