I don't expect lot of discussion about this little tournament here, so I didn't open a new thread.

"Players occupying the two top spots in each classification of the first round will play the 2nd round for places 1 – 4 of the final ranking. Players occupying the third and fourth places in each classification will play the 2nd round for places 5 – 8 of the final ranking, and so on !"

Interesting.
What happens to players down the order in the set having higher participants? If there are 50-even and 75-odd, what about players ranked 51-75 in odd?

My friend asked me this question, so I posted on his behalf. He wanted to know if the grouping will still be in sets of 4 or would it be possible to pit against everyone else (Like 51-75, all play round 2 against each other).

He likes round 2 very much, he doesnt like relay

I think your comment answers my question :-)

In fact... I have no answer, that's why I posted a provocative message

. I've not yet decided what I'll do in that case, but probably the set of 4 players will go on. And players who didn't take part in 1st round, only in 2nd, will be ranked at the end of the tournament's ranking, but I'll also make a ranking of the single 2nd round, so if someone wants to play only the 2nd round, it's not a problem.

Ranking of 1st round:

http://sudokuvariante.forumactif.com/h17-tournoi-du-forum-2012-clas...

2 players dominated very clearly in each ranking: Kota was impressive in the "odd" path, which was a bit harder than the "even" path, where Tiit had no problem to win !

I know that relay is something a bit special, not always easy for players. When there is a mistake, it's hard to fix it without loose a big amount of time. I would thank all participants for playing this special round and invite you in round 2 this weekend.

The groups for round 2 are:

Other players can also play if they want !

Arrow Sudoku and Extra Region Sudoku were brilliant. I've seen your usual extra-region creation-style of having 4 symmetric regions, and this was one of your best.

I enjoyed both the rounds. Missed the easy steps for a long time on Sequences, and but for a little typo on the Killer answer key which I corrected later, I would've still had a time of 59 minutes according to Fred, which is pretty decent. The grids were great fun, especially Extra Regions and Arrows like Rohan said.

Congrats Rohan for a very nice second round, and Prasanna for an excellent overall performance ! It is good to see that India keeps getting stronger. As a test-solver I must agree that I loved Extra Region Sudoku, although my other favorite was the Killer instead of the Arrow. Really a great set of puzzles, thanks Fred.

Thank you. Killer's my favorite variant, so I decided not to pick that one as I'd obviously be biased. But I did love the big 28-42 cages design.
