Hello members
Tomorrow is the first of the series of quizzes that QQC has planned
out. These quizzes will be conducted by a new student every week who
can also participate when he/she is not conducting it.(You read that
right,I'm quite optimistic about girls coming out and participating
too!)
Its a sincere request to all of you to come out and support this
initiative by participating in large numbers. It is also a great way
to improve our quizzing standards and i'm sure the results will show
when we go and participate in quizzes in other colleges.

Hello all. 

Mighty happy about the first quiz that happened today. Although we did face problems with the DLP and getting the laptop to sync with it, I think for a start, we did great. Im sure we are only going to go forward from here. 

Thanks to everyone who came for the prelims. The finals are tomorrow, and I hope Abhilash has some rippers lined up for us. Even if you havent made it to the final round, just bring a notepad, a pencil and your enthu to the 6th floor. 

Tomorrow, we will also be announcing the dates and other relevant info for our next quiz. I also propose to discuss some of the logistics involved with streamlining our processes, if Abhilash would be able to make time for it. 

Hope to see you tomorrow

Cheers,

Anand

Hello all. 

We had a great final to the India Quiz hosted by Abhilash. So, first of all, we should congratulate him for his initiative to kick off proceedings for QQC. Nice questions too. A welcome relief from the bullshit we are bombarded with at most quizzes (Read UTPT and the MSR Quiz fest). 

Being the first quiz, we managed to learn a lot in the past two days. 

1. Always over-estimate the time you might take to set up. Murphy beams down on rookies like us... the delays due to the projector, software problems et al. We should address these problems by the time Sriram and CM come up with the next quiz. 

2. Power in PESIT is a bummer. So, I suppose, wherever practically possible, we keep laptops ready and fully charged. (17" monitors and awesome sound are an added bonus). 

3. Only people interested in quizzing must be allowed to attend. Its a shame that the toppers of the prelims went absconding today. Although the team that replaced them was quite superb and finished second. It is not fair to get people running around looking for you. Abhilash deserves an apology, if they intend on getting their life-bans revoked!  

4. Please try and market our quizzes to everyone in your respective departments. The more the merrier. The turn-out for the prelims was impressive. We need to start growing, and nothing works like word of mouth. 

5. We should probably think of creating a more robust online presence. If any of you are any good at handling psp or asp platforms, please lend your skill. We could also create a resource center of all our questions. 

6. We could explore the possibility of getting certificates printed, for these quizzes. Im sure it would play a major role in bringing in more people to attend them. 

Quizzes at BMS, the IEEE Quiz and the weekly QQC Sports Quiz are up next. Please attend, and good luck. 

Cheers,

Anand

Hey Guys.

First things first.

Kudos to Abhilash on a cracking finals. The Fair Play concept was pure genius.

Secondly, I agree with Anand on all counts. Laptops, Life-bans, Laws of Murphy et al.

Plus, we need QQC members stepping up to host the forthcoming quizzes. Next week is being handled by Sriram and CM. We need volunteers for the weeks after that.

Hope to see you all at the IEEE and Sports quiz!

Cheers!

Varun.

P.s. Has the AT issue been resolved yet?

Hey fellows
I know i'm a bit late in posting the details of our first ever quiz-
club activity of the semester(read India Quiz).It went off well
barring a few problems which anand has mentioned(and saved my time)!
Thanx to everyone who helped in organizing the event.We had 26 teams
coming in for the prelims.Hopefully it will be more than this in the
next quiz.
The members of the TE department have greatly encouraged this QQC
initiative and we are greatly thankful to them.
@Anand: Thanks for your complements! Lets not get carried away with
this.RVCE(UTPT) and MSRIT have their own brand of quizzing which are
unique and good in their own way.Lets give them credit for the
enthusiasm and fun they bring into quizzing.
@Varun:Thanks for your complements too!The fair-play was first used in
our college by Raveesh(in EC-Forum 2009).So all thanks to him.I must
also say Christ University also use Fair-play in their Sat Afternoon
quizzes.So thanks to them as well.
We had a decent audience at the finals.I was hoping many others would
turn up.
The teams that qualified for finals were: Shashank&Susheel,Neerav&his
partner(sorry i forgot his
name),Anand&Varun,Rahul&Sachin,Suhas&Shobith(sorry if i got the name
wrong) and Srivatsa&his partner(sorry i forgot his name also!).
Two other teams-Abhishek&Ashilesh(or whoever) and Rituraj&nicku
nayak(or whoever) had qualified but did not bother to attend the
finals.These two teams are banned from attending weekly quizzes
organized by QQC.Its such a shame that these 4 fellows showed no
respect to the initiative.To all the other teams that dint qualify for
finals:I sincerely hope you fellows would stay back for the finals
from next time.
In the end,Anand&Varun finished top followed by Suhas&Shobith.All the
teams performed well enough and thanx everyone for being such a superb
audience!
Details of next quiz will be posted ASAP.
