The Club has developed an on-line solving and adjudication system called
ACCOLADE (
Australian Crossword Club
On-Line
ADjudication and Evaluation system).
Members may click on any of the crosswords for the month, solve them on-line or by traditional methods and then submit them for adjudication.
Crosswords may be partially completed and saved and then completed later with no limit on the number of re-submissions to cater for second thoughts.
Spell-check facilities are provided at little more than the click of a button.
The solver receives an automatic email to confirm receipt of his submission
Once the competition has closed, Accolade automatically displays the next month's puzzles, checks all submissions and provides solving errors to the official Adjudicator for the month. It also selects prizewinners at random for each puzzle and provides the monthly results for publication in CrOZworld After the competition has closed members may resubmit their crosswords for evaluation and obtain an explanation of the derivation of the solutions from the clues.
