The competition consisted of seven preliminary rounds, semi final, and final. On the first day, three preliminary rounds took place. In the 1st round, our hall competed against Hall 11, leading with a score of 3 ½- 1 ½ but in next two rounds we were defeated by both hall 2 (score 2-3) and hall 16 (score 2-3).

In the second day, another three rounds of preliminaries were played. Unfortunately, we were unable to outwit our opponents in all 3 rounds. The scores are 0-5 (against Hall 9), 2-3 (against Hall 13), and 2-3 (against Hall 5).

On the third day, the last round of preliminarily, semifinal, and final were played. In 7th round, we were defeated by Hall 1, 1-4.

Nonetheless, our players did put in a lot of effort and credit should go to them for having tried their best!

Boggle Team Done us Proud

Boggle, a game that rekindles childhood, a game worth fighting for. This seemingly simple game requires a good grasp of the English language, analytical skills, and a great deal of concentration in each game that lasts 3 minutes. At the end of every game, the umpire would have to score the word list created from each competitor, to determine who’s in, and who’s out.

We are honoured that Hall 15 is home to a bunch of Boggle experts, who almost made it to the finals. And I said ‘almost’ with sadness and regret, because it was a tie in the raw score that robbed them of their medals. Wasted yea? Definitely!

Who says Boggle is easy anyway?
