2008 World Players Championship
American Scrabble player Chris Cree has announced that he is organising a 2008
World Players Championship to be held November 14-16 in Dallas, Texas, USA. The
tournament will be played to Collins Scrabble Words
Chris writes, “As many of you know, Hasbro has decided against sponsoring a World
Championship and Mattel has been graciously doing so on a biannual basis. Many
wish to have an annual major event. This WPC is to serve as a world class event to give
our game’s globe trotters a chance to come back to North America, to induce our top
North American players back into the world scene and to afford to anyone who has
wished to play in, but in prior years could not qualify for a major international event
the opportunity to compete with the very best in the world“.
The particulars have yet to be finally determined, but the following decisions/
parameters have been made/set:
1.) Thursday evening - November 13, 2008 - Reception/Dinner/Meet The Players.
2.) Friday through Sunday - 21-24 games.
3.) Entry Fee - $250 (£126) including opening dinner. This will afford the opportunity
to have a top prize of $10,000 (£5046) and a generous prize pool predicated upon 100
entrants.
4.) Qualifications - The event is OPEN to anyone who has played in a sanctioned event
in their home country and is a member of their national game association.
5.) Hotel - The Crowne Plaza Suites Dallas Park Central has newly remodeled suites
and will offer players the incredible rate of $89.00 (£45) per night.
6.) 2007 WSC rules in effect.
Interest has already been shown by Current World Champion, Nigel Richards; former
World Champions, Brian Cappelletto, Joel Wapnick, David Boys and Mark Nyman plus
other representatives from Nigeria, Thailand, England, Australia and New Zealand.
A website will be created at the end of May with finalized details, registration forms
and registration deadline. Email ccree@earthlink.net for latest details.
