Crucible Quiz

[crucible77]

With the 2010 World Championship just weeks away I thought I would do a crucible quiz.

I will ask one question at a time, with a point for the member who answers correctly. The member with the most points the day after the 2010 championship's is the winner!

Question 1-What is the name of the man who brought the Worlds to the Crucible in 1977
