On the 9th of August, 2017, the knights of Excalibur returned with the third season of their ultimate sports quiz called "QUIZCALIBUR” the Ultimate Sports Quiz. This quiz composed of 5 rounds pertaining to sports and it was bigger and better than ever before.

The next round was called "Pehchaan Kaun” in which participants had to identify different audio or video clip. The 4th round was named "Dil Maange Score” followed by our 5th and final round called "Adrenaline Rush”, quite typical of the name as the last round decided our winners, so it meant nothing but WAR.

There was a footfall of 93 teams, each team consisting of 2 members and the competition level was real hard. With stakes raised higher than ever, each team gave their best shot and had the three best teams come out triumphant all because of their shining intellect in the field of sports.
