This page describes the qualification system for the 2011 Can-Am SCRABBLE Challenge, an invitational event for the top players from Canada and the United States.
Players who wish to qualify must meet a minimum participation requirement of 24 rated tournament games played during the qualification period.
Players will qualify based on peak rating (PR). A player’s PR is defined as his or her highest un-accelerated rating that satisfies the following conditions:
“Un-accelerated” means that acceleration points earned in a tournament are deducted from the player’s post-tournament rating before it is considered for a peak rating.
If two or more players have the same PR, then the tie will be broken by each player's second highest PR eligible rating. If still tied then the tie will be broken by drawing of lots.
