Location: India | Sounds good... and I guess we will be missing quite a few Czech Players for this mock as they have their national championship on the 28th.... All the best to them.... |
| |
|
Location: India | What are the timings for Czech championship?
US championship is also on 28th. But that starts after our Mock is over.
Should we consider changing the timing of Mock18 to accommodate these 2 championships?
OR
Should we make it 48 hours?
OR
Leave it as scheduled for 24 hours!

Location: India | I think we can leave it as a 24hr championship.... Since our mock starts at 8Pm IST on 27th which is sat morning for US... I Think the US and the Czech players can/may play on saturday night our time as practice for their respective national championships.... |

Location: India | Since the championships are on Sunday, if we can prepone the mock start time it might be a boon for Czech and US players to practise prior to their championships.
Something like 5pm IST (Sat) to 8pm IST (Sunday).
I would still prefer 48hrs: 8pm IST (Fri) to 8pm IST (Sunday).
I mean, what difference does it make in having 48hrs instead of 24hrs? It would only attract more participants, definitely not less! (Take Sudokucup for example!) |

Location: United States | For reference, Mock Test 17 was from 10:30 AM on Saturday to 10:30 AM Sunday in my time zone (Eastern Daylight Time, GMT-4). The US championship is 1PM on Sunday in the same time zone. I don't think you have to do anything with regards to the US championship at least (though I don't know the timings on the Czech championship). I would go with Rohan's suggestion of adding 24 hours to the beginning of the normal mock test period, especially if my guess that the Czechs have an all-day offline championship is correct. |

Location: India | In fact, (if the puzzles are ready in time) a 48hr window can work better for ALL mocks, not just this time. |

Location: India | Exciting...........I think 48 hrs would be fine. Ofcourse if the puzzles are ready...........
Any idea if we can participate in US and Czech championships...........(are they online or offline) |

Location: India | As discussed earlier today with Deb... There is one more implementation we can think of.... Since we are going on percentile basis.... we can let the organizer of the mock decide the length of the mock.... we can allow users to take as much time as they want to submit answers ....
say as a creator of mock If I decide the mock is of 2 hrs duration.... we ckeep it open for 48 hrs... that allows enough time for all to take part... Also anyone who completes the mock in lesser time gets time bonus based on the exponential scoring system and if anytime takes more than 2 hrs they can have negative scoring again based on the exponential system.... This way even if an average player cannot complete the mock in time.. they do have an opportunity to attempt/solve all puzzles for that mock...

Location: India | Given that lot of members are suggesting for 48 hours, [red]Mock18 will be open for 48 hours.[/red]
It starts exactly 24 hours before the usual start i.e. 26th Mar 20:00 IST (26th Mar 14:30 GMT)
There is no change in end time.
Thanks to skywalker who has everything ready for the mock. |

Location: India | You can participate in this mock test compiled by Branko Ceranic from puzzles in the Serbian Championship for 48 hours, anytime from 20:00 IST on 26th Mar to 20:00 IST on 28th Mar (from 14:30 GMT on 26th Mar to 14:30 GMT on 28th Mar). Branko has suggested a time of 120 minutes for the test, however we will have the test in one round of 180 minutes. You can take the mock any time during this period at one stretch.
Your time for the mock will start after you click on "Start Mock" and you will have exactly 180 minutes to solve the mock and submit your answers.
A timer will be displayed on the answer page, to show how much time you have remaining.
Also, every time you click on 'Submit' (for any puzzle) it will show how much time you have remaining.
Show cells to fill will be activated 1 hour after you start the test |
