Monday May 30th saw the exciting conclusion of the second season of the Irish Quiz League, our popular Zoom-based online quiz tournament.
IQL2 ran for 7 weeks between start of April and end of May and contained 24 teams, mostly Irish-based but also including players from the UK, India and US among others.
Unlike most other online quiz leagues, IQL offer cash prizes to the winning teams, and the prize fund this season was over €1,000 in total!
