Thirty places. Thirty competitor numbers. The first grid in Jigsaw Grand Prix history. Competitors can optionally have a profile photo displayed.

Competition format

Championship Rules

The official core rules, points system and race requirements for the Jigsaw Grand Prix Founding Season.

1. Championship format

The founding season consists of eight online races. Each competitor receives the designated puzzle for every round in advance and must keep it sealed until instructed on race night.

2. Starting a race

Competitors join the official race call before the published start time. The race begins simultaneously on the official start signal.

3. Finishing

A competitor records a finish when their puzzle is fully completed within the race time limit. Official finish times will be checked and verified after each race. If the time limit is reached before a puzzle is completed, the remaining competitors will be ranked by their completed piece count. For piece-count scoring, correctly joined sections of three or more connected pieces count towards the total.

4. Championship points

Every competitor scores championship points in each round. Competitors who complete the puzzle within the time limit are ranked by their verified finish time. If the time limit is reached, any unfinished puzzles are ranked by completed piece count, so every competitor still receives a finishing position and the corresponding championship points.

5. Race requirements

Competitors are responsible for having a suitable race setup ready before every round. The requirements below are designed to keep each race fair, visible and reliable for everyone taking part.

Suitable puzzle table

A flat, stable workspace large enough to comfortably build and sort a puzzle of up to 1,000 pieces, with the entire working area visible on camera.

Webcam or suitable camera

A stable camera positioned so race officials can clearly see the full puzzle area, your hands and the completed puzzle when you finish.

Stable internet connection

A reliable connection capable of maintaining the live race call and camera feed throughout the event.

Official timer app

The official race timer app must be in use throughout each race. Full instructions on how to access, set up and use the timer will be provided before the season begins.

Good lighting

Your puzzle and working area must be clearly visible for the duration of the race, without heavy shadows or glare obscuring pieces.

Audio access

You must be able to hear race control, countdowns and any official instructions during the event.

Sealed race puzzle

The official race puzzle must remain sealed and unopened until race control gives the instruction to open it.

Ready before the start

Join the official race room before the published start time with your camera, workspace and puzzle ready for verification.

Competitors must complete the puzzle themselves. No outside assistance, pre-sorting, advance opening or off-camera completion is permitted.

6. Tie-breaks

If competitors finish the season level on points, the higher position goes to the competitor with more race wins across their seven counting results. If still tied, compare second-place finishes, then third-place finishes and so on. If the competitors remain level, the better result in Race 8 decides the order. If still inseparable, race control will publish a reasoned decision based on verified finishing times before final standings are confirmed.

7. Fair competition

Jigsaw Grand Prix is built around friendly, fair competition. We ask everyone to complete each race puzzle themselves and follow the camera, timing and verification requirements so every competitor is racing on the same terms. If an issue comes up during a race, race control will review it fairly and only apply a penalty where necessary.

Founding Season · Championship Scoring

Can't make every race? No problem!

Only your best 7 results from the 8 races count towards your final championship total.

8

Race nights

There are eight rounds in the Founding Season, giving you eight opportunities to score championship points.

7

Results count

Your final championship total is calculated using your best seven race results. Your lowest score is dropped.

Miss a race without automatically falling behind

You can miss one race night, or compete in all eight and drop your lowest-scoring result. Everyone's championship total is calculated using the same best-seven-results rule.
