PUZZLE SWAP
During the event we will host a puzzle swap for anyone interested in passing puzzles from your collection on to a new home, and collecting one that is new to you. Bring your puzzles (in good condition) for a free swap with other puzzle enthusiasts!
Rules and Regulations:
• Hands only! No use of any puzzle tools, flashlights, or phones allowed.
• Use of table risers is not permitted.
• Distracting or interfering with other competitors is not allowed.
• Judges will be monitoring the area and watching as teams get close to finishing. Raise your hand and a judge will come to your table to watch you finish and record your time.
• There are no refunds of the registration fee, but registrations can be transferred to another team.
Concessions will be available onsite, and we encourage you to dine at one of the many great downtown Rochester restaurants before or after your competition!

Want more puzzling action?
Every month, meet up other jigsaw enthusiasts for non-competitive puzzling and puzzle swapping. Put together one of the puzzles provided or bring your own. If participating in the swap, bring puzzles to exchange with others and go home with something new(ish)!
Upcoming dates are September 10, October 15, and November 12.
