respective sports, and it a complete coincidence that their nicknames SOUND the
same.

of sportsperson X can be obtained by prefixing just one letter to Y’s name)

Historically, Tottenham Hotspurs has been associated with this community since at least the 1920s. It was once claimed
that all people from this community who attended football matches in the 1920s were Spurs supporters. A famous chant
goes
We sang it in France,
We sang it in Spain,
We sing in the sun and we sing in the rain,
They tried to stop us, but look what it did,
Cos the thing I love most is being a X.
Being a X, being a X,
The thing I love most is being a X.
with X being a slur for the community, but adopted in defiance by Spurs supporters as a badge of honour. X has been so
commonly associated with Tottenham that the Oxford Dictionary extended the definition of X to “a supporter of THFC”.

Q4
The X (6,7) were a collection of Catholic priests who formed a comedic hockey team
that toured North America for several decades.
In simple terms, X were for hockey what Y are for basketball, except that the former
existed for charity rather than profit, and the gags tended to have more religious
aspects.
Like the Y, the X were nearly unbeatable, winning around 900 games to only a handful
of losses. But after 4 decades of fun, they were finally disbanded in 2009.
X has an alliterative name which is true to their ‘patriarchal’ roots while Y is a well
known exhibition team.

The term X first originated in the card game Bridge, referring to a player winning
every trick. It carried over into baseball because it refers to a team scoring as many
runs as possible in one at-bat. It’s most popularly used in an altogether different
sport describing a certain set.
The term, in this sport, was first used by the American journalist John Kieran, when
describing the attempt that year by player Jack Crawford to win all Xs, comparing it
with "a countered and vulnerable X in bridge".

The Oakland Athletics under owner John Fisher have suffered a lot, with fans claiming
that the owner has never made an effort to invest in the team and is hardly bothered by
the onfield success of the team which has a historically loyal fanbase largely based in
the Oakland area.
Earlier this year, the A's fans decided to show their displeasure to the ownership who
have decided to shift base to Las Vegas (like the erstwhile Raiders) from their historic
Coliseum, by giving a twist to an age old method of protest. Unimpressed by this, the
owner justified his decision by saying, "I do not like this outcome. I understand why the
fans feel the way they do. I think that the real question is, what is it that Oakland was
prepared to do? It’s great to see what is, this year, almost an average MLB ______ for one
night." Fisher said to The Athletic.
What 'innovative' method did the A's fans use to show
their discontentment?

different world cups.
X prevailed in both the games, pipping Y marginally in one game and convincingly in
the other.

Fed up of the high draw percentages, and to motivate players to go for the win,
some chess tournaments have taken inspiration from football. These tournaments
have adopted what is called the “Football System”, thanks to the fact that it has
widely been adopted in football leagues around the world.
In this system, players are given an added incentive to win games and have seen
some success as well, with win percentages going up significantly.
This system was also originally introduced in football to incentivise wins, and was
adopted formally by FIFA in 1995.
What system?

Q15
Give X, the 2018 record and the adoption.
X is an American former tennis player, who was ranked as high as No. 8 in singles
and retired recently, with this year’s US Open being his last tournament.
As a result of his impressive height, he was considered to be one of the best servers
on tour because of which he won a great majority of his service games.
Simultaneously, his limited movement made it difficult to break the opponent's
serve. This resulted in sets with each player holding their serves until the tiebreak.
Due to this his matches tended to be ____: indeed, he played in two record-breaking
matches, one in the 2010 and the other in the 2018 Wimbledon. In large part due to

Q16
Give X and in what role will Indian fans see him next summer?
One of the greatest Tests of all time was played out in Adelaide in 1993 between an
Australia team on the rise and a West Indian team in apparent decline.
Set just 186 to win Australia were reduced to 74-7 by the fiery pace of Ambrose and
Walsh. But debutant X and No 10 Tim May dug in but couldn’t take their side home,
as West Indies won by only one run. But X’s gritty innings drew admiration and he
went on to become an important part of the great Australian team of the late 90s
and the early 2000s.
X regularly features in commentary stints, and was also sacked as head coach late
last year after a successful, yet controversial stint.

While recalling Pele’s goal in the 1970 world cup against Czechoslovakia, a Guardian
reporter writes, “people reacted like he had unveiled the first ever jetpack or
introduced the world to the concept of the selfie”. Even though such goals are still
rare, they used to be rarer pre-1990s as the balls used to be very heavy.
One of the most famous examples of this goal is Beckham’s iconic goal for United
on the first day of the 1996-97 season. “A goal that will be talked about and replayed
for years” said the on-air commentators when Beckham scored this goal; a goal
which catapulted Beckham to limelight and was mentioned prominently in his
documentary also.
Who did Beckham score this goal against, and what
type of goal is being talked about?

popularity.
The logo of the tournament changes every year, and is determined by something
which serves as a symbol of the tournaments’ legacy and history. How is the logo
decided upon each year/ give funda?

continents and 6 countries.
