Until September 1, 2021, only groups of fully vaccinated players can participate in the North American Scrabble Players
Association's sanctioned tournaments and club sessions. These players will sign in that they are asymptomatic, will have
provided proof of immunization, and sign a waiver releasing NASPA and the local facility of liability. A copy of this form is
available and should be reviewed ahead of time. FORM After September 1, according to the current plan, the NASPA
requirements will be lifted, except that tournaments and club sessions must follow the rules of the facility, local, and state
government. CDC recommendations will certainly be taken into account as well.
