I hybrid significance test, which blends exact and asymptotic theory in a unique way, is presided as an alternative to Fisher's exact test for unordered rxc contingency tables. The hybrid test is almost equivlent to Fisher's exact test, but requires considerably less computational effort The accuracy of the hybrid p-value is not compromised by sparse contingency tables.
