Will the format of the other regional rounds be similar to the one in Bangalore? As in, 6x6s to determine the first round eliminations and then 9x9s with variants in the next rounds?

yes it would have been better if there was an online round also.Also the timing in july is also not right for students from bihar as they are busy with their exams. I'm from patna,bihar and like last year i have to miss ISC 2012 as my exams are from 16 july.

The World Championships take place in October-November, so the nationals have to be held before August. Almost all institutes in India follow a June-April or July-May academic calendar, so January-April is a busy month for most students preparing for their final examinations. So, May-June-July is the best time for these championships and it is unfortunate that it clashes with your exams.

Well I'm sure you could find a few exams scheduled in June too. Its always gonna be close to or clashing with something, its really difficult to plan a National level Championship to suit everyone. It was held in June last year, and for whatever reasons, some top players (Jaipal, Rakesh amongst them who have already qualified for the finals this year) couldn't make it, so you just have to hope you get your chance next time if you really can't make it this time.
