This page lists in reverse chronological order important news from the 2011 Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship (CNSC).
If you are trying to qualify for the Canadian team at the 2011 World SCRABBLE Championship by winning the 2011 CNSC (one of several ways to qualify for the WSC), you must notify the Canadian Committee of your intent to do so by May 31.
Please read the main CNSC page section on equipment carefully, concerning what equipment will be provided, and what you should bring.
Early Bird details are now posted, and players are encouraged to register for the event ASAP, as space is limited.
Not sure when we’ll be having tea? Check out the newly posted detailed schedule.
As in past years, Sam Kantimathi of SamTimer.com has generously donated merchandise prizes to the CNSC. This year, the Sportsmanship Award recipient will receive a SamBoard Apple, and an as yet undetermined prizewinner will receive a FlipTimer.
We need the following information in each player's NASPA profile in order to prepare media kits, an important part of the CNSC. If you have not already done so, please be sure to check your NASPA profile to see that it has your date of birth, mailing address, email address, phone number, shirt size and profession. Failure to do so may result in the organizer guessing about some of this information, with potentially disastrous consequences.
Congratulations to Jackson Smylie and Shan Abbasi, the last two players to qualify, at today's Eastern Qualifier in Valens, ON.
The Advisory Board has ruled that James Leong's place in the rating qualification list should be after Andy Saunders and ahead of Priya Fernando and Curtis Kowalski.
Congratulations to Jeff Parsons and Betty Bergeron for qualifying through acclamation at the Western Qualifier, originally scheduled to be held in Calgary this weekend.
Today is officially the hotel booking deadline, though since we haven't formally signed a contract with the hotel yet, we may be able to get the event rate extended. Contact John Chew right away if you need help with this.
CNSC organizer John Chew will be travelling to Europe May 4–19 for the European Open and Malta International Scrabble Open, and will be reachable by email but not by phone during that time.
Registration is now closed for players who wish to qualify on rating.
