Phase 3 Qualification
Edwin CHAN has expressed his interest in representing Hong Kong in Phase 2, and was reserved a place for the WESPA Championship.
It was decided by the Main Committee that expression of interest is open to all HKSPA members. Any interests received will be reviewed at the end of each month. Should only 1 interest is received, the expressor should be allowed to represent Hong Kong. Should more than 1 interest is received, official HKSPA Ratings (do not include provisional ones) should be used to determine who the spot goes to. A player with an official rating precedes one with a provisional rating only. All expressions of interests are only valid if they are received from members. Non-members need to become members before expressing their interests.
Expression of interest should be sent to chris.lau@hkscrabble.org AND info@hkscrabble.org.
Please contact Chris LAU Kwun Shing, the WESPA Liaison Officer, at chris.lau@hkscrabble.org if you have any questions.
