New website: TVC's will now be held under LMI instead of OAPC site. Fixed competition time does not allow to welcome many participants, and OAPC site does not have the option to hold contests with flexible times. So we offered LMI this test and they kindly found a place for us in their tight schedule. Thanks to LMI!
Concept: The contests will last four weeks, one small contest in every two weeks. The first contest
(TVC V
) will be held in February 5th-6th 2011. The following ones will be February 19th-20th, March 5th-6th and March 19th-20th. Duration of the test will be 75 minutes.
There will be winners of every week, and at the end of the four contests there will be a Tapa variations winner, determined with the sum of points earned in all four weeks. Winner of 2010 was Nikola Zivanovic from Serbia.
Contribution: We would be pleased to receive any ideas on possible Tapa variations. If you have such ideas, please share your opinions under this topic so we can consider preparing those types in following weeks.
