To both of the last two messages, we apologize for the delay in starting up the registration process for the event. We had some difficulties finalizing a venue because of some complications with our planned one. The top 60 will get a chance to attend by default, and we will extend further only if the venue allows for the numbers after the top 60's details of attendance are confirmed. All other details will be announced soon, tentatively expected by first week of May.

SM/PR 2017. Would you be sending invites to all those who qualify as per the rules or is it a general registration by all & any one ?
Request to please also clarify - Apart from the TEAM A B C from India for the WSC/WPC based on the Nationals can and how do others participate in it as guests ?

Hi. As per the below post in the same thread, the Top 60 will be invited for the Finals at the beginning and further invitations will be sent only after the receipt of confirmation from the Top 60 and if venue restrictions permit.

The second question will be answered by the WSPC organizers.

In general, we have covered our decisions on Participation limits for WSPC in the relevant topic on the WSPC website - http://wspc2017.logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?... As hosts, LMI will be following the same considerations we have set for other countries - we will have an A and a B team, but further than that, we will only reach out to participants if the venue restrictions permit the same after considering overall registration numbers. Also, any priorities and other considerations will always be made according to the rankings of the Indian Sudoku/Puzzle Championship. You can also find other information about guest fees and so on on the WSPC website - http://wspc2017.logicmastersindia.com/

Its pretty clear that Team A for WSC/WPC will be selected through this offline events, i.e., Top 4 contestants of ISC/IPC. But, how the Team B for WSC/WPC will be selected??

Just like the previous year, Team B will comprise people who finish in the top 4 of TIMES sudoku Championship(provided TSC happens).If there is a overlap of contestants between the finalists of TSC and SM , then people further down the ranks in SM finals will fill the remaining spots.

Team B selected via this mode (TSC or SM/ISC as the case maybe) will be representing WSC only or both WSC & WPC. Or there is Team B only for WSC and no Team B for WPC.

Team B selected vide TSC is for representation only in WSC.Team WPC(A/B/C) will consist entirely of persons finishing at the top of the table in PR finals.But keep in mind that the existence of B and C Teams is ONLY if the venue permits that . You can also read through the poll discussion http://wspc2017.logicmastersindia.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?...
