I would be eternally grateful!

Hi Dr Pop! How many questions are you looking for? Have you got enough now?

In Rubber Bridge you score 500 points if you win the rubber by 2 games to 1. How many points would you score for winning by 2 games to 0 ? 700.

Hi kettledrum - many thanks for your help. I will tell you the format of the quiz. I have rounds titled current affairs, anagram, music, blockbuster, entertainment,sport and a link (all of these are six questions long)as well as a picture round. I then have a final round that is trivia based and can be about anything (this is 8 questions long and most questions are multiple answers e.g. What are the five first names of the McCann family, currently embroiled in the missing child case in Portugal)
The rounds such as Sport should be easy enough to fill (Indy 500, only footballer to make 500 Premiership appearances etc) and the music is simply going to include the names of some of the people who have come to the quiz the past ten years or so in the titles of nthe songs. The Link and blockbuster (all answers beginning with same letter) are going to be much trickier so I am trying to gather as many questions as poss and then sort them into a quiz. I love stuff like the binary for 500 and bookmakers slang for money amounts

Thanks for telling me the format, Dr Pop. I'm not sure that many of my suggestions fit into your categories, but if anything else occurs to me I'll post it here.
