Contest: Monthly and Annual Sudoku Contests!

[Tiger21820]

The extension: app.php/msudoku

It was a matter of time anyways!

Solve Sudoku puzzles and get onto the hall of fame!

You will automatically win points based on various factors which will be listed below:

(Values are subject to change at any time!)

100 sudoku points = 100 forum points!

1st place rank will win 2000 bonus points!
2nd place rank will win 1000 bonus points!
3rd place rank will win 500 bonus points!
Highest average will win 2500 bonus points!
Most played games will win 1500 bonus points!
Best Samurai player will win 5000 bonus points!
Best Ninja player will win 10000 bonus points!


Currently, it seems that cron functionality for calculating points for use with the ultimate point extension wasn't implemented yet, or I just have absolutely no idea how to run a cron job (though I was trying!), so until I can get that (what is shown above) working, I'll be handling the rewards for each round!

Prizes for each round are as follows:
Monthly Classic prize: 2000 plus the winning score in 100s
Monthly Samurai prize: 5000 plus the winning score in 100s
Monthly Ninja prize: 10000 plus the winning score in 100s
Yearly Classic prize: 4000 plus the winning score in 100s
Yearly Samurai prize: 10000 plus the winning score in 100s
Yearly Ninja prize: 20000 plus the winning score in 100s

Prizes for most played games, highest average, and 2nd/3rd place winners will not be awarded as of right now! Sorry!


Additionally:
The first to beat 100000 points in Classic will win 500,000,000 points!
The first to beat 100000 points in Samurai will win 1,000,000,000 points!
The first to beat 100000 points in Ninja will win 5,000,000,000 points!

(Rewards are subject to change at any time!)

Winners will be notified by PM! (Doesn't function yet...)

This topic will contain the results of each round of Sudoku which will be posted here each month!

I need to set up cron jobs for this to work, and yet, I am still unable to do that! This topic will be locked this feature actually works!

See next post!

I'm handling the rewards until I can get this Sudoku Ultimate Points mumbo jumbo working!

So...

The winner of last month's Classic Round was @Lyn with 5 puzzles solved, an average score of 262, and a score of 1310! Lyn wins 3300 forum points!

The winner of last month's Samurai Round was probably me with 3 puzzles solved, an average score of 3676, and a score of 11027! Probably me wins 16000 forum points!

And the winner of last month's Samurai Round was... wait, hold on a moment... uhhh... @NINTENDO 3DS CENTRAL!?!?!? IS THIS EVEN OKAY!!?? Well anyways, with 1 puzzle solved (though was one really?), an average score of 5000, and a score of 5000... Okay whatever! I guess Nintendo 3DS Central wins 15000 forum points...?

Congratulations to our 2½ winners!

Last month's round has come to a close, and the automated points are still non-functional (for what I can tell), so again, I will give the points out myself!

The winner of last month's Classic Sudoku round with 2 solved puzzles, an average score of 394 points, and a score of 788 points was me, @Tiger21820! So I won 2700 forum points! Way to go, me!

The winner of last month's Samurai Sudoku round with 1 solved puzzle, an average score of 3680 points, and a score of 3680 points was, again, me! So I won 8600 forum points! Way to go, me! Again!

The winner of last month's Ninja Sudoku round with 1 solved puzzle, an average score of 20 points, and a score of 20 points was @Morgiana! So she won 10000 forum points! Congratulations Morg!

Since @Tiger21820 is too tired today, I'll be handling July's contest results and rewards.

It's a new (and a SPECIAL one for two specific members!) month, and that means a new round of Sudoku has begun! Again, automated point rewards are not working, so rewards will be given out manually. We don't know whether Ultimate Points need to be updated to the current version (Tiger's had problems with the current version of the extension, so he had to roll back), or if the function hasn't been fully implemented yet...

So anyway, let's get to last month's results, shall we?

Last month's winner of Classic Sudoku was yours truly with 1 puzzle solved, and a score (average is the same, I only solved 1 puzzle) of 402! I will receive a prize of 2400 forum points!

Last month's winner of Samurai Sudoku was again, me, with 2 puzzles solved, an average score of 3680, and a score of 7360! I will receive a prize of 12300 forum points!

Last month's winner of Samurai Sudoku was @Tiger21820 with 1 puzzle solved, and a score (average is the same, he only solved 1 puzzle) of 90! He will receive a prize of 10000 forum points!

At the time of this post, there are 4959 classic puzzles, 403 samurai puzzles, and 133 ninja puzzles, making for a grand total of 5495 different puzzles available for you to play!
