Rules

Only participants and officials (persons authorised by Linn Schiffmann (organiser)) 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. To take part in the individual competition, children under the age of 14 in particular should be able to solve a 500-piece puzzle independently in the required time and, if possible, have already done so several times.

If a participant is unable to attend, Linn Schiffmann reserves the right to nominate participants at short notice, e.g. on the basis of a waiting list.

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.

Sorting aids or plates may be used as aids. Box top holders are also permitted. Headphones are permitted as long as they do not disturb other participants.
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.

Any assistance during the competition from a person other than the participant may result in disqualification.

All puzzles used in the competition are the property of the participants after the competition has been completed.

The decisions of the judges during the competitions are final.

The organiser points out that pictures and film recordings will be made during the event and that these may be published on the Internet or other social media. By participating in this public event, the participant waives his/her "right to his/her own image".
