Fancy going to somewhere warm after the UK Open? Always wanted to go to India but didn't qualify for WESPAC?

If so, here's some news from Shankar Prasad of the KSSA that may be just what you're looking for:

Mu Sigma, in association with the Karnataka State Scrabble Association (KSSA), is proud to announce the 16th International Scrabble Tournament to be held at the Mu Sigma campus in Bangalore from January 9th-12th, 2020.

Now in its 16th year, the tournament, formerly sponsored by Capgemini, has a new headline sponsor, Mu Sigma. The tournament venue is Mu Sigma's campus at Whitefield, only around 3km away from the venue in previous years.

The top three divisions will play 34 games over the full four days of the tournament. A fourth division, for tournament newbies, will be playing 15 games over the 11th & 12th only. The tournament is WESPA rated.

Additionally, each player will receive a wooden rotating board like the one shown in the photograph as a return gift. Hence you may choose not to bring your boards. But please carry your tiles, timers, racks, etc. Also, you may want to carry a bag to take the board back with you.

More details, including the entry form and payment details, can be found on the tournament website at www.indianscrabble.com.
