By submitting tournament results to this web site promptly, a certified NASPA tournament director ensures that player records and ratings are kept up to date.
All tournament results must be submitted electronically, and every tournament director is expected to be technically able to do so without assistance.
The submission consists of two parts: uploading the results and paying the fee.
Instructions vary according to the software that you are using to run your tournament.
If you are using tsh, make sure you are connected to the Internet and enter the SUBMIT command. The software uplaods the results and redirects you to the payment form for final submission.
Save the results in a text file as instructed in one of the following subsections. Then upload the file using the tournament data submission form at this address:
http://www.scrabbleassociation.com/cgi-bin/submit-rdata.pl
You must get a password from John Chew before you can upload the file. The server automatically checks the format of the uploaded file and, when successful, redirects you to the payment form for final submission.
If you are using TourneyMan, use the “Save for Chew” menu item to create a file whose name ends in “.CHW”, and then upload the file.
TourneyMan has limits on the lengths of player names. If you are trying to submit results for an event that included Verna Richards Berg, TourneyMan will omit the “s” in “Richards”. Use a text editor such as NotePad to restore the “s” before uploading the “.CHW” file.
If you are using TMENU, use the “Copy computer data to a Disk” command and choose the Format “NSA crosstable disk”. Make sure you choose the option to include game scores in the output. Then upload the file.
If you are using other software, please contact the Web Committee to have its instructions posted here.
Software developers should contact John Chew for details of a richer data format recommended for automatic generation of result submissions.
If you are using no software to run your tournament, you should prepare an ASCII text file (not a Word document, or a Unicode text file). It should look as follows, and you should upload it when it is ready.

Here is how to read the above.
Regardless of how you upload your results, you will be directed to the payment form. The fees must (currently) be paid using Visa or MasterCard. The submission is not complete until all applicable fees have been paid.
To go to the payment form directly (if you want to submit it another time, or if someone else submits it), use this address:

Please note that ratings data submitted more than two weeks after the last day of a tournament are subject to a late fee of $0.25 per person.
