A variety of pairing methods will be used, depending on the number of players in a division. You must be a NASPA member to participate in the tournament. You may find information on joining NASPA at www.scrabbleplayers.org. The most recent published NASPA Rating will determine your division (or higher Peak - see below). Unrated players will usually play in the lowest rating division. Exceptions can be made for players with club or on line experience. You may play up one division if your rating is within 100 points of the cutoff at any time after June 30, 2009. Current NASPA Tournament Rules will govern play. Clocks/timers are required – bring your own if you have one. All players who have rotating boards, clocks and smooth tiles should bring them. Cash prizes will be awarded in all divisions. Amounts depend on number of players (historically over 80% returned). Word sources are The Official Tournament and Club Word List and The Long List per NSA rules. • No smoking in the playing room or in the hallway outside the play area. ______Send this form, or equivalent, with check, payable to Janice Kaye, 1893 Highland Pkwy, St Paul, MN 55116. 651-592-3178, [email protected].
