tfninter-clubfootballquiz
The Temple Fortune FC Inter-Club Football Quiz was introduced for Club Members by Nigel Kyte as "a bit of light-hearted fun" at the start of the 2002/03 season. It was one of the features of "e-tffc", the Club's new e-mailed newsletter which later took on the more familar title of The Fortune News at the beginning of the next season. At first labelled as just a "fun" event, the competition was given a sense of achievement by the fact that a trophy was awarded to the first winner.

The inaugural competition was run as a knock-out event, with every member on the Club's e-mail directory being automatically entered. Names were drawn into pairs and in each knock-out round, a number of questions were e-mailed to the participants who had until midnight to respond. Bonus points were awarded to the quickest of each pair to respond. The person with the most points gained from correct answers and bonuses proceded into the next round. If there was a draw, the time element decided the outcome. Anyone not bothering to enter scored zero points and was eliminated. If both members didn't enter, both were eliminated which meant a bye for the opponent in the next round! The competition ran round by round over a number of weeks and was successfully completed when David Goldberg
defeated Jeremy Fess in the first TFFC Inter-Club Football Quiz Final.

The format changed in the second competition, when it was held more as a league table format involving a series of weekly rounds. The competition attracted less participants and only nine were left to compete in the eliminator round over five 10-question weeks. Scores were totalled and the two highest scoring participants qualified for the Final. In subsequent competitions, the format has fluctuated between the first two used.

The season-by-season history of the Inter-Club Football Quiz can be found here. Different rules have been brought in over the years to restrict the competition to Club Members and also to exclude those winning it three times or more (to give other participnats a chance to win). Steve Feiger won the Quiz on six occasions with David Goldberg taking the title four times. Both also were beaten finalists three times each. On occasions there has been a £50 reduction off the following season's membership fee to the Quiz winner, as long as he was a fully-paid up Club Member, but this has only applied subject to the number of entries. In most cases a trophy has been presented at the Club Awards Presentation Event.



QUIZ CHAMPION 2023/24 – JONATHAN COHEN
The Final of the 22nd TFN Inter-Club Football Quiz was completed on Friday 15th March via WhatsApp and ex-TFFC player JONATHAN COHEN narrowly beat First Team player BAILEY STOCKMAN by 16-15 in a thrilling 20-question final shoot-out. Congratulations go to JC who finished second in the qualifiers. He wins his second Quiz title, having captured it in season 2010-11. Bad luck to Bailey who was the fastest responder in most questions and would have won the contest had the scores been tied. In fact, Bailey led for most of the final and was unluckily pipped at the end. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to take part.
