The Association of British Scrabble Players (ABSP) is the association which coordinates all tournament Scrabble in the UK.

Our members include the best players in the country and people who enjoy tournaments mainly as social events. We also have non-tournament players who join just to receive our magazine, OnBoard. This is published every two months with many Scrabble-related articles and puzzles, as well as details of all upcoming rated tournaments (with entry forms enclosed). Members also get an annual handbook and price reductions on all rated events.

We have been providing support for tournament organisers and directors since 1987, and we maintain a ratings system which incorporates results from around 70 rated events across the country every year. Have a look at the Calendar and Results sections to learn more. See the Advice for New Players to find out how to enter a tournament, and what it's like to play in one.

ABSP membership is just £15 for 2013, or £7.50 if you provide proof you are under 18 at the time of joining/renewing. Your subscription covers six issues of OnBoard magazine delivered to your doorstep or your e-mail in-box, plus a members' handbook and discounts on Scrabble tournaments.

If you are happy to receive your magazine by e-mail and wish to renew for two years, membership is just £20 for 2013 and 2014, or £10 if you are under 18 at the time of joining/renewing!
