Latest revision as of 09:59, 14 June 2023

This page is no longer maintained as June 14, 2023. There is now a single Club Roster for all clubs.

One of the key strengths of the SCRABBLE game is that it can be enjoyed at many different levels. Recognizing that not everyone wants to learn a set of tournament rules or even study the official word list, we established our list of Recreational Clubs in July 2013. We hope that after you have played at a Recreational Club for a while, you'll want to see if you've got what it takes at one of our competitive clubs.

Registering a Recreational Club

To register a new club, complete the Club Listing Request form and submit it.

In order to maintain registered status, clubs must meet the following criteria:

Changing Club Information

Please keep us up to date when things change at your recreational club. Send changes pertaining to club location, meeting time, address, email, website, or anything shown on your club listing to the Club Committee  naspa-club-directors@yahoogroups.com.

Recreational vs. Competitive Club: What are the differences?

Competitive Recreational
Director Certification Must have a certified Director Can be operated by a regular member
Exclusivity 50-mile exclusion on other competitive clubs on same night of week none
Rules Must abide by Code of Conduct, Rules and Director's Manual Must abide by Code of Conduct
Records Accomplishments officially recognized
in our Records page
Play is considered informal,
not for records
Insurance Club activities are covered by NASPA's
Liability Insurance Certificate
