Master, Mind It! Semis – report


This Master, Mind It! competition has lived up to the excitement that its format – that requires both a canny choice of specialised subject and strength on general subjects – can generate. The Round 2 matches, effectively the Semi-finals, saw another series of nail-biting finishes and unexpected performances. At the end of the day, the line-up for the finals is solid and exciting.

The kick-off was a little chaotic. From well before the event, I had been getting scheduling requests from people. Some needed to leave early, others needed to arrive late. A bit of juggling had had to be done with the schedule to adjust it to the individual requests. Part of that was the plan to start earlier than usual.

But well, you know how the best-laid plans go. Participants for the first Match were – barring for Viola who had a 6pm bus to catch to Bangalore – a little tardy. With Viola's need in mind, we kicked things off only 15 minutes behind schedule, fully prepared to do Viola's sets by themselves, and get around to Ajey's and Tejan's when they arrived. As it was, Ajey came in while Viola's specialised subject set was getting under way, and so we proceeded in the normal vein, but with two participants. Ajey put in a strong performance to knock Viola out, but the outcome of the match was put in abeyance till Tejan made his entry. When he did, his score was well below Ajey's, who went through to the Final.

Before starting on Matchh 2, we did a short demo round with Dr Chandrashekhar Rao, who was in town and eager to give the format a shot. He scored a full 10 in his chosen subject of Classic Hollywood Comedy.

Match 2 began one-sidedly, with Harsh striking up a large lead over Ameya and Sahil in the specialised subject sets. But the general knowledge sets almost tilted the balance. Needing to get just 2 points to win, Harsh displayed some serious brinksmanship by scoring exactly that in his general knowledge set.

The third match also was close, with the three participants finishing on sequential scores of 8, 9 and 10, but Gouthami couldn't pip Srijit at the post, finishing with just 3 points in GK when she only needed 4.

In Match 4, Rajiv, Gadgil and Sanjay all showed great class in their respective specialised subjects, scoring 7, 8 and 7, respectively. The general knowledge sets, though, opened up big gulfs, with Rajiv finally showing the class one expects of him to finish on 14 points, the highest score of any participant in both the Rounds so far.

So, the finals, scheduled for Sunday January 15 – during QuizStock – will feature Ajey, Harsh, Srijit and Rajiv. Promises to be great fun!

Master, Mind It! qualifiers

The Margao round of Master, Mind It! saw two very tight matches and one, where a close fight was expected, that was quite a walkover finally.

In Match 1, Harsh (Bhatkuly) pulled off a near-perfect score on his chosen subject, a 'Sairam' in place of a 'Sainath' the only fumble. Nitish, who would have been expected to do much better, managed only 3 points to effectively knock himself out of the competition, coming third behind Paul. Kanchan was a nervous fourth.

Match 2 was very evenly contested, with the two young college students Tejan and Harsh (Hegde) matching Gouthami and Ameya. The latter won the match by a whisker, but the high-scoring nature of the match has ensured that two of his fellow contestants also go through to the next round.

Match 3 almost saw a huge upset, with Sahil matching Rajiv's score on both the chosen subject as well as the general knowledge sets, but Rajiv topped by virtue of fewer passes. Viola also finished level on scores with Rajiv and Sahil, but will lose out on a place in the semis because of her 7 passes. Her best hope is that one of the other qualifiers expresses an inability to attend.

With all six matches done, the 12 people who go through to the Semis are given below.

Automatically qualifying as Match winners:
1. Ajey
2. Chirag
3. Srijit
4. Harsh B
5. Ameya
6. Rajiv

Joining them will be:
7. Sanjay – 12 points (0 passes)
8. Gouthami – 11 (0)
9. Gadgil – 11 (1)
10. Tejan – 11 (3)
11. Delson – 10 (2)
12. Sahil – 10 (3)

Unlucky 13. Viola – 10 (7)

BiG Q 2016 – scores and content

A total of 40 participants took The BiG Q test across Panjim and Margao, down from 51 in 2015 -- continuing a relentless downward trend in the number of people answering this quiz. The format changes initiated last year were enhanced this time around, with several new sections added. The total number of possible points in The BiG Q 2016 amounted to 150.

As with last year, Rajiv D'Silva and Vidyadhar Gadgil are the two quizzers at the top of the rankings. Where this year's results differ from the previous edition, though, is that there is no tie, with Rajiv beating Gadgil by 76 points to 72. This year's BiG Q, therefore, is Rajiv D'Silva, while Vidyadhar Gadgil takes the crown of Best Open Quizzer from Panjim. The Margao Best Open Quizzer is Sanjiv Prabhudessai, who scored 49 points. The top Schools quizzers across both venues were closely bunched around the 30-point mark. Altamash Panjwany, who scored 31, beats his nearest competitor, Ishan Kakodkar, by 2 points to take the title of Best Schools Quizzer from Margao; the BSQ in Panjim, Kaivalya Karkare, is slotted between them in the overall rankings, with 30 points.

Since this post has been a little delayed, the Panjim prizes have already been awarded -- during the Panjim monthly on October 2. The Margao prizes will be awarded on the sidelines of the Master, Mind It! competition scheduled for end-October. Winners are requested to try and attend.

Here are the top 10 finishers:
