World Scrabble Championship

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_English-Language_Scrabble_Players%27_Association they say "Following the establishment of Mind Sports International, the title 'World Scrabble Championship' was claimed by that entity for official world titles (sanctioned by Mattel under licence). WESPA has undertaken to host biennial world events from 2015 onwards using the old WSC format, with teams qualifying from national organisations."

Also one of the world's best players calls it a world championship here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47ynBJFz0MI&ab_channel=WillAnderson

I also cannot believe there hasn't been one since 2019. Having one every two years makes sense, like the old days, and there has been a WESPA champs every 2 years since 2015. By now in 2023 it should be official ;)

I would appreciate if you reinstate my one hour of hard work please. Sandman1142 (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
