SalomonKane:
Other thread? Kindly provide a link to the thread.

Before prizes are given? Come on, that seems like punishment.

So, after a participant win, and he or she didn't meet the requirement, they'll automatically forfeit their prize(s)?

No it's not a punishment, it just means people should learn to abide by rules. The criteria are very clear, so if you go ahead and enter for the contest knowing fully well you're not eligible then you obviously don't get to claim the price.

it is not a purnishment. It is part of the eligibility criteria not to be in final year. It was clearly stated right from the beginning of this scheme. Thank you

Please would our scores be shown after writing the test?

Op it's not fair o. The only reason I did not apply was before of the "minimum of seven posts" clause. And now, you have slyed me. You should have informed us that that second candidate been waived beforehand nah.

Still, you could have applied as you got nothing to lose. Gracias all the way!

xfire:
Following the call for application for the maiden edition of the Xfire Nairaland Undergraduate Quiz Competition (https://www.nairaland.com/3551871/annual-xfire-nairaland-undergraduate-quiz), a total of 328 of candidates applied before the deadline. Out of this, 284 was shortlisted based on the criteria used. The maximum cut-off of 100 was waived as every candidate that met the criteria 1 & 3 was shortlisted. Criterion 2 (minimum of 7 posts on Education section) was waived. However, in the event of a tie in any of the categories, the candidate with more contribution in the Education section will be favoured.

The cash prizes / awards have been reviewed marginally upwards and will be awarded to the top 5 candidates as follows:

Winner: N60, 000

1st runner up: N35,000

2nd runner up: N25, 000

4th and 5th best candidates: N10,000 each

All categories are subject to a minimum score of 60%. Awards will only be presented upon passing the minimum benchmark of 60%. If there is a tie, the candidate with more contribution in the Education section will be picked. Award winners will also be required to provide proof of their studentship (e.g. copy of student ID card) before they can claim their cash prizes.

GOOD INITIATIVE FROM XFIRE!

My questions are:
¤Are school leavers(JAMBITES) allowed to take the test?

¤And about the nature of the questions,I don't know how right is it to seek more clarification considering the fact that candidates are from various unrelated academic levels and fields?

Thanks in Anticipation!

1. Only undergraduates are eligible. Those with ID card or admission letter
2. It has already been adressed. The test was set such a way that it favours no set of people. They are general questions to test reasoning and intelligence.
Thank you

that is because you give up on it too early. It is because of the pleas from people like you that the rule was waved. Also, it was posted on the other thread when it was waved. It will be an annual event. You can try your luck again next year. Thank you

It's still the same. How will the organisers know if one is student or if one isn't?

There are ways to forge student ID cards, admission letters etc.

I feel it's a long shot asking them to contest when in fact they're not even qualified to contest in the first place.

The screening should have been done before the contest starts. Many will raise dust if they win and their prizes are denied them on the basis of whatever their corrupt mind can contort.

No need. For transparency, I will keep it here because it is a public pledge.

Finish the competition, announce the winner...and I will give to the winner.

Then the winner should come here to confirm the alert.

I like to keep things simple.
