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

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?


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.

In case if any of Top 4 from TSC final has already qualified through ISC, then how will the next participant for Team B will qualify? through ISC/TSC?

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.

Does anyone who checked my puzzle know or remember what mistakes and how many mistakes I had made in my submission? I was in the Mumbai round. I had submitted as soon as I finished solving, without checking the solutions even once. I think I probably missed filling in a cell or so. I realized how grave a mistake I had made after the paper left my hands.

I remember checking your sheet and you ended up making mistakes in 4 puzzles, most of which were trivial errors.
Without these error you would have been in second place. You have good speed, but need to work on avoiding the errors.
