</table>Chrislipehttps://www.scrabbleplayers.org/wiki/index.php?title=2014_SCRABBLE_Champions_Tournament_US_Qualification_System&diff=8166&oldid=prevChrislipe: New Page2013-07-02T14:09:08Z<p>New Page</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page outlines the criteria that will be used to select the players who will represent the United States at the [[2014 SCRABBLE Champions Tournament]] (SCT), formerly known as the World SCRABBLE Championship (WSC). <br />
<br />
A similar version of these criteria may also be used for any other international tournament requiring qualification sanctioned by a player's national SCRABBLE organization.<br />
<br />
== Eligibility ==<br />
<br />
All players wishing to qualify must be NASPA members in good standing.<br />
<br />
United States citizens and permanent residents are eligible.<br />
<br />
Players may not register for the qualification process if they have already registered <br />
to qualify for another nation. If a player registers to play for the U.S. and then <br />
withdraws to attempt to represent another nation at SCT 2014, they will be ineligible <br />
to compete for the U.S. at the next SCT.<br />
<br />
== Assumptions and Caveats ==<br />
<br />
It is unknown but assumed for the purposes of the process defined below: <br />
<br />
The SCT will be held sometime between September and December of 2014. <br />
If it is held earlier in the year than September, the end of the Qualifying <br />
Period, deadline for process registration, and the dates for the Qualifying <br />
Tournament will be moved earlier accordingly. <br />
<br />
The United States will have between 13 and 15 slots for the 2014 SCT. <br />
If the WESPA process of awarding slots changes and the US has fewer than 13 or <br />
greater than 15 slots available, then the number of slots available at the <br />
Qualifying Tournament will be adjusted accordingly.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Registering for the qualification process ==<br />
<br />
Players who intend to claim a spot on the team as one of the top 10 finishers at <br />
the 2013 SCT or who intend to qualify on the basis of peak rating must register and <br />
commit to play by the end of the Qualification Period (see below). Any player who <br />
qualifies by peak rating or top ten finish, registers for the process, and withdraws <br />
after the end of the Qualification Period will be ineligible to play on the U.S. team at <br />
the the next SCT. Players wishing to register should contact [[Sam Kantimathi]] and <br />
[[John Chew]]. <br />
<br />
The deadline for registering for the qualification tournament will be announced <br />
after the date for the tournament is set. All players in the qualifying tournament must <br />
agree to attend the SCT if they qualify. Any player who qualifies via the qualifying <br />
tournament and withdraws after the completion of the qualifying tournament will be <br />
ineligible to play on the U.S. team at the next SCT.<br />
<br />
== Qualified players ==<br />
<br />
The following players have qualified to represent the USA at the 2014 SCT: <br />
<br />
# Qualified via top ten overall finish at 2013 SCT: <br />
# Qualified via peak rating: <br />
# Qualified via Qualification tournament: <br />
<br />
== Registered player list ==<br />
<br />
The following players have registered for the qualification process:<br />
<br />
== Qualification period (QP) ==<br />
<br />
The qualification period begins with the 2013 National Scrabble Championship <br />
and ends Memorial Day Weekend 2014 (although see Assumptions and Caveats <br />
above). A qualification tournament (QT) will be held in June or July of 2014 (again, <br />
see Assumptions and Caveats). <br />
<br />
Note: Tournaments that are in progress at the beginning or end of the QP were <br />
considered to fall within the QP.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Available spots ==<br />
<br />
<br />
It is assumed that the United States will be represented by between thirteen and fifteen players in 2014. (see Assumptions and Caveats above)<br />
<br />
== Criteria (in order) ==<br />
<br />
=== 1. [[World English-language Scrabble Players' Association]] (WESPA) bye(s) ===<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Any spots awarded by WESPA (for example, for being a finalist at the previous SCT, or for being champion of the WYSC) do not count against the United States' allotment.<br />
<br />
=== 2. Top ten overall finishers from the [[2013 World SCRABBLE Championship]] ===<br />
<br />
<br />
Any American finishing in the overall top ten in the 2013 SCT will be invited to <br />
represent the US in the 2014 SCT, provided they maintain NASPA membership and <br />
play the minimum number of tournament games in QP. If any of these players <br />
decline to play, then additional spots will be determined by peak rating. <br />
<br />
=== 3. Qualification tournament (QT) ===<br />
<br />
<br />
Four spots will be determined by a 20-game qualification tournament that will be <br />
held in June or July of 2014. Details about the tournament will be announced later. <br />
To be eligible for the QT, players must meet the eligibility requirements for <br />
representing the US at the 2014 SCT as enumerated above. The participation <br />
requirement does not apply to players who wish to qualify via the QT. Players who <br />
sign up for the QT will be automatically registered for the qualifying process, and <br />
must commit to play the SCT if they earn a spot.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== 4. Peak NASPA SOWPODS rating (PR) ===<br />
<br />
The remainder of slots (depending on the number of Americans in the top ten, <br />
and the overall team allocation) will be determined by peak rating during the QP. <br />
A player must have played at least 31 fully rated (CSW) NASPA games before their <br />
post-tournament rating will count as a peak rating. The final rating from any fully rated tournament once this participation requirement is met may be used as a PR. <br />
<br />
Any bonus points will count as a part of a person’s PR. <br />
<br />
Ratings following tournaments which are not fully rated (ie, LCTs) will not count <br />
as a peak rating, but any such games played will count as 1/3 of a game towards fulfilling the participation requirement.<br />
<br />
==== PR tie-breakers ====<br />
<br />
<br />
# Head-to-head records among tied players in fully rated games during the QP. <br />
# Second highest rating achieved after playing at least 31 games in the QP. <br />
# Highest rating achieved after any fully rated tournament in the QP. <br />
# Number of CSW games played in the QP. <br />
# Drawing of lots.<br />
<br />
== Qualification Standings ==<br />
<br />
<br />
== Alternates ==<br />
<br />
Any spots opened by withdrawl of a player after the applicable deadline (end <br />
