PaGaLGuY Mock CATs Premier League

[Greenspan]

Ah... it feels good to post after such a long time. To answer St. Peter at heaven's gate, I thought I would do myself a good deed today. Sorry for being selfish that way.

I presume a summary of what I have seen in the PGPL teams' threads so far ( as a guest), however inane or disrespectful I may seem, I hope will hurt no one.

• Wide coverage by roping in cities, has been substituted for quality. By quality, I refer to ones' Sense of belonging, O type(universal donors), Activity and Passion, which I hereby christen, oh so ostentatiously, as the SOAP factor. I see almost all the teams having so many members who lack the SOAP factor so much, that I feel its time all of us took a bath. I realize that not everyone is as jobless as I am right now, but maybe one just needs the right platform.

• Barring Chennai , Kolkata and Mumbai (and maybe a few others), I see no one else discuss concepts. As Anir (anir-iim2005) mentioned over and over again, those few snippets could mean the difference of a few calls, at the end.

• There are very few cross-talks happening across the teams, apart from posts from stalwarts such as somname, The Raven, and harshadk, that get distributed everywhere. I feel a congregation of like-minded members will do a lot of good to PG as well as the individual members.

• The scores have not been updated for a long time now, and I do not know the reason why. I agree it is a trivial issue, but why not do it when it is there?

Last year, DT and UDT and BBLT may have had lesser posts than all the city teams combined today, but they probably boast of more number of views. Enthusiasm was concentrated in the 3 threads and so was comradeship.Now that the city DTs have done their intended job, maybe it is time we took it to the higher level.

In lieu of the aforementioned points, and as the silent but passionate observer, may I be active enough to open the following threads, which will aim to do what the PGPL - which I still maintain is a commendable pursuit - may have missed out upon.

Dream Team 08 - will/should consist of people who may lack the SOAP factor, but blind us by their lightning scores in their ongoing mocks.

Underdogs Team 08 - will/should consist of people who bathe in the SOAP almost daily, and also possess an uncanny knack of giving the DT guys a complex on their lucky day.

Having said so much, I leave it up to the mods to find a way out., though I still remember estranged_gnrs's words a few months ago.

Hey,

I know I am a bit late on this one ... but I have been writing TIME test series and was curious how do I apply for the membership of a team ... say underdogs!!! (keen on this one!!)

I have been doing decent, with an AIR of 1 in one test, and couple of times AIR 3 and a few more in top 20 ... so pretty consistent as such. (btw .. am in Bangalore)

Will be thankful if someone can direct me over here.

Cheers

Thanks man, but I will tell you a small story here.

Last year, I joined IMS and TIME test series. Scored a consisten top 5 in IMS and 10-15 AIR in TIME (without missing any cut offs).

But on the doomsday, I spent like good 65-70 mins on VA and managed a 76%ile in the section and an over all percentile of 99.5. So you see my point, all these mocks count for nothing comes the final day. Its just the matter of that day and those 2.5 hrs ... nothing else matters.

Anyway, this I will advice to everyone else as well, no one is sure of a call, and this holds both for people who are doing exceptionally well in mocks and those who are doing not-so-good. A single good day can change it all, so keep trying

And yes, that explains why I still want to consider myself an underdog (I am not counting on me cracking the CAT ... ).

Anyway, how r the team members going to be chosen? random nominations?

I totally agree wit u tat its all abt C-day...ur mock scores n all count for zilch if u mess tat day...Its just tat d concept of UDT is such tat its for ppl who r normally say arnd 95, but on their day give the toppers a run for their money...so acc to tat u classify as DT material...

Regarding nominations, m waiting for Rohit's(estranged_gnrs) opinion...as in is the concept ther this time...wud luv to b part of UDT...or BBLT for tat matter...

Guys i guess It's pretty late already .....

I totally support Greenspan in his concern and wud like to raise a few doubts :

Firstly i wanted to ask why can't one of us start a thread for UDT and BBLT 2008 and then invite the last yr members to moderate coz without the initiative i guess it's going to
take another few weeks.( Each day counts !!!)

Secondly I have already posted this on a number of threads but i didn't see a lot of enthu.
So without an official thread I guess its never going to take up a firm shape.

Lookin forward to a warm response from u guys.I wud love to see a thread coming up for both these teams.Not only the members,but all the ppl who'll visit the thread wud benefit from it.And it will again give a sense of competition to the DT as in all the previous years .

UDT & BBLT 2007 rocked !!

Cheers,

[Greenspan]

Blasphemy !!

Pardon this spam, but I logged in eager to see a BBLT 08 hard at work trying to inspire other puys, but i guess we left no legacy.
