Thanks Deb... Yes there was a trophy and a cash prize of $2000 dollars, with a tax deduction of 5%. For a change an entire tournament went off without me leaving a blank cell or making an error :)
Congratulations Rishi !!! - for 2nd place AND more importantly, for a submission-error-free tournament !!
Where can I see the final results? And, by how much did you miss the 1st place?
Thanks Rakesh, yes this is my second consecutive tournament which was submission-error-free :) Utkarsh has posted the result link... In the finals there was only 1 Samurai sudoku, and if no one had completed, they would count the number of correctly filled cells and ranked accordingly... so I guess I missed the 1st position by 15-20 cells :)
