A player who is unable for religious reasons to perform all of the physical functions required in a tournament game of Scrabble (e.g., Orthodox Jews who are unable to operate the clock or write during the sabbath) MUST contact the director of the tournament in advance for approval of an accommodation during the period when such actions are proscribed. These alternate methods may only be used for games during the period of proscription (e.g., the Sabbath), not throughout the entire tournament.
=== Typical Writing Accommodation 1 ===
* Score keeping: player uses two bookmarks in a book and moves them to represent each player’s score.The book used must be approved by the director (e.g., “Dr Spock’s Baby and Child Care” is acceptable, but using OSPD4 or the OWL is not).
* Blank designation: use a separate set of scrabble tiles (clearly different from those used in the game) and present one of those tiles to the opponent as the blank designation.
