2021 North American SCRABBLE Championship

2021 North American SCRABBLE Championship Canceled

NASPA Family and Friends,

While this announcement is not unexpected, it is also not without disappointment: the North American SCRABBLE Championship (NASC) will be suspended for another year while the world continues to deal with the travel and assembly restrictions brought on by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Championship Committee is encouraged by both the distribution and further development of vaccines and has every expectation that we will resume our event next summer with a target date of July 23 to 27, 2022.

What we are unsure of is what restrictions may still be in place next summer and how that may impact the already capped attendance. We are under the assumption that the cap will be lowered, and if so, this would lead to an entry fee increase.

If you left your 2020 NASC entry fee with us, you have the option to roll it over again with the same guarantees - your seat is secure for the 2022 NASC with no price increase.

Upon confirming your 2022 rollover entry, we'll gift you the exclusive 2020/2021 NASC face mask - available only to the first 100 players who reserve their spot now. If you'd like a refund instead, we will of course accommodate your request.

I thank you all for your patience and understanding. Hope to see you all in Baltimore next year!

Art Moore, NASC Director
