Finding Pairings
When we begin a tournament, we generally provide a paper scorecard with 1-3 rounds of paired games. Sometimes you'll be paired for more games if there is a round robin.
If you don't know who your next opponent is, there are a few ways to find out
Head to letsplayscrabble.com/standings on your phone or other device
Find a "pairings computer" inside the playing room.
The pairings computer has a simple screen with the round number, names, players' photos, who plays who, table number if used, and who goes first.
Each computer will have a color coded card with the Division name next to it. It will match your table sign.
In this example
In round 15, Deen Hergott will go 1st, and he is playing Jon Shreve.
Another way to find your next round pairing is on the Standings Computers. You'll find those computers outside the game room. The Standings Computers are a little more "busy" with information, but you can check both your next pairing AND your standing in the tournament.
In this example, on the left hand side of the box, you'll see what place you are in, your record and spread.
On the right side of your player box you'll see your last game (player and score), and your next opponent and his/her photo, table number if used, and if you are 1st or 2nd.
In this example
Seth Lipkin is 9 1/2 and 4 1/2 with a spread of +892. Below his photo is his current rating of 1945, he's up 29 rating points in this event
His last opponent was Jackson Smylie
His next opponent is Max Panitch, and Seth is 1st. This is also a repeat.
