An Advance Invite...
Right. My "college" (alright, it's Amity :( Must You Mock Me??!!!!) is going to have a fest called ACT '07 sometime in Feb or March. I instantly went to the cultural committee (the announcement of the fest made me realize that there's a cultural committee in my "college"!) and demanded that I organize the quiz. The reply was, "Yeah, sure. We originally weren't even planning to have a quiz!". So, I hereby invite you'll to the ACT '07 Quiz, being organized by yours truly.
And here are my assurances:
1. I'll try to make it better than the sad affairs I've had to tolerate so far (except InnoVision, that was good; except for the last-minute, "oh-sorry, we forget to tell you, there are no prizes for second place" - you think this is frickin' Top Gun?! But the quiz was good). If it isn't, hey! At least it'll be better than DU*!
2. Absolutely NO rigging of the qualifying or final round. The audience prizes will be rigged to a tiny extent, however.
3. Seeing that we are soundly backed by an Interpol-wanted millionaire and are next-campus neighbors to Perot Systems and HCL, I hope that there will be good financial remunerations for ALL finalists (a KQA trend that has sadly, not caught up here)
4. Definite questions on the following topics: 1.HHGG 2.Sci-Tech 3.Tolkein 4.Alternative Rock 5.The Simpsons 6.Football 7.Wodehouse
5. No lame connection questions. There will be a connection round where the answers of the round will have a connect, not a round full of connects.
Right-o. Hope to see you guys there, suggestions and feedback are always welcome.

Best of Luck with your quiz.
Were you at the Gargi Quiz(organised by PT - Will they never go away?) on Friday?
If not, you missed something special - 'Which year has been chosen as the new index for inflation?', and other gems.
Anyway, there seem to be a lot of quizzes this week, I've posted a forwarded list the nsit-qc blog, if I'm missing any pls leave a comment.
You seem to have been to a lot of DU quizzes, any thoughts on which ones are ditchworthy ?

Haven't been to Gargi...thankfully.
My DU* experience is not vast, but if you read my article on the same topic I think THE best way of selecting a quiz is...
1. See if it's being sponsored by PT, IMS etc. If Yes Then there's a 98.4% chance it'll be Taureum Excreta
2. If the college organizing it is noteworthy. However, this is not foolproof. Have been to sucky quizzes at Hindu, Stephens and Venky.
3. Very Important... If the quiz is being done by a professional quizmaster or by someone you know, there's a pretty good chance it'll be decent. e.g: Ramjas quizzes being done by Pradyumna (don't expect to get your prize, though. Yes, dude, I'm still waiting...) and BVCOE quizzes being done by Nitesh, Nimish etc.
4. The prizes. If the quiz is part of a fest, always give it a shot. Isolated quizzes don't tend to give major prizes.
