FORMAT OF THE QUIZ COMPETITION

1. Preliminary Round

The preliminary round will be conducted through a timed online MCQ test which will consist
of 25 questions. The time allotted shall be 10 minutes for completion of the online MCQ test.

Questions would be framed in such a way that resorting to unfair means would take a
substantial amount of time. Questions 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 would be star-marked as tiebreakers.
Difficulty level of the questions would be easy, and the tiebreakers would be moderately
difficult. If two or more persons achieve the same score, and it is necessary to break the tie to
determine the top 12, the one who answers the most of these five questions correctly will be
selected over the others.

The Top 12 participants will move on to the Eliminatory Round of the Final Round.
2. Final Round

The final round shall take place on a Zoom video call. The participants shall turn on their videos
at all times. Their face and hands must always be visible to the quizmaster and the proctoring
team. Any discrepancy may lead to a disqualification. The participants shall ensure a stable
internet connection. Any suspicious glitches may lead to a disqualification. The decisions
related to disqualification shall be on the discretion of the Quizmaster and the proctoring team
and shall be binding on the participants.

The final round would be conducted in two phases – Eliminatory Round and Bounce and
Pounce Round.

i. Eliminatory Round

The top 12 participants of the Preliminary Round would participate in the Eliminatory Round
which will consist of three rounds in total. The round will have direct questions which will be
directed in a sequential manner. The first question of the quiz will be addressed to the first
participant. The Second participant will counter the second question so on and so forth. The
question will not be bounced or pounced in this round and will be off the floor once the
participant answers or refuses to answer the question.

10 seconds would be given to the participants to answer the direct question, failing to which
the question would be marked as unanswered. 10 points are to be awarded for every correct
answer and a deduction of 5 points for every incorrect answer would follow. The difficulty
level of the questions would be hard and framed in such a way that resorting to unfair means
would take a substantial amount of time.

The top 7 participants at the end of this round will move on to the Bounce and Pounce Round.

ii. Bounce and Pounce Round

The top 7 participants of the Eliminatory Round will compete in the Bound and Pounce Round
which will consist of 7 rounds in total. The round will have direct questions which will be
directed in a sequential manner. The first question of the quiz will be addressed to the first
participant. The Second participant will counter the second question so on and so forth. For the
direct questions, 10 points are to be awarded for every correct answer and there is no negative
making in case of incorrect answers. 15 seconds would be given to the participants to answer
the direct question, failing to which the question would be marked as unanswered. Upon failure
to answer the direct question, the direct question will bounce to the next participant. It will be
known as the bounce question thereon. If the second participant fails to answer the bounce
question, the question bounces to the third participant, and so on. If the direct question is
answered correctly, no bounces shall take place. The direct questions will go in a sequential
manner irrespective of whether the previous question was answered directly, answered on the
bounce, or not answered at all.

Explanation - The second question of the quiz will be directed to the 2nd participant
irrespective of how much the previous question bounced. The third question shall be the direct
question to the third participant and so on.

A question can remain on the floor for only one cycle. If the participant to whom the question
is directed and other 6 participants to which the question may be bounced, all fail to answer the
question directly, then the question no longer remains active. The Quizmaster shall reveal the
answer to the participants and the audience. For the bounce questions, 5 points would be
awarded for every correct answer and there is no negative marking in case of incorrect answers.
The participants can indulge in pouncing on the question if they are of the opinion that the
question to which they are certain of the answer may not reach them in the usual direct and
bounce way. The participant to whom the question is directed gets to answer irrespective of
other participants’ pouncing. After the question is put forth, the quizmaster will open the floor
for pouncing. The floor shall be open for 10-15 seconds. Pouncing shall happen discreetly.
The participant(s) who want to pounce will use the ‘message privately’ feature in zoom chat.
They will message the Quizmaster, “Pounce - answer-xyz”.

The Quizmaster will first mark the pouncing participant(s) according to their answers and
would then proceed to the participant to whom the question is directed. Once a participant
pounces, they cannot answer the same question on bounce. 15 points would be awarded for
every correct answer and a penalty of 10 points would follow in the case of pouncing.

The difficulty level of the questions would be hard and framed in such a way that resorting to
unfair means would take a substantial amount of time.

The winners would be announced immediately after the completion of the quiz and the
decision would be binding on all.
