2013 World Youth Scrabble Championship, Dubai

Venue: Etisalat Academy, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Dates: December 12-14, 2013

Youth Division:
No. of Players: 136
Dictionary: CSW12
Challenge Rule: Free Challenge
FormatAfter the first random draw, players will be matched with someone whose performance is closest to theirs (Swiss draw). There will be a lag in most draws, meaning there is no waiting time between games. For the last few games, there will be no lags - hence it will take longer to finalise those draws. There will be resets (with repeats) after games 10 and 17. It is possible that you could play one opponent 3 times. (Gibsonising is not required, as there is no final playoff.)
Winner: Moiz Ullah Baig
Top Prize: AED 3,750

Side Tourney Event:
No. of Players: 31
Dictionary: CSW12
Challenge Rule: 5 points penalty per word challenged
Format: Open format, with multiple resets, so that you may play the same opponent 3 or 4 times. This will make it suitable for all levels of player, as it effectively handicaps the top players. It will be WESPA rated
Winner: Alastair Richards
Top Prize: _______
