TATA CRUCIBLE JAMSHEDPUR CAMPUS EDITION 2011

Saturday second half ,I was almost jobless..
and when i came to know that it was jsr hosting crucible campus this time..
i hurried to catch it straight after Office ..
Though the organisers were not allowing audience(that i found very stupid) I was allowed when I showed them my Company I card( we're sponsors U see)..
The hall was half packed and was majorly dominated by XLRI. Even the wild card round found all 6 teams from XLRI.The finals had teams from XISS,XLRI,ISM,NIT-rourkela.
Pickbrain was as usual at his best..The showman that he is..
The interesting point to be appreciated was the scoring pattern of the finals..
The dry rounds were passed and with every pass the scores were +1.
that is if the Question went to team 1 and if they dint answer team 2 on answering would get 2..and if the same question went unanswered them team 3 would get 3 on answering..The finals kept the audience riveted especially the last round where there were 3 Qs on buzzer with 3 clueseach . Answering on the first clue u got a 12 answering on the 2nd u would get 8 and the 3rd would fetch u 4.So the last question came to be a decider as the winning team which was initially lagging answered the last Q on the first clue thereby fetching +12.the scores were pretty close with top 3 teams of XLRI on 36,35 and 31
