• BLAB
BLAB the event has been drawing packed audiences since its first year itself. It showcases the best
of the speaking talent in OASIS, with the keenly contested JAM rounds being one of the major
USPs of BLAB.
But BLAB seeks to reinvent itself, with even greater emphasis on the contestants' wit, sense of
humour and presence of mind. One of the major events in the OASIS schedule, we aspire to make
BLAB a national platform for the next generation of stage entertainers.
Given below is a short description of the event. Please note that this structure is not final, and can
be changed as per the preferences of the moderator and the organizers.
Rules:
>> The first preliminary round will consist of a verbal interview, open for all BITSians and
outstation participants. This stage happens a day before the on-stage finals. The JAM moderator
will screen the participants, and based on the originality of their responses, 24 people will be
selected for the next round.
>> The 24 participants will be randomly grouped for JAM (Just a Minute.)The moderator will
announce the number of rounds, scoring format, rules and theme of the JAM rounds during the
event and he will be the final arbiter in all decisions.
>> The cumulative score will be taken of each participant and the top-scoring six will go through
to the finals.
>> The Finals begin with a few rounds of JAM, through which 6 of the 12 finalists move on to the
next round. Subsequent rounds will present a greater challenge to the spontaneity and imagination
of he speakers, and will be used to decide on the winner. The format will be jointly decided by the
moderator and the organizers and will be explained at the time of the finals. “Shipwreck” and
“Whose line is it anyway?” are examples of formats tried in previous years.
>> The final interpretation of the rules of the event lies with the organizers and the moderator.
