The finals started in a dramatic style with IIIT team (Satwik &Mrinal) took 75 points.This year the Tata came up with an interesting format as all the questions were on buzzer.After taking 75 ,the IIIT duo took some negatives and negate their score.Then the buzzer buzzed very fast .Then with some stunning answers the defending champion Omkar with his partner Abhinav Dhar started their journey .This time the journey was not too smooth because they scored in spree but then took some negative and but they managed to gain the lead from the other teams on the stage.
The team from XIMB with seasoned quizzer Kalpit cracked some awesome questions when they are about to pass to the audience.The team from College of Veterinary Science ,Dr.Rashmi(yours truly) with his partner Dr.Sangram played the game cautiously and scored in intervals the duo game some stunning answers and didnt take any negative through out the quiz.
According to the the ace QM Giri Balasubramanium this final is one of the nail bitting finals ever in the BBhubaneswar history of TCQ with last two Qns remaining of the quiz ,Omkar was leading on 225,Rashmi on 185 and not too far from him Satwik on 110.The penultimate qn was of 75 points and Omkar hit the buzzer and the entire room turned into sience waiting for Giri's response whether the Bhubaneswar Finals was over or not,the defending champion took negative and came down to 155.With one Qn left anyone could have won from that position with the final Qn coming up the defending champion outwit others on buzzer and won the quiz .
Team Rashmi came 2nd.
The nail biting finish witnessed by the entire audience responded with a huge round of applause.
That's all about the Crucible Bhubaneswar 2015...
