	Wow, great quiz and an excellent idea, I'm almost surprised I haven't seen this done before. Although I'll be honest, being from Toronto, the first thing I thought of for "ACC" was "Air Canada Centre" (technically it works...right?)

	I'm too much of a baseball fan,as soon as I saw AFL I typed in Arizona Fall League and was actually surprised when it didnt come up....anyone else do that? nope just me? figured that

	pita:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 14:30 GMT	7 points
	Just you drza. I typed in American Football League. I think that ought to be accepted as well as the intended answer.

	pita:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 14:31 GMT	30 points
	And it's hard to accept WPT as a "Sports" acronym. One could argue the same for WWE.

	tarzanpresley:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 14:34 GMT	-3 points
	LBW, EPL, ICC, RWC, NRL... Kudos for accepting Aussie rules for AFL, but a global perspective would be nice.

	@homoerectus69 http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=291104110&teams=philadelphia-phillies-vs-new-york-yankees look at the box score

	Can you accept south eastern conference for SEC? I know it should be all one word, but the fact that there are 3 initials almost calls for that answer.

	Sporctastic:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 23:13 GMT	7 points
	Excellent idea, so frustrating though with the golfers and bowlers and such. But you shouldn't accept any alternate answers, that's the way it is. 5 glowing orbs and nomination.

	Yeah, the wording of the PBA and PGA was tough, but there's only one exact answer so I can understand that. The FBS I failed at too...it will always be I-AA!

	nope, NBA is in there

	OrangeHatBobcat:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 03:04 GMT	4 points
	NIT is an acronym for National INVITATION Tournament, not National INVITATIONAL Tournament. Check the official tournament Web site, logo, news stories ... just about anything. It makes little sense, but that it what it means.

	kraffcook:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 05:19 GMT	-3 points
	For PBA and PGA, I kept putting "Bowling" and "Golfing". Totally threw me off

	kraffcook:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 05:20 GMT	9 points
	and PPG, i kept trying "Points per game"

	ChinaWhite:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 07:59 GMT	1 point
	@Orange....... Its national invitational tournament..... The only site that has it as "Invitation" is wikipedia..... guess we know where your info comes from.

	y2jdilemma:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 09:08 GMT	11 points
	I alway thought NIT stood for Not In Tournament. HAHA. Nice quiz.

	jayrodss7:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT	4 points
	@kraffcook I have points per game as an acceptable answer

	Fidelio:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	@ChinaWhite - Check the NIT.org website...it says "National Invitation Tournament" all over it.

	If poker is being accepted as sport, then billiards should be as well. Thus, PBA can easily stand for the Professional Billiard Association.

	stfox:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 16:56 GMT	9 points
	I also thought PPG stood for points per game

	homoerectus69:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 18:09 GMT	7 points
	if these are sports acronyms, whats world poker tour doing on here?

	Hooby:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:18 GMT	9 points
	poker = not a sport

	Asian:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:37 GMT	4 points
	Some of these acronyms can have 2 meanings. Yeah, and poker isn't a sport. I mean, c'mon

	bsd987:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 19:55 GMT	1 point
	Asian Football Confederation, Gaelic Athletic Association

	jayrodss7:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 20:09 GMT	2 points
	I added some alternate answers. Regarding poker/billards, you could argue that anything shown on ESPN could be considered a sport. But I thought it would give the quiz more variety and make it a little more difficult.

	ElDavo:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 20:59 GMT	6 points
	Wow, I didn't know poker was a sport...

	Golden:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 22:17 GMT	-1 points
	Please accept 'World Boxing Organisation' with an s

	javit27:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	-1 points
	gets a little repetitive with all the obvious ones (NFL, NFC, AFC, NHL...) Maybe take some out.

	lftyg33:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 01:12 GMT	-1 points
	please accept arizona fall league for afl (especially since the arena football league barely exists anymore)

	brianc:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 08:07 GMT	6 points
	@bigdog actually FBS is division I-A, I-AA is the FCS (football championship subdivision)

	Podsednik:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 16:36 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz, great idea. (and thanks for dealing with all these alternate answers!)

	nymets18:	Jan 18th, 2010 at 17:26 GMT	-3 points
	MLB = middle linebacker

	davebesag:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 01:15 GMT	-4 points
	I can't understand why the original Gaelic Athletic Association suggestion was marked down? It's the only GAA I've ever heard about.

	alpha:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 14:49 GMT	1 point
	MLL? seriously?

	JohnJF:	Feb 21st, 2010 at 22:01 GMT	3 points
	If you want to give some international flavor, EPL should be a reasonable one for Americans to get.

	kbaker1819:	Feb 22nd, 2010 at 14:07 GMT	7 points
	seriously, nymets18, the first thing you think of when you see MLB is middle linebacker, when your screen name is a baseball team....
