It's time for Africa. The next world scrabble championship (WSC) will be held in Nairobi, Kenya from 6-12 November 2017. Here is the announcement from WESPA:
"WESPA is pleased to announce that Kenya will host the 2017 WESPA Championships (WESPAC).
All three bids (Kenya, Canada and Trinidad & Tobago) were of a high quality and, after an exhaustive process that considered all issues, the bid team from Kenya was awarded the hosting rights.
WESPAC will be held in Nairobi from 6-12 November 2017 with the Kenyan Organizing Committee making their own announcements later. A Last Chance Qualifier will be available, as well as tournaments run alongside the Main Event.
A premier international tournament, like WESPAC, run in Africa for the first time is deserved recognition for the quality and hospitality of African Scrabble and we are looking forward to a successful event in November 2017".
