Have people heard about the Sudoku Championship taking place in Philly October 19 through 21? Will Shortz is hosting. www.philly.com/sudoku. I'm helping organize if you have any questions. It's open to all levels and top prize is $10,000, plus trip to India to represent the U.S. in the World Sudoku competition.

LIVE! U.S. Sudoku Championship in October

[narri]

Some early questions:
What are the prizes for places 2 and 3 in each section (and lower places, if any)?
What is the significance of the bonus round?
Who (either person or computer program) will create the puzzles?

[rausland]

Will Shortz is responsible for the puzzles. There are prizes based on age categories. It's $100 per category. As of now, no prizes for 2nd or 3rd place. More answers at: http://www.philly.com/philly/comics_games/sudoku/8058927.html

Will Shortz is responsible for the puzzles.

Yes, but, as is well known, he doesn´t compile them himself. Who has the honour?
