This year the format is likely to be a round robin with 14 Aussies and 10 Kiwis and will be hosted in Sydney from 5-7 Nov 2022.
This event will be rated within Australia. Many New Zealand players have a rating in the Australian rating data base. The lexicon is Collins Scrabble Words 2019.
The primary criterion for ranking candidates is the Q statistic calculated like this:
If two players have the same Q statistic, the one with the greater number of games in the qualification period is ranked higher. Contenders please inform Barry Harridge (nro@scrabble.org.au) and Bob Jackman (rjackman@ozemail.com.au) when you have decided yes or no. The sooner we know, the better prepared other contenders can be.
