  • To keep the competition running on time and to ensure we can keep all events, we will be requiring competitors to also judge. Pay attention to your group assignments - if you are in the first group of an event you will then judge the second group, if in the second group you will judge the third group and so on - if you are in the last group you will judge the first group. This is essential to keep the competition on schedule. We also invite any parents or guests to also help judge - thank you for your support.

  • Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. We will call the groups in order with a last call at the beginning the last group. Please bring your puzzle up when your group is called - if you miss your group, you may not be allowed to compete in that event.
