2006 Geography Cup
A new website has been set up that aims to see who is better at geography - the US or the UK. So far the UK is in the lead. I tried registering but for some reason the site thinks that I am not in the UK. Yahoo! has more about the contest.
when i try to register it tells me i live out side the us and uk hmm someone dosnt want me to take part in this.

It is a shame that the few intelligent Americans, myself included, are stereotyped along with every stupid American who thinks New York City is in Pennsylvania. I guess all I can do is put my national geography bee knowledge to work. And yes, I am a kid.

I had same problem- it didn't realise Inverness was in UK. But i emailed the organisers and eventually they sorted it out and now I'm playing and gaining points for team UK.
