Thank You...

The FYI meet on 6th Nov was very eventful. Thank you all for making it a success. We saw some new faces and also gave away cash prizes for the first time(thus starting a new tradition of giving money under the table to the winners).

Thanks to Babu for "Write, Scratch, Erase... Again". It was a lot of fun andquestions were aces! We were all surprised to see so many chicks in Babu's presentation though... I guess the guy is finally growing up! Homo and Srikanth came to FYI for the first time and won... in style. But the margin was small. The runners up were all separated by a maximum of 1.5 points or 1 star.

The FYI Open was super. Brunzo and I thank everyone who took part. Especially the new guys. The prelims saw the lowest high score so far(say that 5 times quickly)- 10.5 on 25. Muhahaha!

Vineeth, Vinay, Vijay(V3??) Homo and Srikanth were the only strangers to the finals. Athreya, Shreyas and Swaroop, the usual suspects were there. For the first time, a school team made it on stage. I am proud to say that they are my juniors from Carmel! Well done guys... Jayanth and Aditya. The highlight though, was Deepak teaming up with Baspure! Champions from FYI2 and FYI3 combined and as expected, stole the show at FYI4...
Though there were no jigs from Baspure's end this time, there was a brilliant crack on the theme at stage I which earned him the honorary FYI title of "Theme-appa". Hahaha...

Thank you everyone for coming and keep quizzing.
Cheers!
