<div>NASPA provides a '''RESTful API''' that is extended as needed to accommodate<br />
the needs of developers.<br />
<br />
== General information ==<br />
<br />
All endpoints begin with the prefix https://www.scrabbleplayers.org/rest/v1<br />
<br />
Data is returned as a JSON hash. If an error occurred, the hash will look like: {"error_code":"not-yet","error_text":"unimplemented"}, and can be recognized by the presence of the error_code key. The error_code key will not change once assigned; the error_text might be subject to occasional editing.<br />
<br />
== Authentication ==<br />
<br />
Some endpoints require authentication. To access these in a POST request,<br />
specify a valid NASPA ID as username, and corresponding password as password.<br />
<br />
== Endpoints ==<br />
<br />
Here is an incomplete list of currently supported endpoints.<br />
<br />
=== Players ===<br />
<br />
; /players/''naspaid''<br />
: return a hash of public information about the player whose alphanumeric NASPA ID is ''naspaid''<br />
<br />
=== Tournaments ===<br />
<br />
; /tourney/''nnn''<br />
: return a hash of information about the tournament whose numeric id is ''nnn'' <br />

<hr />
<div>NASPA '''[[Zyzzyva]]''' version 3.4.1 was released on 2024-03-11 for Windows, macOS, and Linux. <br />
<br />
Release 3.4.1 is a maintenance release that supersedes [[NASPA Zyzzyva 3.4.0 |version 3.4.0]]. <br />
<br />
Note that '''the word lists are the same in version 3.4.0 and 3.4.1''' so an upgrade, while strongly recommended, is not required. <br />
<br />
== Updated Definitions ==<br />
<br />
Release 3.4.1 includes updated definition files for [[NWL2023]] and [[NSWL2023]] in both the desktop and mobile editions of NASPA Zyzzvya. <br />
<br />
The updated definition files improve the handling of words that are inflected forms of a word with more than one definition. For example, LED is now defined as < LEAD, to show the way to by going in advance [v] instead of < LEAD, to cover with lead (a heavy metallic element) [v].<br />
<br />
You will need to rebuild the lexicon database for the NWL2023 and/or NSWL2023 lexicon in order to see the updated definitions. <br />
<br />
* In the desktop application (NASPA Zyzzyva), use the Tools > Rebuild Database menu action to rebuild any or all lexicon databases.<br />
* In the mobile app (NASPA Zyzzyva Mobile), open the Settings tab and then:<br />
# Use the Lexicon page to edit the load list, unloading any lexicons that you don’t intend to use.<br />
# On the main Settings page, swipe left on the Create Lexicon Databases row to expose the Rebuild All button, then press the button, and follow the instructions.<br />
* If you use data synchronization on multiple devices, you should rebuild on one linked device, sync the changed databases up to Dropbox, and then sync them down to your other devices.<br />
<BR/><br />
''Note:This change has no effect on judging, which does not require the creation of lexicon databases.''<br />
<br />
== Issues Fixed In Desktop Versions ==<br />
<br />
* An important bug affecting active synchronization of quiz-statistics / cardbox databases on Windows has been fixed.<br />
* Playability order values have been regenerated from robot games played using Quackle settings that are more representative of actual game play.<br />
* The Reorder button in Quiz tabs now reorders tile images as instructed, even if you have rearranged those images by dragging.<br />
* An unintended keyboard cutout after each response to questions in timed quizzes has been removed.<br />
<br />
== Installation Instructions ==<br />
<br />
For step-by-step installation instructions, see:<br />

* [[NASPA Zyzzyva macOS Installation]]<br />
* [[NASPA Zyzzyva Windows Installation]]<br />

<hr />
<div>NASPA '''[[Zyzzyva]]''' version 3.4.0 was released on 2024-01-20 for Windows, macOS, and Linux.<br />
<br />
As of 2024-03-11,version 3.4.0 has been superseded by [[NASPA Zyzzyva 3.4.1 | version 3.4.1]], which fixes several issues in the desktop version and includes updated definitions.<br />
<br />
Note that the word lists are the same in version 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 so an upgrade, while strongly recommended, is not required.<br />
<br />
== New In This Release ==<br />
<br />
* Added [[NWL2023]] and [[NSWL2023]] lexicons<br />
* Added support for active data synchronization<br />
* Added color coding to distinguish Word Judge screens for different lexicons <br />
<br />
== Installation Instructions ==<br />
<br />
For step-by-step installation instructions, see:<br />
<br />
* [[NASPA Zyzzyva macOS Installation]]<br />
* [[NASPA Zyzzyva Windows Installation]]<br />
* [[NASPA Zyzzyva Linux Installation]]<br />
<br />
== Known Issues ==<br />
<br />
* On Windows (only), active data synchronization (triggered by the Sync Now action) fails to update the local database for any lexicon that has a Quiz tab open. As a result, your cardbox may appear unchanged after you do cardbox quizzes on another device, despite syncing. To avoid this issue, close all Quiz tabs before syncing manually. Note that you can have Zyzzyva automatically synch upon startup. If this problem has already happened, close all open Quiz tabs, go back to that other device, do some more quizzing, and then sync that device; you can then sync your Windows device.</div>Judycolehttps://www.scrabbleplayers.org/w/FW74FW742024-01-20T01:14:37Z<p>CM000003: Created page with "'''FW74''' is the code assigned by the Dictionary Committee in the [{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/word.pl NASPA Word Database] for its source lexicon, the Funk and Wagnalls Standard..."</p>

<br />
== Registration ==<br />
<br />
This section describes in detail the various terms and conditions of registration, most of which are also discussed on the [{{SERVER}}/tourneys/2024/reg/index.html registration form]. <br />
<br />
=== Eligibility ===<br />
<br />
To play in the SPC, you must (1) be a NASPA [[membership|member]], and (2) have played in an officially sanctioned Scrabble tournament to earn an official tournament [[rating]].<br />
If you live in the United States or Canada, that rating should be a NASPA rating; if you live elsewhere, it may be a [[WESPA]] rating or other comparable national rating.<br />
<br />
==== Qualification Rating ====<br />
<br />
Placement into respective divisions is determined by your Qualification Rating (QR).<br />
<br />
Your QR consists of the '''highest rating attained at the end of any NASPA NWL or Collins (CSW)''' rated tournament that finished during the period from July 14, 2023 (the 2023 SPC Early Bird) to June 30, 2024.<br />
<br />
If you have a rating, but do not play during this period, your QR is the higher of your unchanged current NWL or CSW rating. <br />
<br />
For players who have ratings in both lexica, '''the higher peak or current rating will be used''' in most cases. For example, a player whose computed QR is 1810 in CSW and 1600 in NWL will use 1810 as her QR for division placement in either CSW or NWL.<br />
<br />
* If, however, a player has played exclusively in one lexicon for the past 3 years (excluding the COVID-19 moratorium) - that is, since 1/15/2019 - and registers to play in that lexicon, only the QR for that lexicon will be used.<br />
<br />
==== NWL Divisions ====<br />
<br />
Four NWL divisions will be offered, divided by QR. <br />
<br />
Playups are allowed within 100 points to the Championship Division (Division 1). Unlimited playups are allowed in the other divisions. <br />
<br />
*If your QR is 1800 or higher, you must play in Division 1.<br />
*If your QR is in the range 1700–1799, you can play in Division 1 or 2.<br />
*If your QR is in the range 1450–1699, you must play in Division 2.<br />
*If your QR is in the range 1150–1449, you can play in Division 2 or 3.<br />
*If your QR is below 1150, you can play in Division 2, 3, or 4.<br />
<br />
==== Collins Divisions ====<br />
<br />
There will be 2 Collins divisions, divided by QR.<br />
<br />
*If your QR is 1600 or higher, you must play in Division 1.<br />
*If it is 1599 or below, you can play in Division 1 or 2.<br />
<br><br />
Players who only have a WESPA rating will be permitted to play in Division 1 or 2 if that rating is 1499 or below.<br />
<br />
If there are fewer than 20 players registered in either division as of June 15, 2023, the divisions will be automatically combined into a single division. Players wishing to switch to NWL after divisions are combined will be allowed to do so at no charge. <br />
<br />
The Collins division will be run using NASPA rules, except that the Collins lexicon will be used and the challenge penalty will be 5 points per word. The Collins division will rated by both NASPA and WESPA.<br />
<br />
=== Entry Fees ===<br />
<br />
The base entry fee for all divisions is $250.<br />
<br />
The Early and Late Birds each have a separate entry fee - $20.<br />
<br />
Youths, defined as those whose 18th birthday is on or after July 20, 2024, pay 1/2 of the base entry fee - $125.<br />
<br />
The above fees will be increased by $50 after May 31, 2024. For example, a non-youth player signing up for the SPC on June 1, 2024, would pay $300, while a youth would pay $175.<br />
<br />
Players accepted after the close of registration on July 3, 2024 must pay a $75 late penalty. For example, a non-youth player signing up for the SPC on July 5, 2024, would pay $375, while a youth would pay $250. Acceptance of registrants after July 3, 2024 is not guaranteed and will generally only be permitted if it does not cause a division to be uneven.<br />
<br />
Fees payable are computed based on when (Eastern Time) funds are received in full. If you are not paying right away online at the moment when you register, please be sure to allow enough time for your mailed payment to reach us.<br />
<br />
=== Commuter / Facility Fee ===<br />
<br />
'''Players not booked IN THE ROOM BLOCK at one of the host hotels for the duration of the SPC Main Event must also pay a commuter / facility fee of $20 per day ($100 maximum per event).''' <br />
<br />
*Players booked at a host hotel but outside of the room block will be subject to the commuter fee.<br />
*The commuter fee does not apply to those local to the South Bend–Elkhart–Mishawaka Combined Statistical Area.<br />
<br><br />
Verification of status as a hotel guest will be performed at registration/check-in and throughout the event. Players staying at the host hotel for only part of the championship must pay the full commuter fee and may then apply for a refund of $20 per day stayed at a host hotel after the conclusion of the championship, by providing the Championship Committee with hotel confirmation number and dates of stay.<br />

<br />
In particular, games at this tournament - probably the highest Division 1 board without a Gibsonized player - will be annotated and/or streamed live.

=== Equipment Required ===<br />
Participants in the Scrabble Players Championship are responsible for bringing all equipment necessary to play in the tournament. If neither player in a game has equipment available for their game, a double forfeit may be imposed.<br />
<br />
=== Changes ===<br />
The [[Championship Committee]] reserves the right to modify the above to account for unforeseen special circumstances.<br />
<br />
== Tournament Format ==<br />
<br />
=== Main Event ===<br />
Players will be paired using [[tsh]], with Gibsonization (determined by number of games plus spread - 1000 points per round).<br />
<br />
The winners of the top divisions in both NWL and CSW lexicons shall be determined as follows:<br />
<br />
*After Round 28, the top two players (as determined by record and spread) will enter a best of five playoff to determine champion and runner-up.<br />
<br />

=== Early and Late Bird Format ===<br />
<br />
Chew pairings will be in effect (with no fixed initial schedule), with Gibsonization (determined by number of games plus spread - 1000 points per round).<br />
<br />
No division will have more than 16 players. If four or more players prefer [[Collins]], they will play in a separate Collins division.<br />
<br />
== Check-In ==<br />
<br />
To play in the first round on Saturday morning, you must check in between 10:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. on Friday, July 19, 2024.<br />
<br />
You may ask a friend to check in for you by proxy if you cannot check in in person.<br />
*If possible, please specify the name of the proxy when you register.<br />
*Otherwise, email us at [mailto:nsc@scrabbleplayers.org nsc@scrabbleplayers.org] to notify us in advance of proxy arrangements.<br />
*If you check in by proxy, but do not show up to play, then neither you nor your proxy will be permitted to check in by proxy at future events.<br />
<br><br />
If you do not check in before the desk closes at 6:00 P.M., you may join the championship in progress as soon as it is convenient for the pairings staff to add you back in; this may not take place before Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
No refund will be issued to latecomers.<br />
<br />
When you check in, you will be given an announcement sheet. This is to reduce the number of announcements that have to be made on Saturday morning, so that the event can get underway quickly. You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the announcements and tournament schedule.<br />
