National Scrabble Association- National Association for Scrabble Players

The National SCRABBLE Association organizes the official Scrabble tournaments and Scrabble clubs in the United States and Canada.

The National Scrabble Association was established in 1978 by the people at Selchow & Righter, the owners of SCRABBLE at the time. When Hasbro Games bought the manufacturing and marketing rights for Scrabble, the National Scrabble Association began a long partnership with that corporation.
