COVID SAFETY
Due to ongoing circumstances, the organizing team is enforcing restrictions during the competition which will impact the running of the competition. Here are the most important changes.

  1. Competitors may bring at most two guests. Please note in the survey sent out a week before the competition whether you plan to have a spectator join you.
  2. Competitors should not attend the competition if experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or if they were exposed to someone with COVID-19.
  3. The organizing team strongly recommends to receive a COVID-19 vaccination before competing. This is not a requirement, but is encouraged. For information on, and finding vaccines near you, please use this website!
  4. Masks are not required if you are vaccinated, but are encouraged to be worn. Those who are not vaccinated MUST wear a mask at all times, and should eat/drink outside the competition venue.
  5. All competitors are required to follow the fixed seating rules in place during the competition
  6. We encourage competitors to bring their own pen to the competition.
  7. When not competing, competitors and spectators should attempt to socially distance whenever possibly by keeping 6 feet away from others. We also encourage you not to share puzzles with other competitors.
  8. Hand sanitizer and disinfection wipes will be widely avaliable for use at the competitor's pleasure. Organizers will encourage throughout the day to utilize these items.
  9. After every attempt, rather than the judge putting the puzzle in the cover, the competitor is asked to put the cube into the cover at the end of the attempt. The judge will only put in the scorecard.
  10. Officials and staff will be following special procedures to continue to lower chance of transmission of COVID-19, such as utilizing sanitizer frequently and distancing. You may find our full mitigation procedures using our Risk Management Plan
