National Scrabble Association
The National Scrabble Association was created in 1978 by Selchow & Righter, then the makers of Scrabble, to promote their game. It coordinated local clubs and Scrabble tournaments in North America, including the National Scrabble Championship, until 2009. The last director was John D. Williams, who is co-author of the book Everything Scrabble.
In July 2009, the coordination of tournaments and competitive clubs was transferred to a new organization, North American Scrabble Players Association. The NSA continued to publish Scrabble News and run programs such as the School Scrabble program.
The National Scrabble Association dissolved on July 1, 2013.
