This page lists all prizes to be awarded at the 2009 National SCRABBLE Championship.
We are grateful to Hasbro for increasing their contribution to this second major championship in Dayton, and to our many private donors this year. Overall donations, which amounted to the equivalent of four divisions' prize funds in 2007, are down significantly this year, and pay for only two. We are nonetheless happy to be able to offer a Division 5 prize fund that is between 2007 and 2008 values on a per player basis, prize funds for Divisions 2, 3 and 4 which are between 2007 and 2008 gross values and awarding the 2009 National Scrabble Champion the top prize of $10,000.
In addition, all division winners will receive personalized commemorative boards designed by Kelly Smith.
Inquiries concerning the allocation of the prize fund should be directed to this year’s budget committee, consisting of John Chew and Mary Rhoades, preferably after the conclusion of the Championship.
Complete lists of prizewinners by division are available at this web site: Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, Division 4 and Division 5.
Congratulations to 2009 National SCRABBLE Champion Dave Wiegand.
