QPL Semi-final B

The second of the Quizzing Premier League (QPL) Semi-finals is coming up in Margao on Saturday May 26.

Venue: Urban Health Centre (opp Hospicio), Margao
Date: Saturday, May 26
Time: 5pm
Flavour: General, with a smattering of word games and other antics
Participation: Qualifying teams from previous rounds (Tubelights, Gaurs, Couch Potatoes, Bloody B@@skets). Top two teams will qualify for the Finals.

The first Semi-final was, to coin a phrase, rather two-sided. Will this one be the same? Turn up and you will find out -- and if you're lucky (like several audience members during Semi-final A were), you might even get to join a team as a substitute.

QPL Semi-final A -- results

The first Semi-final of the Quizzing Premier League (QPL), held on May 20 at the International Centre Goa in Dona Paula, resolved itself early on into a top half and a bottom half, and stayed that way till the end. Sadly, the Washouts, a Margao team that braved blocked bridges, rides in tempos and other such hardships to make it to the venue, didn't make it further. At the other end, buoyed by the presence of Super-sub Ajey Patil in place of their captain Julian D'Costa, the Slouchers emerged on top. Here are the final scores:

1st: Slouchers (Anil Rodrigues*, Srijit K, Ajey Patil and Akshay S. Rege) -- 230 points
2nd: Poders (Rajiv D'Silva*, Jatan Rodrigues, Mahesh Prabhu and Agastya Keni) -- 185 points
3rd: Samurais (Sunil Sardessai*, Sachin Chatte, Mohnish Sardessai and Sanchita Rodrigues) -- 87 points
4th: Washouts (Suraj Kamat*, Wyl Coutinho, Soniya Vengurlekar and Hilario Goes) -- 66 points

Slouchers and Poders go through to the QPL Finals.

SEQC May 2012 monthly -- questions and answers

The May monthly, which I like to try and make my best quiz of the year, was a damp squib this year around. Too many commitments on my part meant that I did a rather shoddy job on this one. Here is the half-baked result:
