Reviews

Part 2

College= Acharya Narendra Dev College,Kalkaji
Organizers= College students and teachers
Date=21st December 2007

Got to know of this quiz in on the morning of the 21st when I went to Motilal Nehru College..which was a separate fiasco altogether that day...Detailed posts already written:-)
Big bucks.Expected Biz Bigwigs were there.Still managed to rush and take the prelims alone while Udit aaraam se waltzed in just as the prelims were over:-).Organizers were nice and courteous delaying the quiz by half an hour.Seemed that it might be nice.Sponsored by Metlife. So money was decently big.Total=10K

Now this is where it started to go downhill for the seasoned good quizzers,Business quizzers and bright for us,the new kids on the block:-).Despite being widely publicized(where I don't know though),there were questions to normailze the Business Quiz in the prelims.The prelims were MCQ and true and False type.Big thumbs Down.Was despised big time by the crowd who specially came for this---CBS people and some other grown up people.

We topped the prelims and won the quiz.:-) The quiz was conducted in a very organized manner but it had too many letdowns/problems.

1.Most teams who made it were tukkabaaz waaley:-) I won't say I exclude myself from that:-)..But we managed to hit everything(nearly) in the quiz later.Reasons explained as we continue.A word of appreciation to the audience including Rishabh,Lohit-CBS,Bhatta and Sayeed..who mananged to garner a lot of audience prizes.Bravo!
2.The prelims had questions on sports.The format was poor.this was not a "Business Quiz".I would be complaining if I hadn't gotten everything.
3.The finals...dry questions were directly lifted from the first 10 results (say) when you type Business Quiz on Google.There was a time when Rishabh+Lohit(CBS) and us on stage were predicting the next question that would be asked.90% of the time we were right.All very good questions but lifted.
4.In the prelims.No weightage given to B-Questions and in the finals if a team was surging ahead...when scoring in the early rounds where 20,10,5 points.Here again to normalize it bonus points of the order of 50 and 100 points were awarded if you answered the 2-3 questions on the trot.
