The rules can be found in toi.in/sudoku. A city round can have at the max one experienced solver as qualifier and the National Finals can have at the max two experienced participants among the four selected. Here experienced category refers to a participant who has represented India in WSC A team or B team. |

The largest base would be this site itself, I think. Archived beginners' contests - http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/downloads.asp?testType=10 Archived Monthly contests (higher difficulty, more variety, closer to the WSC format) - http://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/downloads.asp?puzzleTypes=S As you can see on the above link, there were 7 Sudoku Mahabharat rounds last year and that has been announced again this year, with dates to be released soon, so just keep tabs on the forum and participate in this year's 8 rounds, and also look into those archives and time yourself in an entire contest for practice. Solving an entire contest simulates the actual competition scenario way better than solving single Sudokus at random. There is also the World Sudoku Grand Prix which unfortunately just got over this year but will start up again next year most likely in January. This is the site - http://gp.worldpuzzle.org/ If you are interested in just leisure time solving there are many great blogs by world class Sudoku authors which can be reached here - http://logicmastersindia.com/home/?g=links You can also check GM Puzzles - http://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/ It is largely a puzzle site but there are a good number of Sudokus too. At the start I mostly just participated in LMI contests and downloaded older contests to time myself. I do puzzles too (and am more of a puzzle fan than Sudoku) but I don't think that has a huge correlation to my speed other than increasing my adaptability to newer variations. |
