How do I register and what can I expect after?
1. When registration for an upcoming event opens, you click the registration button to register for the event and pay the event fee. Payment is accepted by credit card. The date for registration is posted with the event details below.
2. You will receive a confirmation email of your registration and it will include the Zoom link for the event. It should come shortly after registering. Be sure to check your span/junk folders if you don't see it. We will make every effort to send a reminder email with the link closer to the event as well.
3. About 2-3 weeks prior to the event you will receive a shipping notification from Puzzle Canada and the competition puzzle will be delivered to your doorstep. If you have registered for multiple competitions in the same month, they will arrive in one box. In this case, the outer box can be opened as they will be individually wrapped inside. These competitions are only open to Canadian addresses.
Once the competition puzzle has shipped, the registrant is responsible for following the tracking of their package.
Any costs associated with a package being returned due to a failure to pickup at an access point or an error in the shipping address including the absence of a unit number will be billed to the registrant. If a tracking number has indicated a parcel has been delivered but it has not been received by the registrant, the registrant must notify the CJPA in writing at canadianjpa@gmail.com within 24 hours, otherwise we may not be able to offer a remedy or a refund of the competition puzzle.
4. The day of the event, join the Zoom call. We will all reveal the competition puzzle at the same time, and puzzle together in a race to see who can complete it the fastest.
5. This document is the official online rule document for our virtual events.
