Vespertilio - Non-Comp

The Vespertilio Non Competitive event was held on the 11th October 2012 within the hallowed portals of our beloved SAC-CR. The most amazing thing about the event was that nobody had any idea why the event was named as BAT. Anyways, the event got underway at time (QC continues to stick to its timely starts this year). The rep team which had been working very hard for the past couple of days for Rendezvous and Krypton finally found itself in familiar territories where it had to solve questions rather than make new ones. The event was well attended by the Freshers of all hostels. The veteran third year junta being represented by only one team. At the end of the prelims, Jyotesh was seen running around the Room searching for people who could solve more than one of his questions. Eventually, 11 teams ended up meeting the cutoff score of 7 points as many as four of them comprising entirely of Freshers. Among the qualifiers, there was a team of four while another was a team of two. Just before the finals started, Akhil was going around the room looking for a potential third person that could join his team but was heavily disappointed. Jyotesh was the first Quizmaster in the Finals and rushed through his round in a jiffy. He had a train to catch so that he may go to Antaragni and win the FLAME Quiz (Congrats for that!!!). His round was extremely low-scoring however contained some very good questions and a tribute to the IIT Delhi Quizzing Great – Contri. Next came Hrishikesh with his questions providing much avenue for scoring well to all teams. By the end of his round, the Third year team of Gowtham, Nishant, Milan and Arpit had built up a huge lead on the others. Some fresher teams got so frustrated that they decided to leave the Quiz midway. Next up was Ashutosh. His entertainment based questions had Shiva jumping for joy at every question. With just four teams left by the end of his round, it was thought best to abandon Anshuman’s round and give him a chance to present his questions in the next Non-Competitive event. In the end, a highly flustered rep team was seen disappearing in the VIP room trying to get Krypton – the Treasure Hunt of Rendezvous 2012 up and running by the end of the day.
