Some problems will be open-ended, and they will be so noted. Your final score is the total of all points accumulated, minus any penalties. You may submit multiple answer forms. Your official entry will be the last answer given for each problem. Officials will not, however, answer any questions regarding the puzzles themselves.
Scores are subject to review for rules compliance.
Winners may be asked to sign an affidavit confirming that they did, in fact, abide by the rules of the competition. The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any contestant if, in their sole judgment, they believe the rules have been violated. In case of disputes, protests, or other judgments, the decision of the head judge is final. The winners will be notified by telephone within 5 days of the contest. Results will be posted on this website no later than Saturday, June 16.
