World Scrabble Championships
The World Scrabble Championships have run since 1991. The championships see players from across the globe come together and compete to be crowned the World Scrabble Champion.
Mindsports took on sponsoring and organising, with Mattel, the World Scrabble Championships in 2013 after the successful Scrabble Tournament held in Prague during 2012.
On May 17, 2013, Mattel announced 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 2016, the tournament was branded as the MSI World Championships 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 World Scrabble Championships were held in Nottingham, UK during August 2017 along with the first Junior World Scrabble Championships.
