2007 WSC qualifiers

2007 World Scrabble Championship (WSC 2007) took place in Mumbai, India, on 9-12 November. Three Swedish tournaments yielded qualification points for the WSC. Sweden was represented by Greger Nässén.

The participants of the tournaments received WSC qualifying points according to their standings. The last placed player got 1 point, the last but one 2 points and so on. The three best participants also got bonus qualifying points: the best one 8, the second best 4, and the third best 2 points. These bonus points were doubled, however, in the Swedish Swedish Championship in English Scrabble.

Gunnar Andersson came first in the qualification process, Henrik Holmström took second place and Greger Nässén was third in line. Since Gunnar, Henrik and Marja Takala declined to take part, Sweden was represented in 2007 WSC by Greger Nässén with Johan Rönnblom as alternate.
