Quizzopolis @SPJCM Singapore

13th December 2008 will be remembered as the day when the journey of QuizzopolisII came to an end. It was a fun filled evening with whole lot of enthusiasm in the air and everyone eagerly waiting in suspense for the winner to emerge. There was a lot of hard work and preparation that went behind the successful organization of this event. After Quizzopolis 1 which happened back in Dubai, ClubIT@SPJCM wanted to take this event to the next level and it was indeed achieved. Be it the Quiz software or the online score cards or the prizes given out to the audi-ence and the teams, there was lot more improvement and innovation this time. However, this would not have been possible without the active support and guidance of Mr. AVR Srinivas throughput the planning and the execution of the event.
In addition to being an evening of Business Quiz, QuizzopolisII was also a platform to bring the Alumni, EMBAites and the GMBAites (May’08 and Dec’08 batches) together. As only 6 teams could have made to the finals, pre-liminary rounds were conducted at different times to accommodate all the batches. With the six teams chosen for the final event, the evening of 13th December 2008 saw 3 teams from the May’08 and Dec’08 batch respec-tively. As the event began, the Quizmaster not only kept the teams on their toes but the audience was also in-volved in answering tricky questions. In the midst of intense quizzing, there were some light and fun moments also, with some really ‘creative’ answers. While the teams were battling it out for the trophy, there were goodies for the audience too in the form of souvenir cups and chocolates.
After an intense 90 minutes of quizzing, the event came to an end with the presentation of the Rolling Trophy and the gift vouchers to the winning teams. The guests of honor of the event, Dr. Seetha Raman and Prof Rama-subramanyam gave away the prizes to the teams.
The winning team of QuizzopolisII had two teams from the Dec’08 batch and one team from May’08 batch.
