‘Scrabble In The Jungle’ championship begins in Asaba

By DAILYSPORTS NIGERIA on August 27, 2022

The organisers of the maiden ‘Scrabble In the Jungle’ championship, has unveiled the official customised result slips for the tournament, which holds in Asaba, Delta State, this weekend.

The customised result slips are the documents, where the final outcome of each round of game is recorded for easy computing and scoring.

The organisers stated that ‘Scrabble in the Jungle’ will be one of the few tournaments to have its own customised slips in recent times.

President of the Scrabble Las Vegas, Musa Olasupo, who is the convener of the event said that the results slip is another signature of the high standards being raised at this inaugural edition of the tourney.

According to him ‘Scrabble in the Jungle’ series is another level of organised scrabble tournament, where top rated players by the Nigeria Scrabble Federation, would be kept in a boot-camp arrangement for three action-filled days without having access to the outside world.

Olasupo stated that this year’s edition will see 2015 World Champion, Wellington Jighere, who appeared to be fans favourite, hunt for points and scores on the board with the aim of winning the top prize.

Other athletes to watch out for according to him, are former African Champion, Nsikak Etim, who won the South-south championship and most recently, the Governor Douye Diri National Scrabble Championship as well as former champion on the continent, Dennis Ikekeregor.

He added that Scrabble hitman, Enoch Nwali, who rose to World No 4 in Goa, India, would be aiming to make his presence count at the end of the three-day fiesta.

Other notable names are Emmanuel Umujose, current West African scrabble champion, Eta Karo, Oshevire Avwenagha, Prince Omosefe and Ryan Jacob.
