We will give you a retired NBA star's nickname.
You give us his
real name.
1.
"The Dream".
2. "The Mailman".
3.
"The Worm".
* Sports Scoring
Please refer to the handout at <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/scoring.png>.
4.
The pictures in A represent Olympic archery targets;
The
right-hand one is for reference only.
What is the total score
for the two arrows shown in the left picture?
5.
Picture B represents a ten-pin bowling score sheet.
What score should be written in place of the question mark?
6.
Picture C represents a curling club score board.
What is the
current score?
(Use "Red" and "Yellow" to represent the team
names.)
* Tennis Terms
7.
What is said to occur if the non-serving player ends up winning
the game?
8.
What term refers to the situation where the score is tied at
40-40 and neither player has the advantage?
9.
What name is given to a legal serve that is not touched by the
receiving player?
* City by Star Athletes
Given the names of three athletes in different pro sports, tell
us the city in which each trio is based.
For example if we ask
"Mats Sundin, Vernon Wells, Chris Bosh", the answer is Toronto.
However, the answers in this triple are all American cities.
10.
Paul Pierce, Marc Savard, David Ortiz.
11.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Chipper Jones, Michael Vick.
