1st UK SCHOOLS QUIZ CHAMPIONSHIPS (August 16th-17th 2003)
and
1st UK SCHOOLS INTELLIGENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS (August 25th 2003)
QUALIFYING COMPETITION RESULTS
The schools and individual pupils listed here have qualified for the grand final stage of the respective championships in Manchester next month. They do not need to take part in the qualifying stage on finals day. We are still awaiting results from a few schools and will update the web site if there are any more qualifiers from last month's competition.
All qualifying schools should already have received an e-mail or fax from us notifying them that they have qualified and providing the information they need for the finals, including details of how to apply for low cost accommodation at UMIST if they need it.
There will be further qualifying competitions for schools that were unable to take part in last month's competitions and we therefore expect more schools and individual pupils to qualify for the grand finals, but their names will not be known until just before the event.
We were able to be more generous than we originally expected in the criteria for qualification. The Intelligence questions proved rather more difficult than we expected, and by scoring -1 for a wrong answer a pupil's score did not only reflect the number of correct answers but also the number of wrong ones.
For the Intelligence Team Championship a school has qualified if its top four scores totalled at least 30 points. For the Intelligence Individual Championship a pupil has qualified if their score was at least 8 points.
The scores for the Quiz competition were generally much higher than those for the Intelligence. We consider a score of 30 to be good and 35 or more to be excellent. For the Quiz Team Championship a school has qualified if its top four scores totalled 120 or more. For the Quiz Individual Championship a pupil has qualified if their score was 25 points or better.
Remember that the first prize for each of the individual Championships is a £1,000 scholarship at the university or college of the winner's choice!
