Either case I am fine, if it's fair for all.
This format is likely to reward consistent players, as it is you guys are more experienced in handling this |

About the format,
These four rounds will be the only rounds and the winner will be by scores or there will be semis/playoffs after these rounds There is no semis/playoffs.
If anyone is having concerns about that, they should post in forum.
Need more playoff practice if we are to attend bangkok and singapore tournaments.
What the germans do is that the team is decided on the top 4 of the league rounds but the national champion is decided by the playoffs and finals.
Any specific reason for this format? |

The purpose of IPC is to select team for WSC, not to provide practice for Bangkok and Singapore tournaments :- )
Here is one of many reasons - We can have at most 4 hours solving time (considering that lot of players are flying in and flying out same day ). If we add playoffs and finals, it will take anywhere between 90~120 minutes. It is not fair that the so much time is reserved only for top x players.

Fair enough. I dont have any idea about any of the commercials or any other constraints. Sorry that my contribution has been nil this year. |

And there should be some playable links in Argio, if I'm correct.
here are some from old mocks -
Average Sudoku - mock14
Kropki - mock16, mock19
XV - mock18, mock19 |

Since people will be starting on their journeys in 2 days time.. I want to take opportunity to wish all of you the very best at the ISC/IPC. May the best player win. It's a pity I wont be able to make it.
