Sierra Leone National Scrabble Association has set to stage National Championship for Scrabblers ahead of the international tournaments.
Foday Conteh the organizing Secretary of the Association said the Championship is for all Scrabblers across the Country and to prepare them ahead for the competitions in the coming months. He added that the reason for the Championship is to test the players and know their level of strength as they have a huge task in their hands that is an area of improving their lives towards Scrabble.
He affirmed that the Championship is going to be held at Victoria Amusement Park the Central part of Freetown where all Scrabblers across the country will assemble to compete with each other to get a champion in the Championship. Nothing that preparation has been on track from the Association to get the Championship on the way and assured me they are going to put all modalities in place to get the event on way.
He furthered that they are going to kick off the School projects just after the National Championship because they believe is they want to make sure that sport is taken to School to tap into New Talent. Adding that the Championship is incumbent on all Scrabblers to be part of the tournament for them to get a chance to represent the country and based on the stats from the Championship they will use select players that will be going out on international Tournaments.
