5. In Rugby, how many metres must the ball travel from kick-off?  

Explanation

In Rugby, the ball must travel at least 10 meters from kick-off. This is to ensure that both teams have a fair chance to contest for possession of the ball. If the ball does not travel the required distance, it is considered a violation and the opposing team is awarded a scrum at the spot of the kick-off. Therefore, it is crucial for the kicking team to ensure that the ball travels the required distance to avoid giving an advantage to the opposing team.

6. In Field Hockey, what does the referee call if somebody blocks another player from getting to the ball?  

Explanation

In field hockey, the referee calls "obstruction" if somebody blocks another player from getting to the ball. Obstruction refers to any deliberate act of impeding or blocking an opponent's progress towards the ball, without any attempt to play the ball. This is considered a foul in field hockey and results in a free hit or penalty against the player who committed the obstruction.

7. What is the highest score you can achieve in ten-pin-bowling?  

Explanation

In ten-pin bowling, the highest score you can achieve is 300. This is because each frame allows for a maximum of 10 pins to be knocked down. If a player were to bowl a strike in every frame (knocking down all 10 pins on the first ball), they would receive a score of 30 for that frame (10 pins for the strike and 10 pins for each of the two subsequent balls). Therefore, with 10 frames in a game, the maximum score achievable is 300.

Submit
8. In Lacrosse, how many "wings" are on the field for each team?  

Explanation

Each team in Lacrosse has two attack wings and two defensive wings on the field. This ensures that there is an equal balance between offensive and defensive players. The attack wings are responsible for scoring goals and creating offensive plays, while the defensive wings help to protect the goal and prevent the opposing team from scoring. Having two wings in each position allows for better teamwork and coordination on both ends of the field.

10. In Golf, what is the average par for an 18 hole golf course?  

Explanation

The average par for an 18-hole golf course is 72. Par is the number of strokes a skilled golfer is expected to take to complete a hole or a course. Since there are 18 holes in a golf course, the average par is calculated by adding up the pars for all the holes and dividing by the number of holes, which in this case is 18. Therefore, the correct answer is 72.

Submit
