I liked these variants a lot and there was also no mistake in the contest.
In my opinion, Irregular Tapa and Combiation Tapa were the best puzzles (although I didn't find any solution for Combination Tapa during the contest)
In the first half our, I managed to solve 8 puzzles (all the easier ones) and then I had big problems with Sudoku Tapa and Combination Tapa (which were the hardest puzzles of this contest, I think). And of course, I didn't even look at the optimizer.
All in all, this was the best Tapa contest, I have ever seen in my life.

You are welcome. Im enjoying as much as the competitors.
Yes i know, it is hard to realize the solution paths in the Tapa Sudoku quickly. I like that variant so much, thanks to Jan M.
Combination Sudoku was a little bit huge. After making the puzzle I thought i shouldnt do it that size, but all combination of clues from 1 to 5 (except 2/4) is placed symettrically, so i couldnt exclude the puzzle.
Yes, i know how many puzzles you solved anytime during the contest, because of site designing. We can observe all answers during the contest. It is really fun
Making these contest series is harder than OAPC
I had to make puzzles of the TVC I in 1 day, we couldnt check all puzzles perfectly and that caused some mistakes.We'll upload a table to our forum, including cumulative points of two weeks.
Best
