Hey, what kind of SUDOKU are there in Times Sudoku Championship, and what is the time limit?
Can anyone provide the details please?
If details not known! Can you please tell the last years' format?


Last year:
Round 1 had 4 (not 8 right, someone confirm) easy Classic Sudokus, in something like 20 minutes, with the top 100-ish advancing to the next round.


Yes.It had 4 as a preliminary qualification to advance to the next round.

The next round had 4 Classics and 4 variants (Trio, Odd Even, Diagonal, Alphabet) to be done in either 30 or 40 minutes, where the top 3 were chosen for the National Finals.


The above mentioned 8 was to be done in 60 mins.

A few quick questions:
1) The A-Team for the WSC will be the Top 4 from ISC? So if any of the TSC final 4 does not happen to be in the ISC Top-4, they would be in the B-team?
2) What happens if the top 'experienced solver' from a city is also from the 2014 contingent? Does someone else get invited to make up the 3 member group from the city for the final in Mumbai?
3) When is the Mumbai finals expected to be on?
4) "There are two rounds for selection of the top four candidates of each city.". Should that be "top three" instead?

Yes

2014 contingent (Rohan, Prasanna, Rishi and Sumit get a bye for the finals). At most one experienced solver apart from these 4 will get selected from each city.

3) When is the Mumbai finals expected to be on?


I believe it has been announced in the advertisements. The date is 2nd August.

4) "There are two rounds for selection of the top four candidates of each city.". Should that be "top three" instead?


Yes you are right. I will get this changed.

Couple of things to say about last year's paper and print quality.
1 - Previous Year the shaded cells in odd-even Sudoku is very dark and digit written by pencil is not visible easily its good if shaded cells are lighter like light blue color etc.

2- When I rubbed the whole grid the white lines(non-bold line) also get erased.


Couple of more questions :

1 - Is same Sudoku's will appear that appear last year.

2- Is there will be instruction provided on the same day i.e on the competition day or just a day before the competition.

"The twelve participants from the four regional rounds will compete with the four members of the Indian contingent from 2014. "
Can someone explain this point please.

Competition day.


"The twelve participants from the four regional rounds will compete with the four members of the Indian contingent from 2014. "

Total 16 players in the finals. 4 from last year (Rohan, Prasanna, Rishi, Sumit). And 3 from each of the four cities.

Hi. In general you will receive the confirmation message with venue and time slot instantly. Can you specify the city where you will be participating and the message format you sent.

There is no other choice other than to register again but your time slot for the prelims (may) be a bit delayed.

Participated in the Delhi championship today.
Not too good a performance as completed all the grids in 50 minutes.
First three were less than 40 minutes - congrats to them great show.
But dont know what is the other's ranking?
Suggest in future all who have completed all the grids in stipulated time be called in front on stage and the three winner are announced from the lot.
