Having started my quizzing ages ago when this concept did not exist, I understand the need for the pounce system, but always find it distracting. At times, it detracts somewhat from the joy of enjoying the quiz itself. So QMs, admins, decision-makers: please try and standardise to get a fair, equitable and enjoyable pounce system?Ajai Ragdenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-67885297066990327202015-03-23T23:40:30.407+05:302015-03-23T23:40:30.407+05:30Will the InFest 2014-15 Questions ever get posted ...Will the InFest 2014-15 Questions ever get posted ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-58432701331887473362015-03-23T22:51:06.202+05:302015-03-23T22:51:06.202+05:30"The only negative was the 15 pt pounce scori..."The only negative was the 15 pt pounce scoring where the team could not pounce on their own question"<br /><br />I would also add the whole 'get one pounce wrong and you don't get any more pounces for a whole two rounds' thing. We got our pounce wrong on the first question, and didn't get to pounce for half the quiz. If, instead, there had been a simple 10 point neg for getting the pounce wrong, we would have finished 35 points ahead of where we did, which is no small matter in a quiz where the winning team scored 115. I admit I'm generally not a fan of one-finite pounce, but this was a little too far over the top.<br /><br />Apart from that, loved the quiz. The coverage of the topics was good, and it was really fun to take part in an accessible and workable biz quiz for once.Kunalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145197090585110100noreply@blogger.com
