== Annual Highlights ==

=== 2011 ===

The [[2011 National SCRABBLE Championship]] was held at the
InterContinental Hotel in Addison, a suburb of Dallas, Texas,
the same location as the previous year. A total of 327 players
played in at least one game. [[Nigel Richards]] became the second
person (after [[Joe Edley]]) to win Division 1 three times, and the
first person to successfully defend the Championship.

In Division 1, [[Joel Sherman]] began with an unprecedented
two-day, 14-game winning streak but finished well out of the
money. At the start of the final day, four players were tied on
wins; and in the end, three remained so.

This event was the last of four events directed by [[Mary Rhoades]].
Division Leaders were [[John Robertson]] (assisted by [[Lynn Sneed]],
[[Dallas Johnson]] (assisted by [[Sue Grogan-Johnson]])
[[Bennett Jacobstein]] (assisted by [[John Merlau]])
and [[Dan Stock]] (assisted by [[Amy Krafchick]]).
Data entry was performed by [[Tim Crotty]], [[Reese Daniel]]
and [[Chris Wiegand]]. [[Sherrie Saint John]] provided color
commentary and photos. [[John D. WIlliams, Jr.]] and
[[Katie Schulz]] of the NSA worked PR. [[Chris Cree]] and [[John Chew]]
were on site representing NASPA as needed.

Side events listed on the official schedule were the Staff/Director
Early Bird (directed by [[John Chew]], and rated for the first time),
the Lunch Bird (directed by Dan Horowitz), a Trivia Competition
(directed by [[Bennett Jacobstein]]) and a Tag Team Tourney
(directed by [[Brian Galebach]]).

It was the first event to feature color-coded tablecloths for each
division. Player feedback listed by a wide margin their
favorite feature of the event as
[[Stefan Fatsis]]' reading from the additional content in the 10th
anniversary reprint of [[Word Freak]].
