Think you are good at jigsaw puzzles? Why not test those skills at our Speed Puzzling Competition at our Main Library! Compete as a group of 2 to 4 people to see which team can finish first. When registering, only one person should register for their entire team. The registered person will be the contact in case we need to contact your team. Please indicate how many people will be on your team by answering the question at registration. Each team will receive an identical puzzle to complete , and all participants will start at the same time. The first team to finish within the allotted time will each get a prize and bragging rights. General Rules:
Teams of 2–4 people are allowed to participate. When registering, only one person should register for their entire team. The registered person will be the contact in case we need to contact your team. Please indicate how many people will be on your team by answering the question at registration.
Each team will be given an identical 500-piece puzzle and will have their own table to work on their puzzle. You must remain in your assigned space. You may be disqualified if you interfere with the progress of another team or competitor.
Only participants over 13 years old are accepted, unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is competing with them as a team.
Until the staff member indicates the start of the competition and starts the timer, the participants cannot move or touch the jigsaw puzzle boxes that are on the table.
All the tables will be numbered and assigned to teams. The doors will open at 5:30 pm and the clock will start at 6:00 pm. Any group or competitor who arrives late will still be allowed to compete, but will not be given any additional time.
There will be no scheduled breaks, but competitors are allowed to leave the table at any time while the competition continues. However, they will not be given any additional time nor will their time pause while they are away.
No food or drinks will be allowed on the puzzle tables.
The official timer will be visible at the front of the room, but participants are free to bring their own timers if they wish.
Participants will only be able to assemble the jigsaw puzzle on their assigned table and within the competition venue.
Headphones are allowed as long as the volume is kept low enough that it does not disturb other participants.
Groups who have finished their puzzles will be allowed to remain in the competition area only as long as they do not disrupt the other competitors.
Prizes will only be awarded to the team that correctly finishes first. In the event that no teams finish before the time limit, the winner will be the one who has correctly placed the largest number of pieces.
All the jigsaw puzzles used in the competitions are the property of the participants once the competition is finished.
Spectators will be allowed to watch the competition as long as they do not disrupt the competitors.
