I am very disappointed about the puzzle booklets and their layout. I prefer 2 grids per page, so I opened the document with 9 pages. But the grids were toooooo small. Nevertheless I printed it out and start solving. In the puzzles like Latin Square, Killer, Sudoku and Dragons I-II there were no space to write digits not even pencilmarks. So I needed to print also some pages from the bigger document. Then revealed another problem - the logo (pretty nice logo by the way) waste out all my printing color.
On the other hand, I enjoy solving the sudokus. Those under 60 points vere absolutely easy and the rest was very pretty solvable. My tactic was to skip the Symbols and solve the rest, but I made stupid counting mistake at Arrows and solved them twice, that is why I missed reltively easy Brickdoku and Skyscrapers.

Request players not to post (screenshots of) results before the contest is over. It gives, however slight, advantage to players who haven't solved yet.
