Sri Lanka’s pioneering Scrabble® club, the Sri Lanka Scrabble® League will be conducting the Age Group Scrabble® Championship on 01st June 2024 and the Open Scrabble® Championship on 08th and 09th June 2024.
These are acclaimed as two of the most popular and heavily patronised tournaments in the country which allow any Sri Lankan of any standing in Scrabble® to compete against fellow like minded word enthusiasts.
The Age Group Scrabble® Championship will be run under two categories for those Under 13 years of age and those who are Under 18 years of age. With the former playing 06 rounds and the latter playing 07 rounds from 08:00am at Sasakawa Hall, Colombo. The entry fee for the tournament will be LKR 1,500. Participants stand a chance to walk away with certificates, trophies and gifts and a wealth of experience from playing against those from all corners of the country.
The Open Scrabble® Championship will be a lot more gruelling with competitors facing 18 rounds over two consecutive days at the Sasakawa Hall, Colombo. Winners will walk away with cash prizes in addition to trophies and certificates and the organisers expect the competition to be thrilling.
Those keen to try their hand at this well loved board game may register by visiting the site of the Sri Lanka Scrabble®® League https://www.srilankascrabbleleague.lk/. All registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
The tournaments are generously supported by GDC Consulting, Ocean Network Express, Akbar Tea and MAS Holdings and other well wishers.
