Rules
For Speed Puzzling categories, competitors must race to complete their puzzles within the time limit. If, once the time has run out, competitors have not finished the puzzle, we will count the number of placed pieces, adding only groups of 2 or more pieces correctly joined together. Competitors will be ranked by the number of pieces they have placed.
If pieces are missing/misplaced at the end of the puzzle, 5 seconds for each such piece will be added to the final time. If there are 2 or more adjacent missing pieces, no penalty will be applied as it is considered a manufacturing error.
All other rules will be explained on-the-spot.
