This Round of Sudoku contains the following puzzles

This round is a Surprise round. I am guessing that it may contain mechanical Sudoku puzzles and the rules of this Sudoku will be explained at the venue before the round starts.
I am qualified for finals after standing in the 6th position after the consolidated score of 7 rounds. Looking forward to meeting all my puzzle friends at the Sudoku Mahabharat finals.
