ABSP Online Scrabble league
Do you enjoy playing friendly Facebook Scrabble games against other members?
Would you prefer to pit your wits in a more structured competition?
Well now you can.... ABSP Online is a new league exclusively for ABSP members.
The league will run fortnightly on a Tuesday, starting on Tuesday July 11th. Games will be played on the Facebook Scrabble app and you'll have two weeks to complete all your games.
Initial divisions will be based on ABSP rating and thereafter by promotions and demotions at the end of each round. This is initially a trial and as things progress, we may add other types of competition.
(Note – online games are, of course, not ABSP rated!)
To find out more and register to play, join the facebook group (you will need a Facebook account and the EA facebook scrabble game).https://www.facebook.com/groups/absponline/
You will also need to be registered on myscrabbleapp.com
Registration is free for ABSP members - we will add you when you join the facebook group.
If not currently a member, you can join the ABSP at http://www.absp.org.uk/absp/joinus.shtml
Give it a try, let's see how many ABSP Scrabblers we can fit into a virtual room.
Spread the word!

Saturday morning, with cash prizes and trophies for the top finishing male and female player.

MSI World Scrabble Championships 2017
Due to political unrest in Qatar, this will now be taking place in Nottingham prior to the BMSC. Although the final 8 semi- & quarter-finals, and the grand finale overlap with the first two days of the BMSC it is hoped that many overseas players will still wish to play at the BMSC as well.
