TATA Crucible Quiz @ Navi Mumbai Edition with Prelims Questions by Quiz Reporter Viraj Morabia


                                          I am a #QuizConnect #QuizReporter

As a Quiz Master said once : “I am not looking for William Wordsworth or William Shakespeare in a quiz, so I will ignore spelling mistake however your answer should be visible & not an optical challenge & readable.
Similarly, I am not a regular reporter or a journalist or writer, rather a  #QuizReporter
So ignore the grammar & the sentence formation, I know you guys are more interested in the story of how we won it & the prelims question right…so just enjoy it…

The Navi mumbai round started with a pretty easy set of questions as the turnout of teams was not more than 50.
There was no wild card around.
Cut off for prelims must be  13 and more.

Finals started with my main opponent taking negative and i getting a free hit on it!
But after 2nd question onwards he buzzed almost every question and got it right.
After 1st round scores were like, I am on 60 and he is on 180.

From 2nd round i started pushing buzzers after reading 1 word i know anything distinctly about and that's when i outscored him.

Evey time when i pressed buzzer either i knew ans or invented one.
Meanwhile my opponent was taking rash shots which brought him to near -150.

Pickbrain took a pun on him by saying "Way to come back in game is Keep Going, which may get you few more minuses!" to which every one chuckled.

My partner took some unwanted negatives to make game interesting.

Before 2 questions to spare it was clear that i am going in Western Zonals.
Thank God there was no last question pressure on me.

RESULTS: 
WINNER:ICAI – Viraj Morabia and Apeksh Porwal
