so the mumbai preliminary is on 15th na??

Are you asking a question or are you making a statement?

Rohan Rao - 2012-06-29 8:31 PM

What are the timings of the regional rounds?

When you register via SMS, you will get a time slot.

akash.doulani - 2012-06-29 9:55 PM

will the pattern of sudokus be the same for all regional rounds ?

Depends.

Is there any plan for an event in Hyderabad region as well?

Hi - When would this be held in Kolkata ?

Does it mean that there will not be any round in Hyderabad region?

As per current information from the Times of India newspaper event will be only in four cities Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai.
Venue details are already published in this thread for these cities. Registration process will be by SMS and I think will start 1 week earlier than the regional round.

These questions have already received an answer, please read carefully the thread...

- Registration process starts about one week before each round, so I guess the SMS code for Mumbai is not known yet.
- Regarding details about the contests themselves, it has been said that no instruction booklet will be published. It looks like you have to register, then go to the place where the tournament is held... and see what happens !

Quite disappointed with the timing this time. 4 days before the event its announced??? and without any publicity at all?? I'm from Bangalore and I just now get to know that the event is tomorrow.. not all people are free every sunday.. atleast a week's time to make ourselves free would have been great.. of wat I see.. 36 posts to this thread.. seems it might turn out to be an empty affair at bangalore tomorrow..

Shilo... Surprisingly there are millions of people in Bangalore who read the newspapers and are gearing up... You will be surprised at the turnout. sometimes, it is better to keep following the news rather than check at the last minute.

Thank you for your prediction. We have 2000+ people registered for the event via SMS. I hope some of them will turn up and it won't be an empty event. And I know quite a few people who are coming from as far as Hyderabad to Bangalore.
