Single division, 8 rounds on Saturday, 6 rounds on Sunday, pairings to be determined. Entry Fee: $60 if rated 1800+; $55 if rated 1600-1799; $50 if rated 1400-1599; $40 if rated under 1400. $30 if no CSW rating and rated under 1600.
Details: Proposed special lexicon format (pending Advisory Board approval): Tournament will use a hybrid format that allows both the TWL and the CSW lexica to be used. If both opponents agree on the lexicon, they will use that word source. If opponents disagree, then the player going SECOND will choose (subject to 4 games minimum in each lexicon). That means that players will have to be prepared to play both TWL and CSW games. Note that games in each lexicon will be rated SEPARATELY. 10 point challenge in CSW only.
