Format
The standard for School Scrabble® is to play games 2-on-2, which encourage because it fosters greater learning, teamwork and inclusivity. However, in this event, players will be permitted to play on their own if they choose to, which would mean there would be some 1-on-1 and 1-on-2 matchups.
Players may be placed into divisions based on grade level, depending on final registration numbers.

The Intro to Collins tournament will introduce players to Collins Scrabble® Words, which is the primary lexicon used for SCRABBLE® outside North America. For more info about Collins, see the Lexica page.
