Particularly since I did think that the QMs in *both* quizzes were potentially good, given more exposure and clear feedback.

But fair enough, it wasn't visible on this blog. Next time, I'll try to be more consistent. Actually, am a little more irate than normal because some of the organisers have been around in previous years and most of the points were related to their overall organisation of the event, rather than the questions. I think what I have said about the questions here, I have said earlier as well about some other quizzes, but perhaps as you say, not so much on this blog. And here it's because these guys are better than what they put up.J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-1159802041691507102006-10-02T20:44:00.000+05:302006-10-02T20:44:00.000+05:30The point being, that if you're pitching for stand...The point being, that if you're pitching for standards in quizzing, let them *be* standard.Rishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709726450260929783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-1159801752253811112006-10-02T20:39:00.000+05:302006-10-02T20:39:00.000+05:30IMHO, you're being overly harsh and possibly incon...IMHO, you're being overly harsh and possibly inconsistent.

THE IIT DELHI & IIT CHENNAI EVENTS ARE ALSO WELL ORGANIZED.<BR/><BR/>EARLIER THE MEGA-EVENT USED TO BE THE SHYAM BHATT, WHICH WAS TAKEN OVER BY CHAKRAVYUH & INQUIZITION... BUT SINCE ALL THESE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CARRY ON WITH FULL STEAM, I FEEL THE ONUS IS NOW ON BCQC TO START AN ANNUAL QUIZFEST AKIN TO kqa CALLED THE "BC ANNUAL" WITH SPONSORSHIP, WITH QS CONTRIBUTED BY 3-4 MEMBER CORE GRP OF THE BCQC. THE SPONSORSHIP CAN BE OBTAINED WITH A LITTLE EFFORT, FROM ORGNS LIKE CROSSWORD, BCL, PSPL, ETC.<BR/><BR/>or else another idea is to hold the annual megaevent along with a college quiz & a school quiz on the same day or over two days...now sponsorship is most easily available for schhol quizzes & bizquizzes. so incorporating a school event will invite the moolah & along with it the flagship quiz can be conducted. The NITIE fun-da-mental quiz is a classic example among Pune SCHOOL QUIZZERS which proves the point.<BR/><BR/>ADVERTISING THE QUIZ- Now this is of key importance. Ads must be placed in PUNE NEWSLINE & such like papers, to ensure good attendance. Usually the sponsors carry out that function also as it is a question of mileage for them too.<BR/><BR/>3-4 PPL CONDUCTING THE QUIZ MEANS LESS SKEW TOWARDS A PARTICULAR FIELD OF INTEREST.<BR/><BR/>ANYWAY A POINT TO PONDER...PUNE NEEDS A FLAGSHIP EVENT, which will set an example and something to emulate in their own college quizzes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
