[edit] Prize fund

Is the prize listed merely the first prize in the top division, or is it the entire prize pool? I think the size of the entire prize fund should be listed, as it gives a better sense of the financial backing of the tournament. If all the money is concentrated in first place it indicates a less mature sport than if it is spread around between many winners. --Fritzlein 22:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

We don't have a source that lists the size of the entire prize fund; especially considering that you have 6 divisions to spread things out in. Andy Saunders 02:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
The NSA web site gives the total for 1978 as $8400. For more recent years, the complete breakdown is given in the event coverage. For intermediate years, the prize fund can be found in the NSA newsletter. Poslfit 06:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
All the prize pools have been added now. HumphreyW (talk) 19:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Televised Coverage

Perhaps someone can add an account of the history of ESPN's television coverage of the USSO, and of their 2007 decision to air the National School Scrabble Championship instead. [[User:71.111.210.179] 21:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)David Klionsky

[edit] Disambiguation

The page "National Scrabble Championship" currently forwards to this page. It should instead be a disambiguation page, referring browsers to any of the several different NSCs that takes place around the world. Poslfit 09:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

The article states "(not "the Director of Parks and Recreation" (italics added), as mentioned in TOTAL SCRABBLE: The (Un)Official Scrabble Record Book, 2005 Update, otherwise very accurately compiled by Keith W. Smith)." Is discrediting an outside source relevant enough to include in this article? I am removing it. Dan (talk) 07:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name Change

This article was originally National Scrabble Championship but was moved when the name was changed to US Scrabble Open. The "Open" name has been dropped and it is the NSC again [1]. So it seems this page should be moved back. Gr8white (talk) 03:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I went ahead and moved it, can't imagine anyone objecting. Gr8white (talk) 04:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
