Please check in for the Pairs Relay race at 12:00 pm. Brief instructions will be given, and the contest will start immediately afterward.
The Pairs Relay consists of two people completing two different 275p 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.)
Only one person may work on the remaining puzzle at any given time. The other person may coach and point to pieces, but not touch any pieces.
Like the other events, each pair will keep the puzzles used in the contest.
You will have 1 hour to finish both puzzles. If you do not finish both 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.
