The Cue 2014 – Report

MVM have been on a roll this year and they continued that lucky streak with a win at BRV’s The Cue . The team battled it out with five other schools in the finals held late in the afternoon on Monday. The winners walked away with a cash prize of ₹10K while the runners-up and third place , AMM Matric and PS Senior respectively , were awarded ₹8K and ₹6K .

The preliminary round , which was held in the morning , witnessed a participation of about a hundred schools . It consisted of 25 questions which included the usual starred , picture questions , etc . The prelims , this time , were pretty good and were better than last year . The Cut-Off was 15 .

The six teams in the finals were Bala Vidya Mandir , Chettinad Vidyashram , Maharishi Vidya Mandir , PS Senior , AMM Matric and PSBB Nungambakkam.

The finals were hard-fought and very tight . MVM maintained a lead from the second round and never lost that momentum and AMM consistently scored in every round to make sure that they got atleast second place. CV had scored some points early on , but then encountered a points-drought in some of the later rounds . PS Senior were good too , but they should’ve maybe tried to score some points in the infinite pounce rounds . They later bagged the Third place in a thrilling tie-breaker with CV .

1st Place – MVM ( Pranav and Visrudh )
2nd Place -AMM ( Tejas and Shubhankar )
3rd Place – PS Senior ( Arjun and Sankrith )
