Some unsolicited advice:
1. Add new data by association with what you already know. That could be shared years, linked names, etc.
Even a loose affiliation is more easily recalled than none at all.
2. Take small bites. Too much new info is less likely to be assimilated.
3. Remember. Trivia is like the joke about the bear and the hikers in the woods. You don't have to know everything. You only have to know more than everybody else...
PS. Which rundle are you in?
Thanks, spotes!
I'm in E Coastal Div 2. Currently in 5th place, hanging onto the slippery edge of the boat by my bloodied fingernails, as #6 and #7 agitate the waters beneath me, smelling chum. And #8, #9, and #10 are circling just behind them. I have two more days to hang on to 5th in order to get promoted to the D rundle.
This is my third season. My second season I nearly doubled my TCA from my first and I've improved again this season. My QPct is 30% higher than last season. My rookie season, I never got more than (2), last season I never got more than (3), and this season I've gotten a (5). My rookie season, I only got one 3-pointer. Last season I got four and so far I have eight. So I AM improving.
I had one forfeit early on because I was switching between day shift and night shift and traveling and slept past BOTH of my Learned League phone alarms. I've been kicking myself for it since, but if I don't hang on to 5th place because of that one point, it's OK, because I don't deserve it, anyway. Nine players below me have a higher TCA.
If I keep improving every season, maybe, just maybe, I'll live long enough to get to the A rundle. But I'd probably have to start eating right and exercising because I'm already 39.
I've been watching your amazing performance this season. You're unbelievable.
