Good Luck with this, I'm not really into sports so my "On This Day" quizzes don't feature many sports questions.
I've no objection to you making these but if you're going to do it then you have to do it properly! Start on January 1st and do the whole year releasing each days quiz on that particular day
Once again Good Luck and if you need inspiration, have a look HERE
Edited to add....just realised this is the 3rd one on the run you've made..Keep at it only 362 days to go !
I’ve played your quizzes pretty much every day for the last month or so, and I seriously respect the grind. A quiz a day for a whole year is insane, and I thought I would try it out during this quarantine. I’m a huge sports fan and I found this as an opportunity to learn a little about sports everyday as well.
