Sachin Deshpande

This Sunday, Sachin Deshpande will return to conduct a full-length quiz, following the excellent quiz he and Karthik hosted earlier this year. Given Sachin's tremendous performance at BQC quizzes so far, one can expect nothing less than an absolute treat. Also, since he is one of the quizmasters at the Mumbai Quiz Festival early next year, it may be a good idea to attend this quiz to deconstruct his style and push up for what it's worth.

Quizmaster: Sachin Deshpande   When: 3 PM, Sunday, 30th november 2014 (Please be there by 2:45 PM for team assignments) Where: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

Jagdeep Kannarath

This Sunday, Jagdeep Kannarath takes centrestage at the BQC, with what is decidedly not a Geography Quiz. The quiz, set in collaboration with Sundesh Shetty who has now departed for the US, is a General Quiz with the world map as a backdrop. Teams have to choose a region on the map on their turn, and the questions they get will pertain to that region.
Jagdeep has always been an innovator, and one hopes that the in-PPT scoring system he has developed will also debut at the BQC with what will be his own debut as quizmaster. Either way, this quiz will certainly be worth missing some business quiz final in South Mumbai for.


Quizmaster: Jagdeep Kannarath When: 3 PM, Sunday, 23rd november 2014 (Please be there by 2:45 PM for team assignments) Where: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W).

Persiflage

Books will be the flavour of the day on November 4th. Sumant Srivathsan will host Persiflage, the annual KQA Books quiz composed by himself and Thejaswi Udupa. Being held in Mumbai for the first time, it will be a treat for all book fans, like it is every year. Don't miss it.
.Quizmaster: Sumant Srivathsan + Thejaswi Udupa   When: 3 PM, Sunday, 2nd november 2014 (Please be there by 2:45 PM for team assignments) Where: Pinstorm, Ground Floor, Swati House (Next to Kotak Bank on Linking Road), North Avenue, Santa Cruz (W). Directions: From the south: If you come north on Linking Road from Bandra to SantaCruz, you'll find a large Benetton Store on the right. At the end of that block is a Kotak Bank at the corner. Take a right and it's the next building, take the first gate and tell the sentry you've come for the quiz. From the north: If you get on to Linking Road at the airplane park end, you'll cross a HDFC Bank. A block later, you'll see a Kotak Bank on the corner - do not cross it. Take a left at that point and it's the building next to Kotak Bank.
