Captbob61 Mar 20, 2002	Very clever! Nice job! I am a huge sports fan and didn't think of it.
dumbell Aug 24, 2002	does not work in UK unless you state AMERICAN football. Here football IS soccer and still only has 2 halves.
Atropus Feb 15, 2005	I'm not in the UK and I'd have to agree.
chuckelect Mar 07, 2005	great job. really like the sports teasers.
smarty_blondy Sep 14, 2005	I'm not much of a sport's fan but i enjoyed this one. Keep them coming!
converse_chik Oct 23, 2005	i like these, i got it, after a lot of consideration, but i liked it! good job! i took about an hour then i ended up watching a football American* game and got it*
musicmaker21113 Jan 12, 2006	I started out thinking it was likely the number of players on a team...until there were two single player sports! Good one!
keveffect1 Feb 22, 2006	Love this one it was clevver and fun
keveffect1 Feb 22, 2006	er hmmm I meant clever
Brainy_1 Mar 18, 2006	Nice job! The answer made sense after I looked at it!!
tonjawithaj Apr 14, 2006	me too! made sence AFTER I looked!
Unraveled Jun 25, 2006	Not a big sports person, so I didn't get it. A creative way to list them, though. Nice job.
HScott13 Jul 07, 2006	Puzzled by the 3 periods in hockey. It was 2 when I was at school. Having browsed the internet both the International Hockey Federation and USA Field Hockey seem to agree.
HScott13 Jul 08, 2006	Sometime in the early hours of this morning it suddenly occured to me you meant ICE hockey. Please say so in the teaser, otherwise this is another good teaser lost in translation across the Atlantic.
GebbieRose Aug 09, 2006	Totally missed this one. Great teaser!
Thel Dec 25, 2006	Totally missed it too. I started thinking, number of players, then something to do with the balls and then... I thought, what the heck! and looked at the answer. I would never have got it!
bgil7604 Feb 28, 2007	I'm really confused. When you say, "What is it?" it is very hard to tell what it is. I stared at it for about 2 minutes and couldn't figure out what the teaser was asking. After that, I thought the answer was really cool though!
snoopunicorn Mar 11, 2007	haha i thot it was gonna be by intensity......woops
GISTY Mar 16, 2007	My guess was the most played sports!
Jimbo Apr 27, 2007	Good puzzle. Interesting way to link various sports.
