Notes:
Brief comments:
* liked the elims v much - good mix of gettable and tough ones
* finals: were mostly good; occasional involved and 'nefarious' connect that could have been better, simplified or avoided
* simple format, length of quiz was good, quizmastering was good, audience prizes were adequate
* was nice to see two AFMC teams (all first years) on stage in an open quiz after a long while; a mini-revival is in store?

kudos to SALIL-the quiz was excellent....the prelims enjoyable...the finals had some amazing questions nd was very informative
thanks for the info, updated!
Well done, with some decent QMing. I liked nearly all the questions. Nice way to end the elims with that Tagore 'Where the Hell is Matt' song.
Nice touch with the background music for the QM at the start of the elims and finals. Went with his attire.
Really think the final should be held on stage than in the first two rows. It's about time!
Really tardy of me to add my 2 bits this late, but what the heck. So here goes...
1. Excellent set put together by Salil, Elims as well as Finals. Loved the "Who was the 1st President of the Soviet Union" googly! :)
2. Nice job with the QM-ing as well - just enough firmness but not too pushy.
3. QOM seems to be keeping the flag flying with the same zest every passing year - reasonably time-bound, good venue, et al. Now if they'd only give those prizes on the spot... :)
