Wonderful tournament!
Many thanks to Deb for his several weeks of dedicated work in getting 40+ contestants all over the country to take part in IS&PC this year. There were champions, experts and newcomers amongst us. And we happened to meet and greet each other. I think that was the most important take away of this event.

Thanks Harmeet.
It is important to recognize several other names who spent lot of time in the background to make the events as successful as it was. It will be tough to list down all the details here, but let me specify the important ones.
First and foremost, Neeraj Mehrotra - He took care of the competition hall completely make sure that there is absolutely no glitch during the event. It is always a big task to do, but it was completely seemless to me, and as long as Neeraj was there, I was least worried about anything other that the actual competition.
Zalak took care of all the small details needed during the competition allowing me to focus more on the puzzle related stuff.
Rohan got the certificates designed really well (I continued to discard all the designs, and at one stage I was afraid that he might just give up). The printing part of the certificate was done by Zalak again.
The very beautiful trophies were designed by Amit. Amit couldn't make it to the event, but without his feedback on the rounds structure, the puzzle and sudoku rounds could have been less interesting.
Akash, Neeraj, Rishi, Rohan, Zalak also doubled up as regional coordinators contacting all participants and updating them about the events.

Just one word for the event - FANTABULOUS!!!!
Thanks to Deb, for all his efforts and hard work without which it wouldn't have been this successful. Also, thanks to Neeraj, Akash, Rishi, Rohan and Zalak for the small roles they played :)

Glad I could be of help!
This was my first IPC and ISC; and I thoroughly enjoyed it.. It was wonderful to meet everyone. And not to forget the most important thing, puzzles/sudokus were amazing, loved solving them! I solved most of what I couldnt during the test as soon as I was back home :)

And I forgot to mention all the volunteers, who spent most part of their weekends at the event.
After every round, we were able to check the answers and publish the results before next round starts. It was only possible because of them.
Amit Agrawal, Kshitij Sharma, Samyuktha Ramesh (all 3 should be familiar names to most of you) and Abinash, Divya, Himanshu, Neha, Sumit.

Great Event. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Hats off to Deb and team for conducting such a fantastic event.
Learned quite a lot by getting chance to chat with stalwarts (specially Rajesh).
Many thanks to Deb and team (Amit, Akash, Neeraj, Rishi, Rohan, Zalak).
Tons of thanks to all volunteers: Amit Agrawal, Kshitij Sharma, Samyuktha Ramesh, Abinash, Divya, Himanshu, Neha and Sumit.
Sudokus and puzzles were very good and especially sudokus in third round (good surprise to see anti-variants) and fourth round (bit of twist to find out classic and variant).
