&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This page describes the '''format''' of the [[2009 National SCRABBLE Championship]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In each round, the top contenders are paired with each other, and everyone else is paired Swiss.&lt;br /&gt;
These two groups, contenders and noncontenders, are paired with minimal repeats. For example,&lt;br /&gt;
if there is no way to pair the contenders without at least one repeat, then they will be paired&lt;br /&gt;
with one repeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum number of contenders is 12 in Rounds 1-28, 8 in Round 29, 4 in Round 30 and 2 in Round 31.&lt;br /&gt;
The contenders are further divided into a subgroup of leaders and non-leaders, if this can be done without&lt;br /&gt;
increasing the number of required repeats while maintaining at least four players among the leaders. &lt;br /&gt;
Leaders are paired by repeatedly having the top unpaired player play the lowest-ranked player that can&lt;br /&gt;
catch up to them.  Non-leaders are paired Swiss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For further information about this pairing system, please refer to the section on ''Chew pairings'' in the&lt;br /&gt;
[http://tsh.poslfit.com/doc/pairing.html#chew tsh documentation]. &lt;br /&gt;
