This page is an example of what will be published after the first edition of considerations by ISPAC is complete in March 2025.

Equality Philosophy

Equal event conditions* for all competitors allows for true determinations of rankings.

*Equality vs. Equity

While equal event conditions for all competitors allows for fair competition, ISPAC formally recognizes that equity is an important consideration and supports Inclusion.

Consideration Equality-0001:

When tables are shared by competitors, a piece of tape should evenly divide the table. 

    • All competitors will be given the same amount of competition space.

    • None.

    • All competitors should be given the same amount of competition space, regardless of ranking.

    • NOTE: Some competitions have given top puzzlers their own table during final rounds of competitions. ISPAC formally discourages this practice, as it does not provide competition equality.
