GLADIATRIX'08 - CAMPUS QUIZ REVIEW!

Hi ppl..

Foreword : Sorry for the delay in posting this review!!

Gladiatrix'08... the 1st quiz show to be hosted at the AmphiTheatre after a looooong time(almost after 2-3yrs is what we heard) turned out to be an instant hit! We had more than 50 teams which bet all our expectations!!!

All about the event:
5.30pm... and the Amphi was almost packed to its full capacity! But the prelims didn't start yet.. Why??? Well though we ran a test show the day before the event... and confirmed that the projection from the LCD was visible after 5.30pm... somehow the next day the sun took some more time to set and so.. we had to wait for some time before we could started the prelims.. Technical problems did bother us as well..

The evening started off with Ajay(the man who got us the questions for the very interesting online quiz Q-Factor!) discussing the answers of Q-Factor and declaring the Winners!

6.20pm..
Finally, the prelims started off and the results were out by 6.55pm. The Finals kicked off in style with Round1 - Starters!

7pm... and we had the finalists on stage...
The Finalists were

Team A - Suriya Prakash & Team I MBA
Team B - Sangamoovan & Team II PGDM
Team C - Karthikeyan & Team I MBA
Team D - Ajay & Indra Kumar II MBA
Team E - Anand & Rafi II MBA
Team F - Vasanth&ManojKumar II PGDM

Round1 - Starters
Round2 - Unscramble
Round3 - Connect
Round4 - Formula of Success - Formula Round
Round5 - Audio/Visual

We were forced to cut it down to 5rounds against the actually planned 6rounds for the lack of time.

Team D took the early lead and retained it all through the finals but they were always at vigil as Team E was always following close behind them.
The final round of the show - the AV round was riveting finale to the event.. With cracker of questions and incredible answers both from the finalists and the audience!
Audience kept the show very much alive... all fighting it with their wit for loads of chocolates and gift vouchers!

Final scores
Team A - 15pts,Team B -
25pts,Team C - 30pts,Team D - 65pts,Team E - 52pts,Team F - 28pts

Team F(Ajay & Indra Kumar) were crowned the winners of Gladiatrix'o8. They won themselves gift vowchers worth Rs.2500!!!
Keeping them in good competition all through the way was Team E(Anand&Rafi) - who were the runners-up of the event. They won gift vowchers worth Rs.1000!

Others teams won Gift Vowchers worth Rs.100 each. Audience also won a few Vowchers for their answers!

In all it was a great evening for the students who turned up and most importantly turned out to be great eveing for the legacy of quizzing at PSGIM! For sure.. this is a rebirth!
