News from the IXL Chief Patron posted on the Facebook page of IXL Players
Dear IXLer
Here's the news you were waiting for. The third edition of Indian Crossword League (IXL) is gearing up for the launch. We have decided to have the launch tentatively on September 27, a Sunday, in Kolkata. The tentative date for the Grand Finale is December 20, again a Sunday. The registration will begin on September 1.
The broad format of the contest will remain as it has been for the past two years. The only change, we hope you will relish this, is that it is going to be bigger, and so, tougher. To engage the bright Indian diaspora, we are planning New York and Toronto legs of this unique contest. The winners from both cities will get a direct entry to the Grand Finale. However, we will slightly tweak the norms for the two cities. Instead of online rounds, there will be a one-time one-hour offline written test. A formal announcement will be made soon.
For the past two years, we have travelled together on the road hardly trodden and found that it leads to mental succour seldom realised. We solicit your company on another such adventure. It's also a rare opportunity to bond with the like-minded.
So, mark the two dates in your appointment diary in bold and be part of an incredible fun.
