How do you justify raising everyone’s fees to pay for the elite few who can attend the National SCRABBLE Championship?
We don’t, because it’s not true. Chris Cree signed the six-figure contracts necessary for a Players Championship held in Dayton in August 2009, long before we ever heard of NASPA. Hasbro kindly allowed us to rename the event the National SCRABBLE Championship, but the budget remained unchanged and is similar to that of the 2007 PC.
