Announcing QuizStock 2020

The Sunday Evening Quiz Club's annual festival of quizzing, QuizStock, now reduced to a slim and trim single day of quizzing, will return on Sunday, January 12, 2020, at the International Centre Goa (ICG) in Dona Paula.

 

First up will be Akela, the Goa Solo Quiz, for pre-formed teams of one (heh heh), with Rajiv D'Silva as QuizMaster. This will begin at 10am, and will consist of a written prelims followed by an onstage finals. 

After lunch, starting 2pm, QM J Krishnamurthi will take you Places, with a quiz on geography, travel, and culture. This one's for pre-formed teams of two (the 'pour deux' part), and will be answered in writing off a projected set. 

Immediately afterwards, say 4pm, will commence the festival's flagship quiz, the Goa Open, conducted by Annie Sen Gupta. This quiz, again on a prelims-and-finals format, will be for teams of three.

So that's a one-two-three-go for QuizStock!
