Bhasant! Bhisol Kahaan Hai? (BCQC October Open Quiz) - Report


Date: 21st Oct 2012
Conducted by: Aditya Gadre

Attended by ~10 teams

Format: 17 questions written elims; 2 written rounds; 60 questions on Infinite Rebounds with round reversal half-way; 5-question pounce.

Results:

1st: Team E: Avaneendra Bhargav and Aditya Chandorkar + (Vikram Keskar and Gaurav Keskar): 165 pts
2nd: Team D: Kunal Sawardekar and Ranajeet Soman + (Omkar Dhakephalkar and Mustafa Abbas): 140 pts
3rd: Team B: Salil Bijur and Bharat Marathe + (Chinmay Tadwalkar and Shreyas Jaju): 115 pts

5th: Team C: Vaibhav Bajpai and Anshuman Sharma + (Aniket Deshpande and Mihir Talnikar): 30 pts

There was a low turnout for the quiz so all 10 teams were merged into 5 teams for the finals. Probably due to a late start and paucity of time and also the small number of teams, the QM chose to have only 17 questions for the prelims. This left scope for a lot more consumption of questions per-head in the finals.

Personally, I liked the quiz - there were a good mix of topics with no biases to any one, no memorable peters or obvious sitters. Team E led from the start with Team D close behind. Perhaps the delays in getting the venue stretched the duration leading to members from Team D leaving in between. But young Omkar held the fort and maintained their position. A fun time was had by all.

Please leave your reviews in the comments.

quiz was great fun. It being all visuals, prevented 'young' Omkar from getting bored.

Actually our team (Team D) was leading with 110 points halfway through till Kunal and I left. Kudos to Omkar for keeping the score ticking.
