Has Tiger Woods won more golf Majors than Walter Hagen? How many tennis Grand Slams does Roger Federer need to win to pass Pete Sampras’s record of 14? And if Michael Schumacher wins this year’s Formula One title, will he have won eight or nine championships?
If you know the answers then you better be at South Africa’s biggest sports quiz.
The Sports Trust Quiz is the armchair sportsman’s biggest Major of the year and tees off at 19:00 on October 4 at The Castle in Kyalami. Teams of 10 individuals or company teams are encouraged to enter at a cost of R10 000, which includes a three-course meal, drinks and the chance to be crowned the South African sports quiz champions for 2006.
And if companies feel the need to dip into the transfer market they are welcome to bring along their own impact players in the form of sports stars or celebrities.
The quiz offers a plethora of Grand Slam prizes, including a hot-air balloon ride from Flying Pictures, cellphones from Vodacom, accommodation from Sun International and the Carousel, and other “trophies” from the likes of SAB and Harmony.
The aim of this game is to score goals for development, with the quiz hoping to raise funds for various sports development projects throughout South Africa.
The money raised at last year’s quiz was used in projects such as providing sports equipment for 92 schools in Mitchells Plain, the building of eight basketball courts in rural KwaZulu-Natal as part of the Playing for Peace project there, providing soccer kit and equipment for 16 clubs that fall under the Dihlabeng Local Football Association in the Free State, and various other projects for over 30 sports codes countrywide.
“With such a fun and enjoyable concept there should be no reason why we shouldn’t raise R500 000. This year is expected to be even bigger and better,” said Anita Mathews of The Sports Trust.
“It’s such a worthwhile cause to help develop sport in this country, something that the quiz participants hold dear to their hearts. It provides these sports lovers with a great opportunity to make a tangible contribution towards the upliftment of sport in this country.”
