The 2011 National SCRABBLE Championship will include a second annual Early Bird tournament. This tournament offers a playing opportunity to a group of players who can play in fewer SCRABBLE tournaments than others: NSC staff and other NASPA directors.

Official status

As of early June 2011, the Tournament Committee was still deliberating the issue of whether or not this event could be rated.

Results

Results will be available online.

Registration

In order to play in this tournament, you must be listed as staff or other volunteers on the NSC web page, or you must be a certified NASPA Director in good standing (apprentices welcome).

If you’re interested in playing, please email John Chew to be added to the player roster.

To be included in the pairings, you must check in at the event at the designated time.

Player Roster

  • 1661 Chew, John (prefers SOWPODS, willing to play OWL)
  • 1194 Bassett, Michael

Schedule

All events will take place on Friday, August 5, 2011 in the main playing room.

Registration
12:15–12:25 P.M.
Round 1
12:30–1:30 P.M.
Round 2
1:30–2:30 P.M.
Round 3
2:30–3:30 P.M.

Entry Fee

If the event is unrated, no entry fee will be charged and no cash prizes awarded. If the event is rated, a small entry fee (≤$10) will be charged at the door to cover the participation fee and a small prize fund.

Prizes

Prizes may be donated for this event, but none are guaranteed at this point, and we hope that those who play do so for the sake of camaraderie and competition.

Format

This event will be played according to NASPA Rules using the OTCWL lexicon. (If four or more players prefer SOWPODS, they will play in a separate SOWPODS division.) All three rounds will be paired Swiss. No division will have more than 16 players.
