WORLD SUDOKU CHAMPIONSHIP 2009
This year’s World Sudoku Championship, held in Zilina, Slovakia, was interesting as two-time champion Thomas Snyder and current US champion Wei-Hwa Huang did not qualify for the 36-person playoff.
On the team event, were the US Team over-confident when they finished the puzzle without realizing that one digit in one of the six grids were wrong? That error caused them to fall to the seventh placing.
The championship ended with the home team from Slovakia winning the team championship. Second and third placing were respectively taken by Czech Republic and Serbia.
