Founded with a vision to elevate Scrabble from a casual pastime to a recognized competitive sport, we organize tournaments, recognize champions, and prepare our finest players for international competitions including the prestigious World English Scrabble Players Championship (WESPAC) – the World Scrabble Championship organized by WESPA (World English-Language Scrabble Players Association).

Our mission extends beyond competition – we foster communities, build vocabulary skills, and create opportunities for players of all skill levels to engage with the beautiful complexity of language through Scrabble.
