This page describes the qualification system for the 2011 Can-Am SCRABBLE Challenge, an invitational event for the top players from Canada and the United States.
Players who wish to qualify must meet a minimum participation requirement of 24 rated tournament games played during the qualification period.
Players will qualify based on peak rating (PR). A player’s PR is defined as his or her highest un-accelerated rating that satisfies the following conditions:
“Un-accelerated” means that acceleration points earned in a tournament are deducted from the player’s post-tournament rating before it is considered for a peak rating.
If two or more players have the same PR, then the tie will be broken by each player's second highest PR eligible rating. If still tied then the tie will be broken by drawing of lots.
A link will be provided here shortly.
All alternates will be chosen on the basis of PR.
Any dispute regarding the application or interpretation of any of the above will be resolved jointly by the Canadian Committee and the International Committee. If the two committees are unable to agree on a ruling, the director of the 2011 Challenge will choose between their rulings.
