The sixth season of the Dublin Quiz League kicked off in September 2019. Like the previous season, 21 teams were playing (5 of whom were new), spread across 3 divisions of 7 teams each. A new development this year was the introduction of the solo Brain of Dublin competition, held in parallel from November onwards.
All proceeded as you might expect for a few months until February 2020 — after a certain major world event you may have heard of, all the remaining matches were put on hold during lockdown. In the end, the hiatus lasted for 12 months — due to ongoing uncertainty about when pubs would reopen, the remaining matches were played on Zoom between March and July 2021.
For the second season in a row, we were able to offer over €1,000 in cash prizes – our winners were as follows:
Winning teams
- Division 1 winners: The Rollin’ Estonians (€300 prize)
- Division 1 runners-up: Team Jules (€150)
