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,

@DEBJITNAG , @the_hate , @shashank3012 , @ravi.tejapalla , @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. Storiesof 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 2014.

Hereby, we announce the nominations for Dream Team 2014 to be open.

A few details for those who don't know:

What is thread all about??

This thread is the place where an individual comes & nominates his dream team in the following Order, Captain, Vice Captain, 9 other members.

The person also mentions the reason (definitely with the link to mock CAT scores) why he wants Mr.X or Mr.Y in his team...

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) @grondmaster : Community Manager/Moderator and knows PG in and out.

2) Yours Truely (@kinji.at.pg1 ).

Rules:

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

2. Don't comment on someone else team.

3. Don't market for your team or for any member of you team.

4. Please don't forget 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???

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 15-20 puys (tentatively).

Phase 2:

Selectors will talk to these 15-20 puys to have a discussion about their performance in mocks, activity on PG and views on being part of Team. Please note that selectors reserve the right to ask for LinkedIn account or FB account, Contact Number or Test Series results screenshots for authentication reasons. Failure to provide these as and when asked during selection process will lead to rejection.

After this talk, announcement of final team for season 2014 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 for nominations: 13.09.2014, 11:59 PM (Saturday)

Phase 1 results to be declared: 14.09.2014 (Sunday)

Announcement of Dream Team 2014: 21.09.2014 ( 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.

Other members of the team (truly on the basis of their knowledge in the domain of CAT):

@Highway66  @harshcat91  @jp_1991 @Rohit143 @shawshanks @vipin011 @cristianokaka @rgvcat_2013 

I'd like to nominate @anitsuri1990  as captain purely on his performances. With Vc @shashwatdgr8 for his consistency , @Burgundy for his ability. @swapnil4ever2u for his quant prowess which he under-rates, @Shubh.i & @sagarcat  for their help on quant thread, @a-jay ,@ferlonso(this guy's been rank 3 since forever in almost all mocks)  , @christianbale(come on! because he's batman)  and last but certainly not the least @Highway66  these guys inspire me to do better with their performances in mock tests or their ability & speed in the quant thread. Special mentions @neorevlutn  and @rafaroger who have some serious quant talent.

I know he has the potential, and with a (supposedly) lower effect of normalization this time, he's certainly gonna shine. Hope you end up at WIMWI, buddy 😃
