Until the start of the competition is announced by an official and the stopwatch is started, the puzzle boxes must not be manipulated, unsealed or opened.
Officials will monitor the competition and note the times of the participants. If a competing person/pair/team is close to completing a puzzle, the person/pair/team should raise their arm to alert an official to record the time. After checking for completeness, the official will record the time and pass it on to the head judge.
After completing the puzzle, participants may leave the competition area early, taking all their belongings with them and taking care not to obstruct other participants. At the end of the competition, all participants should leave the competition area quickly with their belongings so that it can be prepared for the next competition.
If pieces are missing at the end of the puzzle, 10 seconds will be added to the final time for each lost piece.
If the puzzle is not completed in the allotted time, the officials will count and note the correctly placed pieces.

Participants must bring their own aids for this purpose.
Any objects that change the height or arrangement of the tables are not permitted. Additional light sources are not permitted.
