Like so many events this year, the 2020 World Quizzing Championships fell victim to COVID-19. Public health concerns meant the event could not take place on its traditional date, the first Saturday in June. Six months on, the event will finally be held on Saturday next, December 5th.

Unsurprisingly this year’s event will be a little different as it will be carried out online. The IQO is one of the organisations hosting an online heat for the event.
