SPE Khazar University Chapter represented Azerbaijan at PetroBowl regional qualifier in London on 17 March 2015.
16 Teams from the most known petroleum institutes of Europe have been compeeting for a right to participate in the Championship contest at the 2015 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in Houston.
Khazar team consisting of 2 players instead of usual 4, shown great knowledge and coordination taking the second place.
Rounds were as follows:
- Khazar University vs Rober Gordon University
- Khazar Universtiy vs Stavanger University
- Khazar University vs Politecnico Di Torino
- Khazar University(2nd) vs Delft University(1st)
We sincerely congratulate Masail Guliyev and Farid Qurbanov of Khazar University Chapter.
Here is proud players describe their game:
"Honestly, toss up questions were very hard. First game was easy . Because we didn't let the Robert Gorgon University to answer anything(they even had some wrong answers and their total was less than 0 points)"
"Second game was head to head untill the last 3 minutes. We were passing by each other at each question. But final question was answered by Masail and we won Stavangers at last minute with 10 points difference!"
"Actually 3-rd team was also strong enough. They also won a game against Salford University like 90 - 10 or something like that but with us questions were very tough and they answered many questions wrong and they couldn't catch us at all. Final result was -10 to 67 i guess"
"For the final round. We were head to head for 1-st part(it was 29 to 30) but for the second part we were a bit tired I guess."
