Selection process

This is an invitational event where players are selected by each participating country. For Australia the selection is done by the Council of Australian Scrabble Players Association. The rules for selection for free entry (ie the Australian quota places) in 2024 are:
  • You must be an Australian citizen, or have resided in Australia for at least 12 months prior to 31.07.2024.
  • You must be an ASPA member (or junior member, in NSW) at 31.07.2024
  • You must be born 1 Jan 2007 or later
  • The qualifying period is 01.08.2023 to 31.07.2024.
  • Contenders are ranked by their peak rating over the qualifying period.
  • There are two rating hurdles :
    1. You must have played 50 games within the Australian rating system before any peak.
    2. You must play at least 25 games within the Australian rating system during the qualification period.
  • If you miss a game for any reason other than an assigned bye, you cannot count a peak attained in that tournament for any qualification purposes. Games played will count towards games quotas. Ratings will be calculated as usual, with byes and forfeits not rated.

The secondary criterion is number of rated games within the qualification period. If two players have the same peak rating, the one with the greater number of games in the qualification period is ranked higher.

Please inform Tony Hunt (abcsuphire@gmail.com) if you are aware of any other young Australian Scrabble players.
