Tournaments

The Club has a rich calendar of events.

 

On the domestic front, the main event  is the Malta National Scrabble Championhip (MNSC), also known as the National League (NL).

 

Leagues are played over a period of three months. Participants have the option of playing once or twice a week. The official playing days for leagues are Monday and Thursday (p.m.). Leagues are played according to a round-robin format, where all play all.

 

Tournaments are played over a period of one to three days. The MISO is played over a weekend. MSC also organises One-Day Tournaments throughout the year. All tournaments are played according to a Swiss format of play, i.e. players are paired according to their performance.

 

Leagues are held at the Club premises. The Club’s current premises are at the headquarters of the Malta Playing Fields Association, which are centrally located within the King George V Recreational Gardens in Floriana. Tournaments are held away from the Club’s premises.

 

In all leagues and tournaments, the points penalty challenge rule is applied, i.e. a -5 point penalty is inflicted for every correct word challenged on the player who makes the challenge. The Collins Scrabble Words is the Club’s official word reference source. 

 

On the international front, the Club organises annually the Malta International Scrabble Open (MISO), which attracts dozens of foreign players. 

 

Through the Club, Malta has been represented in the biennial World Scrabble Championship (WSC) since 1991. The best performing players in the Malta National Scrabble Championship previous to the WSC get the chance and the financial support to represent their country in this most prestigious of international competitive Scrabble events.
