The quiz was a decent debut effort though very very short. A 30 question elim was followed by a 24 question final . Just 24 questions in an Open quiz was a bit of a disappointment. There were a few repeated questions , quite a few sitters and some arbit stuff , but this could all be forgiven since it was after all their first time.
A few positives about the quiz were the punctuality - The quiz started and ended on time and the fact that they used IR and not D&P as most new QMs end up using.

The fact that both QMs are Open quiz regulars probably helped in choosing IR over D&P.

The team that won the Harry Potter - Friends quiz actually cribbed that they shouldn't have used IR.
