== Sanctioning Tournaments ==
NASPA maintains its [http://www.scrabbleplayers.org{{SERVER}}/tourneys/calendar.html calendar] of
sanctioned tournaments as an information resource for its members. You may use the [[Media:Tournament_Listing_Information.pdf|Tournament Listing Form]] to gather information about your tournament for sanctioning. Registered directors must apply to the [[Tournament Committee]] to add fully rated tournaments (and, effective September 1, 2010, all rated tournaments) to the calendar by emailing the committee mailing list
[mailto:naspa-tourney@yahoogroups.com naspa-tourney@yahoogroups.com].
All tournament players, whether a newbie or someone with a rating who hasn't joined NASPA yet, must join NASPA in order to play in your tournament. Here are some scenarios that might apply to your tournament:
1. You are gathering entries for your tournament and you look on cross-tables to see if they are members. [http://cross-tables.com/ Cross-tables] says "check with NASPA". You check on the [http://scrabbleplayers.org{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/members.pl NASPA member database], accessible by clicking on "Member Search" on the sidebar. If they have a member number in the NASPA database, they are good to go. Occasionally a membership does not show up on Cross-tables right away but will already be listed on the NASPA database.
2. You are gathering entries for your tournament and you agree to let someone join NASPA at the door. If you know ahead of time that one or more people are going to do this, go to [http://scrabbleplayers.org{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/services.pl Member Services] and click on the “Add New Member” button in the Director section. Fill out all the membership information and then choose “Payment with your next tournament’ participation fee” payment method. Your players’ memberships will be activated right away, and a charge will be placed on your [http://www.scrabbleplayers.org{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/account.pl account] with NASPA, so that it will be totalled with your participation fee after your tournament.
3. You are checking in players the day of the tournament and you have a walk-in who is not a member.
