Heads up, competitive crossworders! Renowned constructor Merl Reagle is again teaming up with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America to bring you the National Brain Game Challenge. On September 30th, entrants will download Reagle's clever crosswords and race to find the hidden answers within them. This year, the contest is thrown open to everyone, as there's a separate Pro division for people who have earned more than a couple hundred bucks from solving or constructing. The grand prize for each division is $2,500, not bad for an afternoon's work. Plus, you can support the Alzheimer's Foundation and promote brain health, a cause very close to my daily work. Sign up today!
Also, at long last, the dates of the qualifying tests for the US Puzzle Team and Sudoku Team have been announced. The former will be held on August 25th, while sudoku has its turn one week later. I'd love to try my hand at them, but I have scheduling conflicts for both. At least I can't get my hopes up this time...
Edit! Turns out I don't have a conflict for the USPC after all, though it doesn't bode well that the reason for my original misconception was that I'm bad at math.

This year we’ll see whether my second-place finish last year deserves an asterisk or not.
