Great that you wanted to help!

We especially need people to walk around during the competitions, see who finishes next and write down the times. 

Please also include accompanying persons who are not actively doing speed puzzles themselves. 

All helping persons will receive a Linn Schiffmann ART puzzle of their choice as a thank you. 

If you are interested, please write to me at: info@linnschiffmann.de

or sign up directly in this table: https://xoyondo.com/dp/s4apfovzg36xvh5

Thank you :) :) :)

If you are still looking for partners for pairs or teams, you can make a request on the discord server of the Puzzleverein Deutschlands https://discord.com/invite/RSuD2HHZfv

 

If you are open about the speed or slowness of your partner/team, you can also contact Linn directly. slowness of your partner/team, you can also contact Linn directly: info@linnschiffmann.de  

Linn collects requests and as soon as a pair or team is complete, Linn will send you each other's email addresses and you can agree among yourselves who the registration will run through. Attention: The partners/teams will be matched purely on receipt of the enquiry! So this is an offer for all those who want to puzzle JUST FOR FUN and don't have huge ambitions.

Spectators are allowed and welcome. There is an area in the hall for spectators and participants who are taking a break.

Dogs and other pets may not be brought into the competition area or the spectator/break areas. They are not permitted in the entire interior of the venue due to the house rules.

We will allocate the unoccupied places to participants on the waiting list at short notice. If there is no interest, the place will remain free and the participant can still join in the puzzle after the event.
