ABOUT THE EVENT:
The object of the JAM EVENT is for panellists to talk for sixty seconds on a given subject, "without hesitation, repetition or deviation". The comedy comes from attempts to keep within these rules and the banter among the participants.
The judges for the event were
1.Siddharth - student RITM Final year
2.Ragvendra Sir - Assistant prof of legal studies at Reva University
The three basic rules applied
- "Hesitation" is watched very strictly: a momentary pause in speaking can give rise to a successful challenge, as can tripping over one's words. Even pausing during audience laughter or applause (known as "riding a laugh") can be challenged.
- "Repetition" means the repetition of any word or phrase, although challenges based upon very common words such as "and" are generally rejected except in extreme cases. Words contained in the given subject are now exempt unless repeated many times in quick succession, although this was a later addition to the rules. Skilful players use synonyms to avoid repeating themselves. Even letters may not be repeated.
- "Deviation" originally meant deviating from the given subject, but gradually evolved to also include "deviating from the English language as we know it", "deviation from grammar as we understand it", deviating from the truth, and deviating from logic. Nevertheless, leaps into the surreal are usually allowed.
Round 1:
Each individual was given a topic and had to speek for 60 seconds.Out of 25 participants 10 of them were selected to the round 2 . The selection was based on the above mentioned parameters
Round 2:
This round each had to pick a issue and talk. But in this round there was back firing of the judges also.
