(2006)
GUIDELINES FOR ZONAL QUIZ COORDINATOR
The Zonal Coordinator may kindly guide the students to prepare for the quiz. They be asked to cover important topics like growth and development, immunization, nutrition, infectious diseases and common pediatric problems. Standard textbooks of pediatrics should form the basis of reading material for students.
Personnel
A Quiz Master to conduct the quiz competition, a time keeper to mark time, a scorer to maintain scores and several volunteers will be needed to conduct the quiz. Help of active members of the IAP can also be enlisted especially for Zonal Round.
Equipment
It is advisable to provide microphones to each of the four participating teams as well as to the Quiz Master. Scorer will need a score board to display the score. Time keeper will require a stopwatch and a bell. The tables of the competitors should be arranged so that they face the audience but are seated at some distance.
Guidelines for the Quiz Master
Detailed guidelines for the Quiz Master are enclosed separately. You may identify a Quiz Master from amongst senior members. The Quiz Master should read these guidelines clearly and explain the same to all the participants, before starting the quiz. He should also introduce the members of the team to the audience. The Quiz Masters decision is final in case of any dispute.

Certificates will be provided by the 18th IAP Pediatric Quiz Committee to be given to the winning team and other teams participating in the quiz. The certificates are sponsored by our esteemed journal IJPP and we express our deep sense of gratitude to the Journal Committee for their kind gesture.

19TH
IAP PEDIATRIC QUIZ FOR UNDERGRADUATES (2005)
Guidelines for the Quiz Master
Congratulations on being appointed the Quiz
Master. Before you start the quiz,
please read these guidelines carefully:
1.
Label
the teams as A, B, C and D etc by drawing lots and making them sit
appropriately so that they face the audience.
2.
Have
a scorer and a timekeeper with a stop watch ready.
3.
Request
the audience to keep silent and not to prompt answers or interfere otherwise.
4.
The
quiz shall be conducted in 6 rounds.
5.
The
Zonal Coordinator will hand-over the envelope bearing round numbers 1 to 6 and
one for the tie breaker round. Kindly
check that all the envelopes are there before starting the quiz. Do not open the small envelopes before you
have read all the guidelines.
6.
The
first 4 questions in each round are for the 6 teams (A, B, C, D, E, F)
respectively. Additional 2 questions
are extra questions given just in case the original question becomes invalid
(by audience interference or otherwise).
7.
Wherever
a range has been given, you may accept any figure in that range as a correct
answer. If there are more than one
cause then all causes have been listed and the student is to be given credit if
he answers any one (or more) of the mentioned causes. However, the Quiz Master must accept the synonyms as correct
answers e.g. the correct answer to a particular question is Downs Syndrome and
the team answers Trisomy 21. You should
give the team full credit even if Trisomy 21 is not mentioned as an
answer. In case a question consists of
two parts both the answers have to be given to obtain full points. Even if one part of the answer is given
correctly the answering team is not awarded any points and the question gets
passed to the next team.
Scoring Pattern : For Zonal and Final rounds only
Pattern B is to be followed as shown below.
Pattern B
Ten seconds are provided to answer each direct
question if the team answers correctly, they get 10 marks. During the same 10
seconds (plus the time taken by the team answering direct question) the other
three teams should write the expected correct answer on a slip. If the team answering the direct question
fails to give the correct answer, then the slips collected from all the other
three teams will be scrutinized by the Quiz Master and one or more teams with
the correct answer shall be given 5 marks.
Slips will be considered only if the direct question has not been
answered by the concerned team e.g. the direct question has been put to team
A. If team A has answered it correctly,
10 marks will be given to team A and the next direct question is put to team
B. If team B does not answer the
question in the stipulated time, the Quiz Master collects the written answers
from team A, C and D. One or more teams
with correct answers will get 5 marks (i.e. they all will get 5 marks if they
have written the correct answer). If
this pattern of scoring is to be adopted please ensure that
(i)
There
should be a person standing behind every team to collect the written answers
from them. He should promptly hand them
over to the Quiz Master.
(ii)
The
participants are provided with slips to write their answers on.
8.
Tie
break round (one or more if required) is to be conducted if more than one team
is sharing the highest score at the end of 6 rounds. The questions used for this will be unused questions marked E and
F in each round and the unmarked questions in the tie break envelope. You may group them for equal level of
difficulty before starting the tie break round.
9.
Please
give your comments about the quiz in the feedback proforma enclosed. This will help the IAP in improving the quiz
next year.
Yours sincerely,
