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.

Thanks Rajesh for clarifying. Venue details are already posted, multiple times in this thread. It is unfortunate that participants don't read it.

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.

Wow 2000+ is really a very good number, its great that now people are showing interest in these events. I wish that it will turn out to be a grand event at all places.
Sadly this time I won't be able to participate in ISC.
