The Nigeria Scrabble Federation (NSF) at the weekend ended the third stanza of the World English Scrabble Players Association Championship qualifiers in Benin with a plea for assistance in its bid to raise a formidable squad for the global event
The qualifiers, which had the 24 top scrabble players from across the country in attendance, gave the players the opportunity to earn points that would qualify them for the world championship slated for Goa, India later this year.
According to the NSF, the qualifiers have so far brought out the best in the players and also given the board more insight on their level of commitment to Nigeria’s ambition at the championship.
National scrabble coach, Prince Anthony Ikolo said that the competition for places in the world championship has been tight, because all the best scrabble players in Nigeria are jostling for places in the World Championship.
