Online Sudoku Championship

August 31, 2006

I came across this site through Passion for Puzzles: Online Sudoku Championship 2006. Players compete in a multiplayer format where the grid is filled for all players simultaneously and points are scored for filling in a number correctly.

Advancing to the final round means a trip to London to compete live against other finalists from around the world.

The contest hasn’t started yet, but the site is open for practice.
