The 8th Philippine Sudoku Super Challenge (PSSC) regional round yielded 233 winners, making their way to the national finals to be held at 4F, SM North, The Annex in Quezon City on Saturday, February 1, 2014.

The challengers coming from almost all regions in the Philippines will come face to face as they vie for the titles, Sudoku whiz Kid, Sudoku wizard and Sudoku grandmaster winners. Obvious it may seem that this search makes the fate of the few puzzlers set in stone as the next champs to represent the country in puzzle contests abroad.

As usual, the PSSC requires every finalist to get one’s act together in order to deal with the challenge more efficiently. More often than not, it takes speed and accuracy to reach the finish line. In other words, national finalists of the 8th PSSC must leave no stone unturned to find their own techniques to solve accurately the contest puzzles in every round.

The Sudoku finalists whose names are listed below should make a confirmation of their willingness to participate in the national finals through Mr. Vaughn Gesulga at email address, mtg.sudoku@gmail.com on or before January 2, 2014. Please do not forget to indicate the subject header of your email letter as: Yes … 8th PSSC!!!

In addition, the national qualifiers are requested to provide the contact person the following information:

• Name:
• Gender (sex):
• Grade/year level (if student):
• School/Company name:
• Category (Whizkid / Wizard / Grandmaster):
• Place/Venue of the Regional Elimination held:

The 8th PSSC national finalists must understand that their role after winning the contest is to represent the Philippines in Sudoku competitions abroad. Therefore, as early as now the possible winners must be aware that their cash prizes will be used for their travel expenses. As such, the winners must further understand that the organizer will keep their cash prizes and only the excess amount (should there be any) will be handed to them.

Furthermore, the national winners of the 7th PSSC held in January 2013 are automatically participants to join these lists of qualified national finalists of the 8th PSSC.

These are the lists of qualified national finalists of the 8th PSSC.
