The '''Association of British Scrabble Players''' is an association that regulates [[Scrabble]] in the United Kingdom. While not directly related to [[Countdown]], the producers of the first [[Series 1|Series]] went to Scrabble leagues to find players that were already adept at finding words from letters. Thusly, the first ever Countdown champion was an ABSP player, [[Joyce Cansfield]]. Since then the ABSP has continued to supply great players, most recently [[Series 57]] [[Series|champion]] who is currently ranked in the top 20 out of about 1000 rated players.
