Last year, from what I've heard, there was quite a bit of it, and a lot of Modern teams made the final, and there were 2 in the top 3 (1st and 3rd). This time the teachers felt it would be better if the personally oversaw the elims. About the elims questions, apart from my 4, I have no idea of the source, though I suspect it's a quizzing website like funtrivia.com.Yash Marathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232867191040778189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-52284475623901642902008-03-01T23:23:00.000+05:302008-03-01T23:23:00.000+05:30Yash, I liked your questions quite a bit but there...Yash, I liked your questions quite a bit but there were lots of questions that had been done before. It was a good effort for your first-ever quiz. your co-quizmaster set terrible questions. In the elims, the first 7-odd questions had the year '2007' mentioned somewhere or the other. It seemed like his only source was a magazine which was reviewing the events of 2007.<BR/><BR/>Another point you must tell your co-quizmaster was that while giving the elims, we were treated like we were giving board exams (teachers invigilating etc)... make sure this doesn't happen when you are in charge (next year, hopefully? :) )<BR/><BR/>MaitreyiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-80895000995538283732008-02-27T22:16:00.000+05:302008-02-27T22:16:00.000+05:30Some were indeed.

He did though and I had to rush home 1 hour before the quiz and replace the 4 offending questions. And sometimes Copy-Paste has no alternative, especially if you're using actual quotes. But I'll try harder next time, appreciate the advice.Yash Marathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232867191040778189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-92080731320278757242008-02-27T19:19:00.000+05:302008-02-27T19:19:00.000+05:30Based on what I've seen of the questions, some of ...Based on what I've seen of the questions, some of them seemed nice. Although, to the naked eye, some seemed to be ctrl-c-ctrl-v from wikipedia or web sources. Yash: would like some moulding of content in your own words the next time, if my observation is indeed correct.J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-70448150771067999692008-02-27T13:24:00.000+05:302008-02-27T13:24:00.000+05:30My apologies for late start, unfortunately that wa...My apologies for late start, unfortunately that was not in my hands. We were scheduled to start at 10:30, but the other QM didn't show up until 11 (his name is Radheya Kahat in case you need it).<BR/><BR/>Since I haven't been to nearly as many quizzes as I should, I don't know which questions were chestnuts and which weren't, I tried not to include ones which I knew definitely were.<BR/><BR/>In any case, apart from 1 or 2, I didn't want to set questions which nobody would get, as it would have made for a boring quiz with all teams stuck on 20.Yash Marathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232867191040778189noreply@blogger.com
