Quiz-by-Quiz statistics

Quiz	Competitors
Q1	610
Q2	553
Q3	408
Grand Total	1571

 

The decrease in the number of participants is firstly due to shrinkage of the number of participants from India, from 428 in Quiz 1 down to 192 in Quiz 2 and then down to 83 in Quiz 3.

The great number of participants, from India, in the Quiz 1 reflected the process of selection for the MSP. This technique can be used in the processes of selection of the MSP and in other countries because IT Challenge covers a wide range of technical products from Microsoft: the servers, clients area and area of cloud-computing.

Q. Why is based on the sum of the top scores?

A. Because it is a criterion measure of competitiveness. The more you are involved in competition and better prepared you can get a bigger score and a better position in the rankings.

eljiudia (Romania) has obtained the highest score of the current edition, but ESI60596 (France) has the best average of scores. Last year the highest score was 28. We expect to see an improvement of the results in the following quizzes.
