National Scrabble Championship (UK)

The UK National Scrabble Championship (NSC) is a British national scrabble tournament, held annually since its inception in 1971 (except 1995, 2020, and 2021). While it was formerly organised by Mattel, the copyright owner of Scrabble in the UK, since 2014 it has been organised by Association of British Scrabble Players (ABSP). It is one of five major scrabble tournaments in the UK. The other four comprise the UK Open, the British Isles Elimination Scrabble Tournament (BEST), the British Matchplay Scrabble Championship (BMSC) and the UK Masters. The current UK champion is Paul Allan.
