Most tournaments are organised by ASPA in individual states. Some are organised by a club, in cooperation with the state ASPA.
Please check with State tournament calendars for confirmation, further details or flyers: NSW Qld Vic SA (PDF)
Tournament organisers must adhere to the criteria for ratability (see details below), and after the tournament must promptly submit a TOU file with details of all games to nro@scrabble.org.au
Generally, a tournament will be rated if it meets the criteria of a standard tournament. Non-standard tournaments may still be rated if they are approved for rating by CASPA on the recommendation of advisers appointed.
CASPA has the right to veto the rating of any tournament, either before or after the event, which fails to meet the criteria. Internet and handicapped tournaments will not be rated.
A tournament is non-standard if it varies in any aspect from the criteria listed above under “Standard Tournament”.
Requests specifying proposed variations to standard tournament criteria are to be submitted in writing by the State Committee to CASPA at least 3 weeks prior to the event.
Approved variations to a standard tournament will be specified in all advertising.There are some important tournaments which are the responsibility of the national body CASPA. There is a year roster which assigns the running of each tournament to a state organisation. These events are The Australian Championship and Plate, The Australian Masters and State Challenge, The Trans-Tasman (when held in Australia)
CASPA also liaises with the organisers of major international tournaments such as the World English Language Scrabble Association Championship and the Causeway Challenge. CASPA also determines criteria for selection for these.
Some Australian tournaments are also shown as internationally rated by
WGI
(see WGI TOURNAMENTS
or WESPA
(see WESPA TOURNAMENTS).

Revolving Round Robin 9 gamesPlayers are initially divided into groups of 4, according to Australian rating, or equivalent. After the initial round-robin of 3 games, the subunits are changed - the best performer in each group of 4 is promoted, in favour of the player with the lowest result in the higher group. This action is repeated after game 6, based on performance in games 4 to 6. At the end of the day, the player with the best overall result (wins and margins over 9 games) will be awarded the first place. |
