CA2025 ticket for Pairs Relay--11/15 @ 11:30a

$35.00 $30.00

$5 OFF if purchased before August 1st

Our 2025 California Speed Puzzling Championship will be held on Saturday, November 15th, in the Bayview Dining Room, College of San Mateo. The address is 1700 W. Hillsdale Blvd., San Mateo, CA 94402.

This ticket gives 1 person entry into the following special event:

Pairs Relay 2 x 200-300 piece: Check in at 11:30 a.m. (60m time limit)

Make sure your teammate also buys a ticket.

If you know your teammate's name, please enter it in the Note/Comment field during checkout.

Please check in for the Pairs Relay race at 11:30 am. Instructions will be given by 11:45, and the contest will start immediately afterward.

The Pairs Relay consists of two people completing two different 200p to 300p puzzles simultaneously. When the timer starts, each partner opens up one puzzle and begins assembling it on his/her half of the table. (Each pair will get an entire table for just this event).

Every 5 minutes, we will announce "Switch!", and the partners must switch places to work on the opposite puzzle. This repeats until time expires. Once one of your puzzles is finished, you will continue switching every 5 minutes. (Only one person may work on the remaining puzzle at any given time. But the other person may coach and/or point to puzzle pieces, but not touch the puzzle until it is their turn again.)

Like the other events, each pair will keep the puzzles used in the contest.

You will have 60 minutes to finish both puzzles. If you do not finish the puzzles within the time limit, you will be given credit for any groups of 2+ connected pieces. Rankings will be established first by completion time, and then by the number of pieces placed.

By participating in this event, you agree that you will hold harmless SpeedPuzzling.com and its agents and volunteers, and CSM and its agents, from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising out of your actions or inactions.
