Report

A very low scoring elimination round did not quite portend the high scoring finals. Most of the questions were well appreciated by the finalists and the audience. The quiz was dominated from the outset by Team F who kept answering the dry questions consistently and made full use of their pounces. Team D and C gained points in the visual and theme connects where the winners were found lacking but the Infinite Bounce rounds were good enough to see them through.
A small complaint : 3 or 4 questions in the finals were seen before in quizzes set previously by the same QMs. The QMs should take note not to repeat questions.
