- A4. Upcoming North American tournaments
-
-
- Please see the improved official NSA tournament listing, which
- <http://www.scrabble-assoc.com/tourneys/calendar.htm>, which finally
- is a workable substitute for this one, maintained on Usenet since
- 1993 and the Web since 1994. This will be used for supplemental
- information, since corporate strictures keep the NSA site from
- linking to outside sites.
-
-
- Players must be members of NSA to play in their second and succeeding
- tournaments. A player whose rating is within 100 point of its cutoff
- generally may play in a higher division, subject to the needs of the
- tournament.
