there it's written " the fourth best" does it mean the top 4 scores or the 4th scorer will be scaled under 100?

there it's written " the fourth best" does it mean the top 4 scores or the 4th scorer will be scaled under 100?

The 4th scorer will be scaled to 100, so that means 3 scores will be above 100.

It was my first offline sudoku competition. Event was well organised and had fun solving variety of sudokus. Second round was brutal specially got stuck on LK & Kropki dots sudoku. 4th round's "unusual" pairing of sudokus was interesting too.

ISC/IPC 2024 was a fun 2 day event ! Like every other year, the weekend of the contest just went very fast.
I very much enjoyed the contest sudokus/ puzzles and realize I have a tremendous scope for improvement in sudokus and puzzles.
Already looking forward to the WSPC, 2024 in Beijing.
Thank you to all the wonderful authors who contributed to the event and for giving us good solving material !! Thanks to the organizers Prasanna and Ashish and to the volunteers as well for helping out !

Thank you for this memorable ISC! The sudokus rounds were highly absorbing. "Anything Unusual?" was immensely enjoyable. Particularly, I loved the construction pair of Renban/German Whispers Sudoku. Round 3 was tough for me. Need to practice more on linked puzzles. Once again... Thank you Authors and the Organizers.

It was a great experience particiapting in the ISC! Though I didn't have a good start, round 3 went pretty well and I could finish at a good position. The sudokus were of great quality. Some of my favourites include Killer from round 2, Thermo & Slot Machine from round 4 and obviously the entire round 3. Looking forward to solving the remaining sudokus which I couldn't solve during the contest.

Thanks a lot to the authors and the testers for the sudokus! Also, thanks a lot to Ashish and to the volunteers!
