SUMMARY:Ready\, Set\, Puzzle!
DESCRIPTION:The clock is ticking\; join us for a puzzle race! This event is 
 for adults only - all team members must be 18 or older. All attendees must 
 be on a team\; we do not have space to permit spectators.\n\nHow will the 
 competition work?\nTeams of up to four adults will race against each other 
 - and the clock - to complete a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle in 90 minutes or 
 less.\n\nWhat does the race look like?\nThere will be refreshments and 
 puzzles! Teams of adults will compete in the Reference area of the main 
 floor of the library. You may eat and chat - without distracting your 
 opponents - while you puzzle and we will help you keep track of how much 
 time you have left.\n\nHow does registration work?\nRegistration is 
 required and opens Friday\, August 14th. Each participant will fill out the 
 registration form and let us know your name\, how many people you are 
 competing with\, your team name if you have one\, and whether you'd like to 
 accept new team members to get your group up to 4. We will close the form 
 at the end of the day on Friday\, August  28th\, to finalize team 
 rosters.\n\nWhat are the rules?\nWe will distribute puzzles and start the 
 timer at 5:45pm. Each team will have until 7:15pm to work on their puzzle. 
 We are not allowing any tools including but not limited to "spatulas" 
 (paper\, cardboard\, or other implements used to pick up a completed 
 section and move it into position) and sorting trays. Otherwise it is up to 
 each team to decide how to start the puzzle and divide the work. Winners 
 will be determined based either on time of completion or number of 
 unassembled puzzle pieces when time runs out.\n\nWhat are the prizes?\nEach 
 member of the winning team will receive a prize. \n\nFirst place winners 
 will receive a $25 gift card supporting a local business.\nSecond place 
 winners will receive a $20 gift card supporting a local business.\nThird 
 place winners will receive a $15 gift card supporting a local 
 business.\n\nThis is an after-hours event\; participants may enter through 
 either the Library’s Grand River doors or Clinton Street doors between 
 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm. DOORS WILL BE LOCKED AT 5:30 PM.\nPlease stay home if 
 you are sick.\n\nEntry is limited to registered attendees\, registrants 
 must be 18 .
