The IB has been published. I'm aware that some of the letters are misaligning on the images. Since these are copied from previous IBs where they showed up fine on the PDFs, I'm yet to figure out the reason for this but the PB images will not have the issue.

New version of the IB uploaded.
Changes:
1) Points distribution added.
2) Minor change to rules of Pyramid Climber to address the fact that one of the 'climbers' will remain in the bottom row.
3) Changes to rules of Overlap to address the fact that the competition puzzles may not have just 'lines' as before, but also 'elements' in cells, and what this implies for the 'non-element' part of the cells.

The rule changes in points 2 and 3 are highlighted in red in the IB. They will NOT be highlighted the same way in the PB but the rules will be consistent.

Also, the start time has been delayed by an hour, the end time has also been proportionally adjusted.

Though I could solve limited puzzles, really liked the ones I could solve. Specially the 2nd Word Labyrinth. Took a lot of time to figure the deduction with the O-s and it was a smooth solve from there! Thanks Priyam and Prasanna for the set!
