General rules
The competition area may only be entered by participants and helpers (persons authorised by the organiser and club).
Participants must be on site 15 minutes before the start of the competition.
Participants under the age of 18 are generally admitted. They must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. To take part in the individual puzzle, children under the age of 14 in particular should be able to solve a 300 or 500-piece puzzle independently in the required time and, if possible, have already done so several times.
If a participant does not attend, the association reserves the right to re-nominate participants at short notice, e.g. on the basis of a waiting list.
Until the presenter announces the start of the competition and the stopwatch starts, the puzzle boxes must not be manipulated, unsealed or opened.
Helpers will monitor the competition and record the times. If a person / pair / team is close to completing a puzzle, an arm should be raised to draw the attention of a helper so that they can record the time. After checking for completeness, the helper will note the time and pass it on.
If one or more pieces are missing, the helper will only note the time when the participant signals that they want to finish the round. If pieces are missing at the end of the puzzle, 5 seconds are added to the final time for each lost piece. If several pieces are missing in one area, the referee decides whether a penalty time is added.
If the puzzle is not completed in the specified time, the correctly placed pieces are counted with the help of the helpers and then noted.
After completing the puzzle, the competition area can be left early, but participants must take all their belongings with them and take care not to disturb other participants. At the end of the competition, all participants should leave the competition area with their belongings so that it can be prepared for the next competition.
Sorting aids or plates may be used as aids. Box top holders are also permitted. Headphones are permitted as long as other participants are not disturbed. Participants must bring their own aids.
Objects that change the height or arrangement of the tables are not permitted. Additional light sources are also not permitted. Templates that represent the puzzle manufacturer's pattern are not permitted.
Any assistance during the competition from a person other than the participant may result in the participant being disqualified.
All puzzles used in the competition are the property of the participants after the competition has ended.
The decisions of the referees during the competitions are final.
The organiser points out that pictures and film recordings will be made during the event and that these will be used for public reporting on the Internet or other social media. Participants and spectators may be shown.
By registering, you also agree that your name, place of residence, ranking and puzzle time may be published on the Internet and used for public reporting in connection with the puzzle competition.
