10 hour puzzle marathon
Regional Puzzle competition
You will receive a reminder and a short-term postponement. If you still do not pay, your registration will be cancelled by us.
Under 18-year-olds can take part in the competition if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Spectators are allowed and welcome. There is an area in the hall for spectators and participants who are taking a break.
Dogs and other pets / animals are not allowed in the competition area or in the spectator area. They are not permitted in the entire indoor area of the event hall due to the house rules.
You can change the team members yourself up to a few days before the event. If someone cannot take part, it is therefore possible to add another person to the team. If this is not technically possible, please contact contact@puzzlemarathon.de
In principle, the team must consist of at least 4 people. If there are fewer than 4 people in the team on the day of the event, the organiser can fill the team with interested people from the waiting list or the spectators.
We will allocate the unoccupied team places to participants on the waiting list or spectators at short notice. If there is no interest, the place remains free, then the team can still join in the puzzle after it appears. If individual team members are too late, they can join their team later.
It is not necessary for the entire team to be present from start to finish. The start team should be present no later than 9.40am, but at least 1 person should be there earlier to register the team. Someone from the team should also stay after the end of the event to collect the team's remaining puzzles.
Each team has a puzzle surface measuring approx. 180 x 70 cm.
Trays, plates and sorting boxes are permitted as aids, as are box-top holders. The number and size can be freely chosen and must be brought by the participants themselves.
Scissors, knives and other sharp objects for opening the puzzles are not permitted. The puzzles will already be open, so no tools are required.
Additional light sources, objects that change the height or arrangement of the tables and templates that represent the puzzle manufacturer's pattern or the puzzle motif are also not permitted.
Puzzles cannot be skipped, all puzzles must be puzzled in the intended order.
Yes, we will set up a puzzle swap area. The number of pieces in the exchange should be balanced, e.g. bring 3,000 pieces and take 3,000 pieces with you. Please pack puzzle pieces in plastic bags and label any missing pieces.

By registering, you are entering into a contract with the event organiser regarding your participation. The organiser is named on the event page and is responsible for processing your registration details; the Jigsaw Puzzle Events platform processes them on the organiser’s behalf.
To run the competition, participants’ first name, surname, date of birth and nationality are required. Names and nationality, as well as the times achieved and placings, will be published in start lists, in announcements during the event and in results lists. This forms part of taking part in a sporting competition.
Information regarding accessibility is voluntary and will only be passed on to the organiser with your express consent.
Details regarding the processing of your data, payments and your rights can be found in the privacy policy. The organiser’s rules regarding photographs, videos, the event programme and conduct are set out in the event rules.
Only participants and officials (persons authorised by the club) may enter the competition area.
Participants must be on site 15 minutes before the start of the competition.
Participants under the age of 18 are generally permitted. They must be accompanied by an adult.
If a team does not turn up, the club reserves the right to nominate a team at short notice, e.g. on the basis of a waiting list.
Until the start of the competition is announced and the stopwatch starts, the puzzle boxes may not be manipulated, unsealed or opened.
Officials will monitor the competition and record the times of the participating teams. If a team is close to completing a puzzle, a team member should raise their arm to alert the officials so they can record the time. After checking for completeness, the time is noted by the officials and passed on to the main referee.
Once the puzzle has been completed and checked for completeness, the next puzzle can be started immediately. The team itself decides whether to remove the completed puzzle completely from the table for the time being. The risk of mixing up the puzzles or losing pieces is the responsibility of each team.
If pieces are missing at the end of the puzzle, these are noted when recording the time and taken into account when determining the total number of pieces placed.
If the last puzzle is not completed in full, the officials will count and note the correctly placed pieces.
Sorting aids or plates may be used as aids. These must be brought by the teams themselves. Box top holders are also permitted. Headphones are permitted as long as they do not disturb other participants.
Objects that change the height or arrangement of the tables are not permitted. Furthermore, additional light sources and templates that represent the puzzle manufacturer's pattern are not permitted.
Any help during the competition from a person other than the active team members may result in the team being disqualified.
All puzzles used in the competition are the property of the teams after the competition has ended.
The decisions of the arbitrators during the competitions are final.
