The fastest team of 3 to complete all 3 puzzles wins.


Registration Steps:

  1. Select the location (DFW vs Houston). San Antonio will be added later if needed.
  2. Select the division for Solo, Pair, and Team races. Advanced uses the higher piece-count puzzles. Casual, Junior (under 16), and Senior (60+) all use the lower piece-count puzzles. The default is Advanced, but you may select the others if desired. All members of a Junior pair or team must be under 16. All members of a Senior team must be 60+. Teams with mixed ages must choose Advanced or Casual.
  3. Select your T-shirt size and color. More information is at https://www.alphabroder.com/product/3001cvc/bella--canvas-unisex-heather-cvc-t-shirt.html?color=d9.


Please check in for the Solo race at 9:00 am. Instructions will be given at 9:15, and the contest will start immediately afterward.


For each event, if you do not finish the puzzle(s) 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.


For each event, the contest puzzles are yours to keep.
