The NZASP is the umbrella organisation for organised
Scrabble in NZ. There are 27 affiliated clubs and about 30 independent
members. This represents a total of over 350 players.
NZ uses the Collins Scrabble Tournament
and Club Word List 2007 (CSW) as the word authority.
We operate the five point penalty challenge rule, which means that when correct words
are challenged the player who played the word(s) receives an additional five
points for every word challenged. When incorrect words are challenged the player
who played the word(s) loses his/her turn.
NZ is currently represented by 5 players at the World Scrabble
Championships. The highest placing achieved was in
2007 when Nigel Richards won.
