hey can't we have the finals online?
is it necessary to be in Banglore for the finals??

The World Sudoku Championship is an offline event where every participant solves with paper-pencil. So, to get the best players, it is better to conduct the finals in a replicative format of the WSC. Hence, the need of an offline event.
Besides, there is no control over players in the online mode, and players 'may' use unfair means.

my point value for irregular sudoku is very low( took nearly 40 min to solve 59 pointer)...i think i am missing some basic steps used for solving it...could people let me know the methods they use??

why is it that some people are registered and some aren't ???
I do understand that some might have created an a/c on the site but it is necessary really to have one??

I too am facing the same dilemma!!!

First thing Ujjawal, are you one person or two??? when you say I too am facing the same dilemma, we assume its 2 people with same id...

Registered users are those who are registered at the LMI site... for this years ISC/IPC it doesnt make a difference if you are registered or not since a lot of people who qualified at various offline regional rounds need not be members at LMI.

You need to be registered only IF you decide to take part in any online test/competition being held at the LMI site.

Thanks Rishi for explaining.

Just to repeat, the registered field does not have any weightage. It is just a tool for us to track.

If that matters, your name should be showing as registered now.
You registered today, there was no way we could show you as registered earlier.

i haven't yet recieved the verification email for IPC-2011. And in the qualifiers page, mine status too is showing unregistered. i have registered in this website 2 months ago.

again, Please send me the verification e-mail for IPC-2011.
