The [[2011 National SCRABBLE Championship]] was held at the

 +
the same location as the previous year. A total of 327 players
 +
played in at least one game. [[Nigel Richards]] became the second
 +
person (after [[Joe Edley]]) to win Division 1 three times, and the
 +
first person to successfully defend the Championship.

 +
In Division 1, [[Joel Sherman]] began with an unprecedented
 +
two-day, 14-game winning streak but finished well out of the
 +
money. At the start of the final day, four players were tied on

wins; and in the end, three remained so.
