You are definitely high-strung what it will be like and you haven’t had an opportunity to meet the system and its essentials, so we’ve decided to help you and prepared a test-tournament with classical puzzles only.
We would like to thank our friendly FED sudoku, server whose authors allowed us to use some puzzles from their archives.

From lifting the password you will have20 minutes to solve and send the solutions.
This test-tournament expires at 8:00 pm (GMT + 1 hour) on January 14, 2009.
The rules are the same as those valid for sudokucup 2009. You can learn more in the Rules section.
We also prepared some information and references they can help you, they are at the Instruction section.
The PDF assignment file with the password is at this address.
The file has 630 kB.

The file contains 5 classical puzzles of various difficulty, its point classification is as follows:

• 1/5 – classical puzzle – 10 points – enter answers into Classical
• 2/5 – classical puzzle – 15 points – enter answers into Multi
• 3/5 – classical puzzle – 20 points – enter answers into Killer
• 4/5 – classical puzzle – 25 points – enter answers into Kropki
• 5/5 – classical puzzle – 30 points – enter answers into Mathdoku

At the beginning of the test puzzle booklet there is an introduction page and the page with the list of puzzles, so if you want to save paper, you can leave it out at printing.
The test-tournament is prepared with modified design and if there are some problems with printing, let us know here, please. We also appreciate positive response, especially in case of printing improvements.

To participate in the test-tournament it is necessary to lift the password. You can find it at the Password section.

In each puzzle there are marked lines and columns that must be sent. The process of sending is described and explained at the Rules section.
Complete the lines/columns in the ready-made form at the submission of the solution.
Disregard the names of particular puzzles in the ready-made form (Classical, Multi, …) considering the fact they are test puzzles and enter your answers into five first answer boxes. (That’s why you have to enter 3 answers for the 2nd puzzle).

Please be tolerant with possible disadvantages because it is the test-tournament and we want to debug them in this way.

We hope the results of the test-tournament will be before the beginning of the Sudokucup. All the information relating to the test-tournament is in this message. Do not try to look for them anywhere else, there are only information relating to the sudokucup.

Enjoy your play!
