You must be a registered user and be logged in to participate in these contests
Modern online puzzle contests are either held at a fixed time, or flexible, so you can compete at a time convenient to yourself.
Therefore, you might find some contests, such as the 1st UKPA Sudoku Championship, that have a contest window lasting 2 days or so, but only 2 hours to compete.
For these, you choose when you are ready to start, login, and click 'Start Contest'.
At that time, the password for the encrypted contest puzzle file will be revealed to you.
You then have the stated amount of time to submit your answers on the answer page.
You must submit your answers before the contest end time or before the end of your allotted time whichever is earlier
The encrypted puzzle file will be available for download 1-2 days before the event starts, so you can download this early if you so wish, and certainly before you click 'Start Contest'!
An element of honesty is required for this type of contest. Any entrants suspected of cheating will be disqualified.
Results will be posted within 24 hours of the contest finishing. Hopefully sooner.
You can submit your answers as many times as you like. Don't leave it until the last second!
Late submissions will not be accepted, so watch your time! Click submit to refresh the page to see how much time is left.
