First up, we would like to thank all those who have responded to our call to join the EQL for their support.
Of the many responses we got, many students had requested us to postpone the start of the league as this is their exam time. We have decided to consider this request seriously, for the league's success depends on maximum participation in every quiz. As a result, the quiz on February 16th stands postponed.
The new dates for the launch of the league will be decided after taking into account the requests of all the schools and students who are interested in taking part in the league.
Meanwhile, we would like to carry on with the work of setting up the rest of the things. For this it is necessary that we get a rough estimate of the number of participants and the means to maintain contact with them all the time. The purpose of the quiz on the 16th was mainly this. So, we hope that, inspite of the postponement the schools will send in the registration forms and all the students will start accessing the blogspot we have set up. Any news with regards to the league will be first put up on the blog.
Also, we request the students to post their comments on the blog as knowing their thoughts will only help us in conducting the league in a better manner. Another important thing to do for those interested in the League would be join our Orkut Community - Enquire, Calicut. Please tell us which school you are from, your email id and your phone number when you join.
THINGS TO DO FOR NOW
Send in the registration forms to Bhavans Varuna Vidyalaya, Thrikkakkara, Kochi – 682021.
The registration fee will be collected later on at the venue of the first quiz.
Students please visit our blog and post your comments and let us know what you think. it is to be understood that the blog is the easiest means for us to convey the important announcements to the students.
We will be begin sending of quizlets to all those who have sent in their registration forms.
We hope that all the students will take it up as their responsibility to make sure that we are always in a position to contact them either via their teacher-in-charge or e-mail as it is not practical for us to keep sending pamphlets to your school every time we conduct a quiz.

try to follow the KISS rule - keep it short and simple.
pls don't have such biggy rules for the league....don't make it sound all too serious.
pls allow us to register online.......its difficult for everyone to send snail mails to bhavans varuna.
i've got a number of contacts....so i'll try calling them up- abt the quiz. it sounds strange, but most quizzers in kochi are on hibernation!!!
also, quizzing is not to be another place of warfare b/w the schools. already most of the cbse schools are fighting against each other to win IMPULSE, VISTA, VOX POPULI, MAGNUM OPUS et al. so EQL shudn't be made another war ground for school mgmts. and so pleaseeeeeee allow cross school teams.
atleasr allow us to participate alone.....in shortage of partners.
hey.. first of all thnx for changin d date.. thnx for considerin our request n understanding our plight.. had u not i'd've cut my phy yearly xams n com..
but still.. these tight rules haunt me.. u can ne'er expect my scl to take initiative in these isuues.. lemme b frank.. my scl dint have a quizteam atall b4 i joined dis year(u cant call it a team though,jus somone to com with me)..
n i was nearly suspended last day for bunking classes n goin for quiz at mec,cochin with arun as a crs-scl team..perhaps v r not as gud.. but v r such quiz fanatics.. i still dont understand y u do not allow crs-scl teams..
as arun mentioned der r lots of inter-scl fights goin on.. y do u want u make eql such a fight?? i thot u did it for the lov of quizzin rather than intr-scl clashes..
n i noe itz difficult 4 u to change all d rules all of a sudden...
so lemme make a suggestion.. just a suggestion..
crs-scl teams can b allowed if the individuals bring d identity certifications n d points of crs-scl team will not b added in d best scl league..
crs-scl teams can b considered jus as a team n nothin more...
or as mentioned by arun pls allow us to participate alone..
i culdnt find neone who culd come with me..itz only wen eng colleges like u conduct quizzes that v r allowed crs-scl teams..
hope u'll consider our this plight too... u've got nothin to loose but it'd b d greatest favour u culd do us.. jus allow us to participate in d eql as a team n as nothin more... do u thnk i'm gonna compete for a scl wich is tryin to suspend me e'ery second as i bunk classes to quiz.. pls v r 'vin xams now.. had one yesterday , 've one tomm.. v get to the net only wen der's no one at home..without parents noein.. v luv quizzin so much.. entrance,scl in btwn all of these itz only quizzin dat gives us relief...
so pls dont disappoint us.. watever is ur reply pls post it soon..
hopefully.. Jobin
Arun and Jobin ...I truly admire ur open comments on the "hazards" of being a quizzomaniac..Frankly speaking these days the students dont know whether to pursue the matters of their heart without the support of their parents or the school..or to just go ahead with their interest come what may...Well the EQL should see to it that there's regular communication with their members to update them on the art of quizzing and how to go about it all...I, being a teacher appreciate ur gesture and am in the process of encouraging my students to join the league to become the top performers.Like Jobin mentioned, we should have a "mixed bag" to discourage the unhealthy spirit of competition among the students of the different city schools ...and to improve that feeling of oneness among the young generation...Hence design ur package acordingly and get set , go....Heres wishing the team all the best and thanks a ton for the initiative taken....
thnx.. shyam sir.. n v dont think scls(most of them) wuld allow students to participate as crs-scl teams.. for most scls itz a matter of prestige at d inter-scl level n so they'll work hard on it.. thatz a gud thin for d eql.. more teams.. more competition.. n a btr quiz..
itz gud to've a best scl league..
all v asked for was to allow crs-scl teams 'also' such that v dont represent ne scl at all but merely compete for d best team award..
whens the first quiz?? dates not announced till now.....
what about open teams??? pls allow that.
have u sent the forms to our school (rajagiri public school)???? if yes, our teachers haven't told us about it.
