It is JNPC alright. But I think you guessed that it is "Japanese National Puzzle Championship", it actually stands for "Japanese Number Place Championship", and contains 25 sudokus. From what I can manage to grasp from the translation, IB is to be released on Feb 24th.

Attached find my attempt to glean the rules of the puzzles using a combination of reading the example solution, Google translate, and lots of thinking.

In a row, if a cell has an even digit in its left and also an even digit on its right, the cell's digit is written outside the row.
In a column, if a cell has an even digit on its top and also an even digit on its bottom, the cell's digit is written outside the column.

basically even digits both ways.

Can someone confirm the start time of the championship in IST?
Is it 08:00? 09:00? 09:30?

19 puzzles solved for 371 points. Spent too much time solving poker, got totally lost in descriptive pair, and messed up symbol and dominoes. Not bad compared to my horrendous mock 14 performance today.
