The View From Lower Down

Congratulations! Most of you correctly guessed that this year's theme  CNSN NTS NLY Was CONSONANTS ONLY  The quiz starts tomorrow, and every week day a clue will be sent that is the name of a Christmas movie with the vowels removed. For anyone who watches Only Connect, this is the same rules as the final round of that show. WARNING: RULE CHANGE ALERT! In previous years, the scoring system has been that the first team to answer correctly will score 150 points, the second correct answer will score 140 points and so on. However, due to popular demand, the points system has been adjusted and this time points will be awarded based on time.  Any correct answers submitted 11:00-11:29 will score 150 points; correct answers submitted 11:30-11:59 will score 140 points and so on. I am aware that this might lead to a tie at the end of the quiz, but fear not, I have planned a tiebreaker round for the eventuality. Have any questions about the new scoring system?

The good news is, you can still sign up, although you may find it harder to catch up. The first day you sign up, you may receive the clue late, but your  score will be adjusted to reflect this (eg, if I send you the first clue at 13:00, you can get the maximum points by answering before 13:29).
