NSC 2011: Judy Newhouse [#106]
[
Congratulations to Nigel Richards, three-time National SCRABBLE Champion, on successfully defending his title this year. Please note that as of September 2011, Division 3 Winner Suhas Rao has been stripped of his title as a result of a disciplinary process, and that all other players in that division have been moved up one rank; these changes have not been reflected in the live coverage pages.
