The 30 Second Mystery 44 - Where?
 
There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions asking for help or hints are allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

Wild guesses and comments are fine. In fact, they can add to the mystery and are fun to read.

The Case:
People from around the world attend a series of sporting events, even though they know who will win. The players claim the game is not rigged and the score does vary, but the outcome is always the same.

The Mystery:
Where is the winning team from and what is the sport?

Harlem, basketball.

PorscheBunny 01-30-2004 05:43 AM

except that there is the occasional dumbass team that doesn't know they're supposed to lose to the Globetrotters, so the Globetrotters HAVE lost before. The outcome wouldn't always be the same.

Same thing with bullfighting - occasionally the bull wins ;)

Order_of_Monkey 01-30-2004 09:45 AM

right i forgot they Globetrotters do lose

The score changes. So. . .Torch 1, Runner 0 would seem to indicate a very bad thing ;)

Ripsaw 01-30-2004 11:05 AM

Yes, but marathons are scored by time...

Redlemon 01-30-2004 12:03 PM

winning team: Earth
sport: Miss Universe

/why doesn't the chick from Venus ever win?

lyxo 01-30-2004 12:52 PM

Special olympics, United States

I hope Peetster's OK, this is a very long 30 seconds. He hasn't posted anywhere since he started this thread. Be well!

triad 01-30-2004 09:14 PM

I'm guessing either criquet or curling... Everyone loses b/c of bordom...

You could also say womens volleyball, b/c the men always win out, haha

The winning team is from wherever you want it to be, and the sport is love.

n0nsensical 01-31-2004 01:09 AM

bigbad 01-31-2004 02:20 AM

The Running Man! The team is the hunters from the network, who never lose.

(From the book, not the lame movie).

ChickenNinja 01-31-2004 07:53 PM

The "North," Civil War Reenactments

Corneo 01-31-2004 10:53 PM

Wrestling!

scansinboy 01-31-2004 11:55 PM

Fishing tournament. Although that would be pretty cool to see the fish win once or twice.

mokle 02-01-2004 12:05 AM

Peetster, do you make these yourself, or get them from elsewhere?
