Im not sure how a Seinfeld TD would work without requiring more than rudimentary knowledge about the show. Based on how this one goes, I may consider doing a future TD about questions related to sitcoms.

On the old board, we had several unnumbered TD games that were specialized. There was one in James Bond movies, for example. You can see them in the TD archive thread. So one on Seinfeld would be fine as a seperate game.

it's definitely no less specialized than the recent March Madness one.

This is true. Well, let's see how this one goes and I'll see what could be done for the future.

For the question about series finales, do you mean the highest ratings or the actual number of people who watched?

The first day of this TD is in the books. Thanks to everyone who sent in responses. I noticed some interesting trends.

There are still plenty of singletons on the board.

"interesting trends" and "singletons still available". Guess that means I'll be near the bottom of the pack, as usual.

For 11, which organizations weight classes are you using? WBA? WBC? WBO? IBF? All of them?

Not so fast my friend. It's still early in the game, which is why there are plenty of singletons left.

The major weight classes that I asked for are the same for all the major sanctioning bodies. I'm excluding WBO from this discussion though.

I groaned when I first read the title, as I never watched Seinfeld. But the questions are great, and I even recognized a couple of the definitions from promos and previews. I'll be sending in my answers (guesses) soon. :D

Looking forward to your entry. I hope the title didn't scare a lot of people off as I realize not everyone is a fan. Which is why I tried to only use questions inspired by situations from the show.
