The
'''[[2011 Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship]]''' (CNSC) features an open rated '''Early Bird''' (EB) event, which takes place on Friday, June 10 at the Bond Place Hotel in Toronto, immediately preceding the CNSC main event (ME).

== Eligibility ==

Players must be NASPA [[Membership|members]] in good
standing, but do not have to have qualified for the
ME, and in particular do not have to be Canadian citizens
or residents. Membership may be purchased at registration:
$30 for a one-year adult membership, $19 for a one-event
membership for rated players, $15 for a six-month trial
membership for rated players, $15 for a one-year youth
membership, or free for a six-month membership for
[[National School SCRABBLE Championship]] contestants.

== Main Event Qualification ==

In [http://scrabble-assoc.com/tourneys/2008/csc/build/index.html 2008], the CNSC EB was also a qualifying tournament (QT)
for the ME. This year, there were two separate QTs held in
Alberta and Ontario, and this EB is just a warm-up event,
with no [[2011 Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship qualification system|qualification path]] from it to the ME.

== Registration ==

Players should register by informing [[John Chew]] that
they wish to play. Space is limited to about 30 players,
and will be assigned based on the order in which
registrations are received. An entry fee of CAD 30.00
may be paid either by cheque prior to June 3rd (John
will be at the June 1st meeting of the Toronto Scrabble
Club), or by cash at the door.

== Format ==

All players will play in one open division, using
[[tsh]] pairings beginning with the standard
round robin groups of four players randomly selected
from each quartile, followed by four rounds of Chew
pairings, including Gibsonization on spread.

70% of the net entry fees (less participation fees)
will be returned to players in prizes, including at
least one class prize for every ten players.

== Schedule ==

Please see the [[2011 Canadian National SCRABBLE Championship schedule#Friday, July 10|main event schedule]] for full details of the early bird schedule.

Players, especially those who intend to pay their entry fee
at the door, must arrive during the registration period: 8:30–9:00 A.M. If you are running late, please call John Chew at his cellphone at 416-876-7675 before 9:00 A.M. to be included in the day’s pairings.

Seven rounds of play begin at 9:15 A.M. and end at 6:30 P.M., punctuated by two coffee breaks (catered by the hotel) and one lunch break (for which players are on their own).

Main event registration will run from 7:00–7:30 P.M.

== Registered Players ==

A list of registered players will be posted soon on [[Cross-tables.com]].

== Further Information ==

For more information, please contact tournament director [[John Chew]].
