World Scrabble Championship

This article is about the tournament in English. For other uses, see World Scrabble Championships (disambiguation).

The World Scrabble Championship is the most prestigious title in competitive English-language Scrabble. It has been held every second year since 1991, and annually since 2013. The reigning World Scrabble Champion is Brett Smitheram, who won the title at Lille, France in 2016.

Sponsorship formerly alternated between Hasbro and Mattel, respectively the owners of the Scrabble trademark in North America and the rest of the world. However, Hasbro declined to sponsor WSC 2005, and instead Mattel has organised and/or sponsored all championships since 2005.

The number of players competing in the tournament has risen steadily over time, from 48 in the World Scrabble Championship 1991 to 108 in the World Scrabble Championship 2009. In 2011 it remained stable with 106 contestants. A set number of places is allocated to each competing country and it is then up to individual countries' national associations to determine which of their players will represent them. This is typically done by means of a national ratings system or qualifier tournaments or some combination of the two. A good performance by a national team according to specific criteria will earn further permanent places for that country.

The dictionary used is colloquially known as SOWPODS, which is the word authority used in the majority of English-language Scrabble-playing countries. It is commonly known as Collins Scrabble Words^[1]^[2] and was updated on 1 September 2015.

On May 17, 2013, Mattel announced^[3] that the event would be renamed the Scrabble Champions Tournament, and would be held as part of Mind Sports International's 2013 Prague Mind Sports Festival, to be held annually. MSI introduced a 'Last Chance Qualifier' tournament, giving players a last opportunity to qualify for the main event instead of having to be on their countries' teams; in 2013 this resulted in 5 extra players competing. In 2014 the SCT continued in London but it became an open event, inviting all players to compete.

In 2015, the World English-Language Scrabble Players Association (WESPA) organised their own traditional World Championships branded the WESPA Championship (or WESPAC). It was held in Perth, Australia which followed the invitational format of earlier World Scrabble Championships. It was an invitational event with 130 players qualifying to play.^[4] Wellington Jighere emerged as WESPAC Champion, becoming the first African to become World Champion.

In 2016, the tournament was branded as the MSI World Championships^[5] and was split into two divisions based on players' ability. MSI also hosted World Championships in other languages, including French, German, Spanish and Catalan, alongside the French Duplicate Championship.

The 2017 event will be organised by WESPA and will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, running from 6th - 12th November 2017.
