2011 NSC Schedule

This schedule for the 2011 National SCRABBLE Championship may be modified to add new events, or possibly to change locations. Also, until about a month before the event, it should be considered an early draft, with only the times for registration and the main event to be set in stone. Once the event begins, please check this schedule for changes at the beginning of each day.

See also our calendar of fun events that are open to NSC competitors and their guests.
