MN2024 PAIRS RELAY race--10/12 @ 11:45a
$5 OFF if you sign up before Saturday, 10/5/24!
Our 2024 Minnesota State Championship will be held on October 12th in the Twin Cities area. The venue is the Grand Room at Brooklyn Park Community Activity Center, 5600 85th Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443.
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 210p 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 at least 3 pairs complete both puzzles (or until time expires). Once one of your puzzles is finished, you will continue switching every 5 minutes. (Only one person will work on the remaining puzzle at any given time.)
Like the other events, each pair will keep the puzzles used in the contest.
You will have 45-60 minutes to finish both puzzles. If you do not finish the puzzles, you will be given credit for any groups of 3+ connected pieces. Rankings will be established first by completion time, and then by the number of pieces placed.
