Most of us joined this place with one dream, the dream that we live every moment. We aspire every moment to crack CAT, longing to score high in mocks and the drive to replicate the same performance in actual CAT. In the process, we come across performance of quite a few people which becomes our dream with a feel of respect for those scoring it.And, we start aiming at studying in IIMs and other top B-Schools along with these people in our batch.

Most deservingly, for the last few years, the_hate, shashank3012, Basilisk, justlikethat, ThE bmr, silent_assassin, r11gupta, dawn153, omeo316, kamalchabbra, varung, geminite, sarcastix, Samurai X, vipul88 and many many more have been a part of our memories as great source of inspiration. Stories of these people have been passed on with enthusiasm even from those who haven't known them A chance for you all to get into the common thread shared by all these stalwarts.

Yes, we are back with arguably one of the most followed threads on pagalguy, The PaGaLGuY Dream Team 2012.

Can I nominate myself in my team???

Yes you can. But wont it look better if some one else nominates you :)

A small advice: when you are selecting a team, please also consider the person's helping tendency & activeness on PG ..

Know your selectors:

1. the_hate : The name needs no introduction, with one of the most inspiring journies on AIWTSAC thread, this stalwart made it to IIM-C as part of 2013 Batch and is known across for his modesty and helping nature to make more people reach dream IIMs.

2. raghav507: When he is not banning bots and spammers, an extremely helpful and knowledgeable person. An able mentor and a source of inspiration on pg.

3. Yours' Truly

Auditor : Grondmaster ( winner of best OMPA award, an avid quizzer, one of the most helpful people around )

Rules:

1. Make only one post (for nomination) & edit if you want..strictly strick to the above team structure..Dont forget to post the person's score/ your reason

2. Dont comment on someone else team

3. Dont market for your team or for any member of you team

4. Please don't forge to give link of scores in mock repository.

If above rules are violated, you along with your team will naturally be disqualified.

How does the selection happen???

This time selection process is slightly changed. It would be in 2 phases.

Phase 1:

We count the no of nominations made for any individual i.e if Mr.x nominates y in his team & Z also nominates y in his team, then y gets 2 votes & so on.

On the basis of above count, we will arrive at a list of 20 puys (tentatively).

Phase 2:

Selectors talk to these 20 puys to have a discussion about their performance in mocks, activity on PG and views on being part of Team.

After this talk, announcement of final team for season 2012 shall happen.

***Through the years we have seen, some good candidates not being nominated due to xyz reasons, so remember before the results, if the selectors feel that some good candidate has got less votes or not been nominated, the selectors will have the VETO power to bring that person directly into the team *** So, please apply some rationale before you nominate & ensure that every deserving guy gets a chance...

Deadline: 04.08.2012, 5 PM

Phase 1 results to be declared: 05.08.2012 (Tentatively)

Announcement of Dream Team 2012: 12.08.2012 ( Tentatively )

Those whom you know are deserving and are not active on pg, ask them to put forth their nominations , update their mock scores and be active on PG from now on.

PS: Slight change in selection process has been made to ensure that no case of fake posting happens as well as selected team remains active on forum.

PPS: We request everyone to keep updating the scores in repository at regular basis from now.

Last date has been kept to take care of getting sufficient mock scores by then.

Cheers,
Varun
