It was that time of the year again!!

Tata Crucible – International Edition, into its second year in Singapore was ready to break records with more number of teams, bigger prizes and a BUMPER Prize (to be revealed towards the end of this post) 

138 teams took the 20 question prelim. In true Crucible style, the top 6 teams made it directly and the next 8 teams were to battle it in a wild card round for the remaining two slots.

The shock of the evening came when defending champions SMU were called on stage for the wild card entry round.

As Anirban , the defending champion said- “The prelim was extremely easy, there was no scope for any error. With 16 out of 20, it was surprising to note that we weren’t in the top 6. The teams here have been preparing and it was evident after the prelim” 

After cruising through the wild card round and entering the final as a wild card team, the defending champions- Anirban Dattagupta & Bhavya Khanna from Singapore Management University were unstoppable. After 5 rounds of regular business quizzing, SMU demolished the other teams beating the second team 70-35 points.. 

And after all the goodies the boys have won, the Bonanza remains that they fly down in March to Mumbai during the India Nationals.. Does this mean there will be a Tata Crucible International final this year?? I put my money on it!

With the London edition on 9^th November, QT and Quizkrieg will try and confirm this piece of news! Lets just say- we’ll wait for it from the horse’s mouth! So, register on the above mentioned sites for regular updates.

And for those who want to check the prelim that foxed even the defending champions, here’s the link
