We have recently received updates from the Japan Scrabble Players Association that the captioned tournament is scheduled to take place from 27 to 28 May 2023 (Saturday and Sunday) in Kobe, Japan. Hong Kong will continue to have five quotas.

The Association hereby announce that the expression for interest period to the captioned tournament will now be reopened until 28 February 2023 (at 23:59 Hong Kong Time). Players interested in representing Hong Kong (according to the date and venue stated above) should reply to our email and express their interest. Players who have expressed interest to our previous invitation are required to re-confirm their interest as the dates have changed. Players who do not reply to our email by the aforementioned date will be considered as no longer interested in the event.

If there are more than 5 players expressing interest to the Championship, we will organise a Qualifier to select the players to represent HK. The Qualifier will take place on a Sunday in March, and is tentatively scheduled on 5 March 2023 (Sunday). Otherwise, all interested players will be allowed to represent HK in the event.

Players are reminded not to make flights and accommodation arrangements until the entrants are confirmed.
