A format was developed and given to students in five groups and each group was asked to choose a spokesperson and also assign a name to the team. Eco Friendly Sikhs, Warriors, United Eco Friendly, Fantastic four, Famous five were the names suggested and employed by the teams. The scores were given on the name proposed and question being asked.
