This puzzle was co-set with the brilliant Marty Sears for the CTC Discord's July 2024 monthly puzzle prompt of "Rallies."

• Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
• Copycat Cells: Place 9 Copycat Cells into the grid so that there is exactly one Copycat Cell in each row, column, and 3x3 box. Each Copycat Cell must contain a different digit. The value of a Copycat Cell is the digit in the cell rotationally opposite itself in the grid (180° rotation about the center of the grid). For example, if r2c3 is a Copycat Cell containing the digit 5, and r8c7 contains the digit 9, the value of r2c3 is the digit in r8c7, which is 9.
• Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide darker blue lines into segments. The values of the cells on each segment of a line must sum to the same total. This total must be determined for each darker blue line.
• Same Difference Lines: The values of adjacent digits on a turquoise line always have the same difference. This difference must be determined for each turquoise line.
