Contest Day
Zoom Meeting Preparation
A day or two before the contest, you will receive a Google calendar invite. It will contain the Zoom link and camera setup instructions. Here are the basics:
- If you are competing as a Pair or Team, please RSVP by Friday night with the first & last names of your teammate(s). This will facilitate our posting of results by Saturday night.
- Have the camera set up in landscape (horizontal) format.
- The camera should be at least 18-24 inches above the table.
- The camera should be positioned (horizontally) 3-4 feet away from the puzzling surface.
- Set the unopened puzzle package on the table, in clear view of the camera.
- To see what we're seeing, test your camera (within the Zoom app) to make sure its angle will allow us to see the entire puzzle surface as you are completing it.
- We recommend you have a timer handy, but it doesn't need to be visible to the camera. Cell phone timers are allowed.
