Scrabble NSW endeavours to allow its members to be able to play to the lexicon of their choice a majority of the time. This includes its growing number of junior members.

To this end we have introduced the concept of 'hybrid' tournaments. Essentially a hybrid tournament is one in which both lexicons can be in play depending on player choice. If one player indicates a preference for CSW22, then that lexicon must be used in that player's games. Otherwise the default dictionary CSW19 will apply. Hybrid tournaments will be the new norm unless the tournament organiser specifies CSW19 or CSW22.

Players wishing to use CSW22 at a hybrid tournament should make it known of their desire to use that lexicon. That can be done at time of entry to the tournament, on the day by annotation of the player list or prior to the game commencing by indicating CSW22 on the result slip.
