Just as a heads-up, the link to the first contest is wrong, it should be https://ukpuzzles.org/contests.php?contestid=67. It also says the event is finished?
But the same instruction booklet contains the rules for both sets of puzzles, so you can find the correct instruction booklet from Liane's second link anyway.

Thanks Neil - I've corrected the link and the 'finish' error.

Instruction booklets amended to include points values.

In addition, for puzzle 1.11 Shikaku - if there is a two digit number in the solution enter only the unit digit - i.e. for 10 enter 0
