	Good catch on the "s" in hurricanes Geowiz. I am still leaving the "tampa bay" one though, the quiz is not supposed to be easy, but it's still correct.

	BTW, this is my first ever quiz, so do you know how I can edit it and add the "s" to Hurricanes?

	If this really bothers you, I will try and change the title if it will fit.

	adamnvillani:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 17:00 GMT	7 points
	Yeah, the fix is to change the wording of the question, not eliminate the teams named after a body of water.

	WadeGarrett:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 17:05 GMT	13 points
	I think a more appropriate title would be "teams not named for their city or state," or something along those lines. Great idea for a quiz.

	Ok, it's been done.

	@firelord: Utah is a state. @JoeCoolMan24: under the current title "Pro Teams Not Named After a City/State", you missed an MLB team that qualifies: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They're not named after a city; they're named after two cities. (If you know how, maybe it should be a 'bonus' answer.)

	@Beerslayer. I have been asking this question for the past week or so to co-workers and friends. I had included the LA Angeles in the answers, but everyone said that was stupid and should not count, so I threw it out so there would be no trickery.

	@firelordcraig: If you don't know that Utah is a state, well, i don't know what to say

	beerslayer:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 21:36 GMT	0 points
	@JCM24: Understood. Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to include a bonus answer in a quiz - if you know how or can figure it out, that might be a good compromise. That way, people like me who actually typed it in could get some satisfaction for our trouble... :)

	@beerslayer It tells you how to do bonus answers in the Game Creation FAQ in the Create tab. It is done by putting "ee" in the hint column.

	@Rave The Washington that those teams play in is most definitely a city, not to mention the fact that you forgot one of the teams that plays in Washington.

	Tampa Bay is the name of the bay. Tampa is the name of the city.

	lol, so I change the name from "City/State in the name" because people complained about Tampa Bay. So now I changed it to "Named after a City/State" and people complain about Golden State. People need to stop analyzing this thing so much. It's just a quiz. You do not lose money if you don't get all 7, there is no prize.

	teh_DR:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 04:10 GMT	4 points
	Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this quiz. It's a good quiz.

	mcbain:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 05:56 GMT	14 points
	I wonder why it became trendy to call teams Tampa Bay _____. It would be great if all teams did this though. I can't wait until the Hudson River Mets play the Pacific Ocean Dodgers!

	@mcbain, it would be more like the Flushing Bay Mets, but that doesn't really have much of a ring to it.

	Why is this seven minutes long? One or two at the most.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 18:39 GMT	7 points
	Washington is the name of the only city in the District of Columbia. Saying Washington, DC is like saying Austin, TX. The city is in the area, but the city is still just Washington.

	TerryM:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 04:16 GMT	5 points
	Fun quiz, but you definitely don't need 7 minutes. I'd say one minute is a challenge (it took me about 50 seconds, but I could see forgetting a couple) and two minutes is plenty.

	kenechi:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 18:19 GMT	3 points
	great quiz!

	Linvillin:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 19:42 GMT	3 points
	@bambam Green bay is the name of the city; thus the difference

	JoeCoolMan24:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 03:33 GMT	2 points
	Per suggestion, I will change the time to 3 minutes. The reason I put the time at 7 was because when I asked everyone in person, it took them about 10 minutes, but then again, they were doing other things at the same time. 3 minutes should be fair, given that not many people are getting all 7 correct even with 7 minutes.

	Florida is only the 3rd most populated state in the US (behind California and Texas). If it weren't for the Capitals, I'd consider putting every Washington team on this quiz, because I have a hard time calling the Redskins, Wizards, and Nationals as "pro" teams.
