1. Pricing Factors:
It takes an incredible amount of time and effort for us to prepare for, and run the league. The cost of participating in this quiz league is determined by mainly three factors:
1. The effort needed to research, prepare, and edit the quiz questions (including finding, editing/making, and curating the audiovisuals).
2. The effort required to set up and maintain the online infrastructure for running the league smoothly.
3. The effort required for the regular communication with the participants and the readers.
2. Mandatory Reading Requirement:
Every participant is expected to serve as a reader for at least one game during the 8-week league.
"Reading a game" means proctoring/moderating a quiz session, which involves reading the questions and handling the quiz scorer app (passing, marking correct/wrong etc). Read this for extensive details regarding the same.
3. Opt-out of Reading Option:
If you choose not to fulfil the mandatory reading requirement, you will be charged an additional fee of 20% on top of the base price (regular registration fee). Base price is ₹1000 OR £12 OR €13 OR $13 per participant.
You have the option to pay this extra charge either before the league starts (if you already know you won't be reading any games) or after it ends (if you couldn't find a suitable slot or time to read a game).
4. Earn Back Registration Fee:
The league offers the opportunity to earn back your registration fee by serving as a reader for league games.
For each game you read, you have two options:
1. Earn 20% of your registration fee back as credit, which you can use to offset the cost of participating in the next season.
2. Earn 15% of your registration fee back in cash.
Note that for currencies other than the Indian Rupee, conversion rates (from Indian Rupee) at the end of the season will be applied, which may not be the same as the ones at the beginning.
5. Total Number of Games to Earn Full Fee Back:
You can fully recoup your registration fee by reading a certain number of games. The following is the numbers based on a regular ticket. For discounted or free tickets, it will be lesser or none (but everyone, irrespective of the ticket is eligible to earn League Credits and cash).
1. To earn the full registration fee back as credit for the next season, you just need to read six games.
2. To earn the full registration fee back in cash, you just need to read eight games (just one every week on an average).
This structure not only covers the logistical aspects of the league, but also offers you participants an avenue to recoup your investment as well as better retain in memory what you learned during their own matches, by actively participating in running the games.
