Club Scrabble play in Canada and the United States is administered by NASPA and its Club Committee.
We maintain a club roster listing the clubs that meet across North America and their meeting times.
NASPA clubs are identified as a NASPA Club followed by a number and are run by a NASPA-certified director.
We also listed other clubs that are run by a NASPA member. The accomplishments of those clubs are not eligible for official recognition.
There is no fee for starting or continuing a NASPA club. The fee initially charged has been discontinued.
Club websites may be listed as long as they do not contain inappropriate material or links to inappropriate material as periodically reviewed by the Club Committee.
Unless otherwise requested, only the first director listed in the response to the NASPA request for club information will be listed.
To register a new club, complete the Club Listing Request form and submit it.
In order to maintain registered status, clubs must meet the following criteria:
Please keep us up to date when things change at your club. Send changes pertaining to club location, meeting time, address, email, website, or anything shown on your club listing to the Club Committee club@scrabbleplayers.org .
Complete this survey to let us know if your club is meeting online. We will update the club listing to indicate you are meeting online.
Some clubs use Expert Points (one point for each club game win) to encourage and celebrate club achievements. They can be a motivating factor for the newcomer to continue attending your club. Those certificates reflect many hard-fought victories.
Certificates may only be awarded to current members of NASPA. It is up to the club director to notify the Club Committee (club@scrabbleplayers.org) which Expert Award certificates should be awarded and what level. Levels of achievement are: 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000 and every 250 wins thereafter.
