... another competiton screwed. ya i do have an extra "merit" trophy in my cardboard, but then theres so much stuff screwed in the competition that i'm not even sure if its mine anymore.
ok heres how it works, everyone goes for a quiz. for every sch, the 4 people with the highest score from that sch is selected and their marks totaled. the top 6 schs are selected based on that totaled score, and the 4 people who are selected goes to the second round or final round. in any case, finalist at least get a merit trophy, and thus you can see that our team didn't get anything.
heres the problem. theres a seperate prize, for the best results on quiz. some rgs girl called rebecca or sth got second highest overall, but she wasn't selected for the final round even though rgs made it to the finals. wats more is that for our team, all the pro people, like yu jian(who taught us the stuff) didn't get it and i did, when i was susposed to be like a spacefiller -.-. obviously sth's wrong.
the buzzer for finals screws up too. there was this time when timothy whacked the button and nth happened and when we turn we saw ACS's buzzer lighted, but the thing is we didn't hear anything at all before it. the buzzer's susposed to buzz -.-, though i do think ACS pressed it first, but they should still make the sound audible. and one more, there was once we pressed the buzzer and we could hear the 'thud', and the buzzer did nth, then theres a thud from the neighbouring table and their buzzer sounded.........
dotz, in any case it doesn't really matter. we can see that we're deproving alr, they got 3rd last year and yu jian was top astronomer, last year. we pretty much screw up without our seniors.....
