What is NASPAWiki (scrabbleplayers.org)?

NASPAWiki is the official wiki and information site of NASPA, the North American Scrabble Players Association. It serves competitive and club Scrabble players, plus avid home players, as a hub for membership services, club and tournament listings, official rules, ratings, and organizational news. If you want to find a club, enter a tournament, check a rating, or understand the rules that govern sanctioned play, this is the reference site. It is an information and membership site, not a place to play Scrabble itself.

Who runs it and who it's for

NASPA describes itself as "a community of tournament, club and avid home Scrabble players," and the site states it has supported "Competitive Scrabble Play since 2009." Its stated goal is to foster a safe environment where players of all skill levels can play, improve, and meet others who share an interest in the game.

That makes the site relevant to three broad groups:

• Tournament players who need rules, ratings, and event schedules.
• Club players looking for local groups and regular play.
• Home players who want to improve, study word lists, or eventually try organized play.

What you can actually do on the site

The wiki is organized around a few practical functions rather than a single feed of content.

Membership and member services

You can join NASPA or renew an existing membership, and access member services once you're in. The site also lists a member search and member/director services. Note that the site references a "Make a Payment" page and uses the word "subscribe," so some functions involve payment or subscription — the site does not state that membership or these services are free, so treat cost as something to confirm on the relevant page rather than assume.

Clubs and tournaments

• Find a Club — locate a NASPA-affiliated club near you.
• Find a Tournament and Upcoming Tournaments — see scheduled events.
• Past Tournament Results — look up how events finished.
• Championships — information on NASPA championship events, including a page for the 2027 Scrabble Players Championship.

Rules, conduct, and ratings

• Membership Rules and Code of Conduct — the standards that apply to sanctioned play.
• Ratings and Find My Rating — look up player ratings.
• Director Manual and List of Accommodations — resources for tournament directors and for accessibility needs.

Improvement and study tools

The site points members toward power moves to strengthen strategy, word lists to expand vocabulary, and apps for anagramming, study, and mobile play. It also links to live play, archived games, and commentary for those who want to watch high-level Scrabble.

Staying connected

NASPA offers several channels:

• A news email list (the site promotes getting "the latest NASPA News directly to your inbox").
• Social media on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.
• An online community hosted on "Hello by Grouper."
• A NASPA Store for merchandise.

A note on the site itself

NASPAWiki is a wiki, so it includes standard wiki tools — page history, recent changes, a random page link, and a printable version. It also serves a condensed mobile version with a link to switch to the full version. Because it's a wiki, content can be edited over time, so for anything time-sensitive (like a tournament date or a rule change), check the current page rather than relying on an old copy.

Quick orientation

Start with the section that matches your goal. If you're new to organized Scrabble, the club finder and the rules pages are the most useful first stops; if you're already competing, the ratings and tournament pages will be your regular references.
