Frequently Asked Questions
Start here for quick answers about membership, events, and the global WESPA Scrabble community.
How is WESPA different from national Scrabble associations?
WESPA is the global governing body for competitive Scrabble in English. While national associations manage and promote Scrabble within their own countries, WESPA connects those associations, standardizes rules, maintains international player ratings, and organizes world-level events.
What are the benefits of being a WESPA member?
Membership connects you to a worldwide Scrabble community, gives you access to official WESPA ratings, opens the door to international tournaments, and provides resources and support for players and organizers alike.
Can I play in a WESPA tournament if I'm not ranked yet?
Yes! New players are welcome. Your performance in your first rated event will earn you an initial WESPA rating.
How often are WESPA ratings updated?
Ratings are updated shortly after each rated tournament, ensuring players always see their most current standings.
Are there country rankings in WESPA?
Yes. WESPA tracks and publishes both individual player rankings and country rankings based on the performance of top players.
