Put together a team of up to 4 individuals (16 years +) and register for Puzzle Mania, a jigsaw puzzle tournament! Teams will have 2 hours to race against each other to complete the same 500-piece, custom Cary Park District puzzle. Bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages and enjoy a fun afternoon of competition. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team. General Rules: Teams are made up of 2-4 adults, 16 years and older. Only one representative from the team needs to register. All team members will sign in on the day of the competition. Tables will be selected by teams on a first-come first-served basis. Each team will have an identical 500-piece puzzle. Puzzles are to remain in the sealed bag in the middle of the table until the competition supervisor indicates that it is time to start. No aids are to be used or outside assistance from non-team members. Any questions about the rules or issues regarding enforcement of the rules should be brought to the attention of the competition supervisor. Members of the public will be permitted to observe but not allowed to disturb or help teams. Each team can take home their puzzle at the end of the competition. Breaks: Team members are permitted to take breaks throughout the competition as needed. Teams are welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to the competition. Team members should not distract other team members. In the event of an emergency, the time clock will be paused and work on the puzzles will cease until the competition supervisor declares time can resume. Winning & Awards: There is a 2-hour competition time limit. The first team to complete the puzzle (all pieces assembled correctly) will be declared the winner. If time runs out before a team completes their puzzle, the team with the fewest "loose" pieces will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, a 5-minute sudden death round will be conducted and loose pieces will be counted again. The decision of the competition supervisor is final!
