Blitzkrieg: Where it all began

Nagpur Quiz Club had successfully conducted two Open Quizzes, but an idea of doing an 'In-house Quiz' took a lot of time to materialise. It finally happened on 15th August 2011. The Quiz was called 'Blitzkrieg'. It was a unique format, probably one of its kind. Every participant had to register before hand and bring with himself 10 Questions made by him. Teams of two individuals were made on the spot by draw of lots. This was one experimental attempt where every participant got an opportunity to become a Quiz Master, the main purpose being to emphasise the importance of making original questions. The result was awesome.
In a standard quiz, the Quiz Master follows his own particular style of making questions which don't generally exceed 40-50, Blitzkrieg had multiple Quiz Masters and hence multiple type of questions with number of questions reaching 120.
Thirteen people participated in the inaugural edition of Blitzkrieg, the results were as follows:
Winners:
Mr. Shivam Sharma
Mr. Hemant Singh
3 teams jointly finished 2nd:
Mr. Akhil Singh and Mr. Aditya Morarka,
Miss Rida Hamid, Mr. Abhijeet Bose and Mr. Rishi Vij
Mr.Rajat and Mr. Padmanabhan Pillai.
NQC today has done more than 60 In-house Quizzes and Blitzkrieg too has had 6 editions in all but the excitement of the first edition will always be special.
