Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

This is my first attempt at a variant Sudoku with what I believe is a novel ruleset. Please enjoy!

Special thanks to users "sanabas," "The Pi Guy," and "curlingclips" on the CTC Discord server for helping me transform my idea into a playable puzzle.

Rules:

• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Kropki: A white dot sits between a pair of consecutive digits.
• Tents: The grid contains 16 trees. Each tree is paired with an orthogonally adjacent tent, in a 1-to-1 relationship. Tents may not touch, not even diagonally. (For clarity, there is no restriction on placing multiple tents next to a single tree, or vice versa.)
• Counting Tents: Any digit in a tent indicates exactly how many tents contain that digit.
• German Whispers: Each tent differs from its paired tree by at least 5.
