Yes, it is actually final now that the 3rd place holder of the 2009 Philadelphia Inquirer National Sudoku Championship have been disqualified.
After investigations Eugene Varshavsky of Lawrenceville, N.J was found guilty of cheating. He had to return the $3,000 prize money, which is now awarded to Chris Narrikkattu of New York City.
I think we are likely to see rule changes for the next Sudoku Championship and I hope same situation doesn´t comes up again.
