Is there any purpose to the Jackpot Round?

You can win five points instead of three.

Cheers, missed that bit when I read the rules

A surprisingly high number for Paul Parker IMO, as League One & A Lemon draw level. This third question will seal who goes home with one point, and who goes with at least three.

League One & A Lemon – Paul Merson 1
Team Tinpot - Paul Parker 19

1-1

good shout Mike

 

[SUTSS]

How is Paul Parker a 19? That is madness.

 

[Hooray]

Paul Stewart had 3 caps for England. How come he wasn't a possible answer?

Edit: Ignore me. Probably wasn't in a World Cup/Euro squad...

 

[Ciderhead]

Seriously? I'd never even heard of Paul Parker!

 

[HarvSFC]

Who's Paul Parker?

I don't even know who Paul Parker is. Surprised Merson was so low though.

 

[JonBCFC]

I know a Peter parker

 

[SALTIRE]

Yay for trees!

 

[Veggie Legs]

Paul Parker was right back for Manchester United in the 90s, he's not a nobody.
That's for people who don't know who he is, I'm surprised he got such a high score.

 

[Hooray]

Surprised how few people know Paul Parker!

I know 4 of those tree ones, by the way. Can't work out the one with the Z's in it though.

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye Paul Parker was decent even if he did play for that lot.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

The only tree I know of is a Rowntree.

 

[Ciderhead]

Well we've got them all... it's just which will score the least?

 

[Oaf]

L1+aL get through on the back of somebody putting an answer that scores a ridiculous amount more than it should have? Deja vu!

(Though actually, Merson is a good answer so I'll let you off there. Parker still should have scored lower though!)

I had Mariner for that one, which is painful to see. Though I'm sure I only know him because of his history with Argyle.

 

[blade1889]

we cant get any

League One & A Lemon - Silver Birch 16
Team Tinpot - Crab Apple 14

If League One & A Lemon had come in with Horse Chestnut, they'd have made it through. Only that with 12 points was a lower scoring answer than Crab Apple.

Team Tinpot make it to the Jackpot Round, where they will collect at least three points. All five would guarantee progression past the first elimination. League One & A Lemon walk away with one and move level on points with Team Adidas.

Your team has an impeccable knowledge of trees.

I'm a little concerned.

 

[Ciderhead]

GET IN THERE

 

[blade1889]

[SALTIRE]

Ah yeah a monkey puzzle tree, used to climb one of those when I was a kid near me!

 

[JonBCFC]

Monkey puzzle hahahaha

 

[blade1889]

[Magic]

Had very little idea which would be lowest there! Phew.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

[Hooray]

I got them all straight away apart from monkey puzzle, which I don't recognise.
