New page

The [[2013 National SCRABBLE Championship]] will
include a fourth annual '''Early Bird'''
tournament, which will again be a NASPA-rated event.
This tournament offers a playing opportunity
to a group of players who can play in fewer
SCRABBLE tournaments than others: NSC staff
and other NASPA directors.
The event will take place in the main tournament playing room,
and will be directed by [[John Chew]].

== Results ==

Results will be available from a link to be posted here after the event.

In order to play in this tournament, you must
be listed as

or
[[2013 National SCRABBLE Championship#Other_Volunteers|other volunteers]]
on the NSC web page,
or you must be a certified NASPA
[[Director]] in good standing
(apprentices welcome).

If you’re interested in playing, please
