Our first ever Battle of the Giants will take place on twitter, tentatively on Monday the 1st of October. The battle will commence at NINE PM (GMT).
Placings for Battle of the Giants (ie who got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th per question), unlike during the normal Monday Music Quiz, will not be given until the sum totals of them all is done at the very end of the Battle.
Placings for those entering who are not part of the Battle of the Giants will be given as usual after each question.
THE QUESTIONS
The questions for #MondayMusicQuiz and #BOTG will be the same. In other words, anyone can enter as a normal contestant USING ONLY the #MondayMusicQuiz hash tag.
Those entitled to enter the Battle of the Giants (all of whom will be informed PRIOR to the night) will be the ONLY people to use the Battle of the Giants hash tag which is #BOTG
THEME
There will be NO them on the night of Battle of the Giants.
THOSE ENTITLED TO ENTER BATTLE OF THE GIANTS
Those entitled to enter are all those who have won on any week.

MONDAY MUSIC QUIZ ~ HOW TO PLAY
The Monday Music Quiz on twitter takes places each Monday evening at 8.30pm (GMT). It consists of 15 music questions tweeted out in about five minute intervals (with a five minute break after question 8) and those playing should answer as quickly as possible to be placed in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th place for each correct answer. The quiz generally lasts for between 60 and 90 minutes.
Points are gained by being in the top five quickest in with the correct answer:
1st in gets 5 points
2nd in gets 4 points
3rd in gets 3 points
4th in gets 2 points
5th in gets 1 point
The point systems means that even if you are a little late joining in, you can still catch up.
The questions cover all genre of popular music (pop, rock, country, etc.) and all eras of music.
Everyone is welcome to enter and here is how to play:
1. VERY IMPORTANT: use the hash tag (#) #MondayMusicQuiz when answering otherwise we will not see your answer in our timeline and therefore your answer will not count. There is absolutely no need to use the @ (ie @MondayMusicQuiz).
2. If using tweetdeck open a new column entitled #MondayMusicQuiz
3. Answer as quickly as possible to try to get placed in first 5 to gain points on each question. You can google for answers but be warned, that takes time and you may miss getting into first five.
4. Every week there is a THEME. The first player who correctly identifies the theme gains a valuable FIVE points. No comment will be made during the quiz on whether anyone has correctly identified the theme.
5. At the end of the quiz we will announce who was first in with the correct theme and then we will tweet out who came fifth, fourth, third, second, and the winner.
6. At the start of each new month and during MondayMusicQuiz we tweet who the top 2 scorers were in the previous month.
Finally, the quizmistress is ALWAYS right!
