A real Buzz! for students in the UK


TO PROMOTE the interactive PlayStation quiz game Buzz! PlayStation have signed up 24 of the UK's biggest unis to take part in a nationwide competition to find the brainiest (very much like University Challenge). It is called Buzz! Clash of the Unis (http://buzzthenation.com/)

On the 24th March, PlayStation will be running a series of on campus events at rival universities Loughborough and Aston. On this day, the cleverest participants will be selected to go head to head with their rival uni’s Buzz! team that night. The two unis will compete against each other by playing Buzz on the online PlayStation network.

The winners of the local rounds will not only win spot prizes on the night, and the pride of hammering their rival campus, but they'll also win a load of points towards their uni's leader-board total in the nationwide competition.

The competition dates are below:

Durham Vs. UEA 15th March
Nottingham Trent Vs. Staffordshire 17th March
Royal Holloway Vs. LSE 19th March
Loughborough Vs. Aston 24th March
Sheffield Hallam Vs. Sheffield 26th March

Once all the heats have taken place, they will announce the winning university at the end of March and they will win a massive 'House Party' for their campus worth £25k.

So, get your Buzzers at the ready!
