This page is a draft which has yet to be reviewed by the Tournament Committee.
The Tournament Committee maintains this list of reasonable accommodations for disabled players.
Players who are unable to play SCRABBLE games according to the regular rules may apply to the Tournament Committee for an accommodation. The Committee will consult with the player to determine a reasonable accommodation, and list it below. The player may request that they not be identified by name below. Players who are dissatisfied with the accommodation offered by the Committee may appeal the Committee’s decision to the Advisory Board. Players are responsible for alerting their tournament directors in time for directors to verify accommodation status with the Committee.
