Lagos Scrabble Classics offers millions to expected players and winners.
A massive hunt for prizes totaling about N4.5m will begin this Saturday as 150 players engage one another in a chase at the 2024 Lekki Scrabble Classics.
Jammers including top board strategies from Ghana, Uganda as well as Nigerians with a mix of Diasporans in Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada are already in the Lekki Peninsula for the big chase at the two-day tournament.
African Champion Enoch Nwali who also holds the LSC title will have West Africa powerhouse Timilehin Doko, African Games side-event champion John Ayedun, African Games double gold-medallist Adebisi Adekansi, freshly crowned Amazon Queen Bukunmi Afolayan, and other elite players to contend with in Division A.
In the lower Division B, players from 0 to 1299 will have the opportunity to make hay at two different levels.
Vice President of Lekki Scrabble Club Charles Uzamere who was excited at the huge status the Classics has attained described the enthusiasm generated by the tournament as amazing.
"The enthusiasm for this year's Classics has been amazing! We have 150 players registered but I can tell you that the portal for registration almost crashed due to the huge numbers of players wanting to be in the game for this Classics. The expectations are very high with over 4 million naira in prize money which is a whooping sum which indeed is a record. A lot of players are looking forward to this both professionals and non-professionals and so, I expect that the young one will pull it off."
"We have celebrities who will be around for the tournament. Overall, the Lekki Scrabble Classics for this year will be the center of attraction this weekend."
License International, Front-page Couture, Midasfarms, MGi, Elcrest E&P, Ayodele Thomas Consulting, Julyet Peters, and AGPC gave their blessings to this edition while the Pan African Scrabble Association (PANASA) will provide the boards
150 players who got their tickets punched to be at the glorious gathering will play 18 rounds of games before the winners will emerge.
