To encourage youth Scrabble players, NASPA established the Youth Achievement Awards in 2017.
Achievement Points
Youth players are awarded achievement points for competing successfully in NASPA-rated, School Scrabble, and Youth Scrabble tournaments.
Players get 1 point for each tournament they finish, plus 1 point for each game they win. Both members of a team get full points in School Scrabble events.
In addition, bonus points are awarded to the top 4 finishers in each division of a tournament:
- 5 points for 1st
- 3 points for 2nd
- 2 points for 3rd
- 1 point for 4th
Award Categories
The award season runs from the beginning of a NASPA Championship to the beginning of the next championship where the winners will be announced.
There are 3 grade categories of Youth Achievement Awards:
- High School - Grades 9 through 12
- Middle School - Grades 6 through 8
- Elementary School - Grades 1 through 5
Players in each category will be recognized for the most achievement points earned.
Players finishing the year with the highest NASPA rating in each category will also be honored.
