On Sunday, August 10, Karen Richards, chair of the WESPA Youth Committee, will host an informational session about competing in World Youth events. Youth players and their families/mentors are invited to bring their lunch to the boardroom, located on the Marquee level of the Convention Center, during the lunch break. The session will begin at 1:15 p.m., and topics will include:

  • Introducing young players and their mentors to the excitement, challenge, and benefits of competing on a world stage, as we approach the 9th World Youth Scrabble Championship (Sri Lanka, August 2014) and the MSI Youth Championship (London, November)
  • How to cope with playing the Collins lexicon
  • Why it looks good on your CV to have represented your country at an international "mind sports" event

Come learn more about the opportunities to travel while representing your country and playing our favorite word game with youths from around the world.
