These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-30,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days (from the first posting).
All questions were written by members of MI5, and are used here by
permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped
and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 6 - Sports
* Triple Crown in Baseball
If the same player leads one of the major baseball leagues in home
runs, runs batted in, and batting average, all in the same year,
it is called a Triple Crown. We'll give the specifics for some
Triple Crown winners; you name the respective players.
1. Baltimore Orioles, 1966, right field, 49 HR, 122 RBI, .316 avg.
2. Boston Red Sox, 1967, left field, 44 HR, 121 RBI, .326 avg.
3. Detroit Tigers, 2012, third base, 44 HR, 139 RBI, .330 avg.
* The World Cup of Cricket
The World Cup of Cricket takes place every 4 years. The final of
the tournament just ended was played on March 28.
4. That tournament was held in which *two* countries?
5. Who was the defending champion, the winner in 2011?
6. This tournament uses the one-day international format. So how
many overs does each team play in a game?
* NHL Classic Nicknames
We'll name an NHL player (all are Montreal players, in fact);
you give us his classic nickname.
7. Nels Stewart.
8. Georges Vézina.
9. Howie Morenz.
* Grand Prix Racetracks
Name the country that each of these Grand Prix racetracks is in.
10. Sepang.
11. Interlagos.
12. Monza.
* Number of Players
How many players from each team are on the field at a time in...
13. Canadian football?
14. Rugby League?
15. Australian rules football?

It doesn't really make sense to use "play" in the question. Each side is scheduled to bat for 50 overs, but since the other side is therefore bowling and fielding for those 50 overs they are also "playing". And teams not infrequently bat for fewer than 50 overs, e.g. if there is a rain delay or the team batting second reaches their target earlier.
