This time, there are two sports-themed filler quizzes (Food, Alcohol & Drugs and WAGs) on the 11th of January, in Hans Raj College, University of Delhi as part of the lead up to the event. They will be conducted by Shounak Purkayastha.
Organiser of the event and Editor in Chief of Barefoot, Aniket Mishra stated, “Over the three years that we have managed to conduct this event, it has rapidly grown to become India’s biggest sports quizzing festival. We believe that this particular quiz festival is more about passion for sports and quizzing, and less about event branding. Also, we intend to make people want to follow sports more avidly once they have a taste of the event.” He adds, “Special guests and prominent athletes shall grace the event and having them on board is an attempt to generate interest in the population with lesser experience of and exposure to quizzing.”
Participants from school & college and all ‘open’ quizzing buffs are welcome in teams of 3 or as lone wolves/cubs/pups for the open quizzes whereas anyone can walk in for the filler quizzes and will be allotted teams on the spot on the 11th. Prizes worth more than a lakh are on offer.For further details, interested people can follow the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/events/381678481958923/.
