Three weeks ago, we first announced the World Blitz Scrabble Championship to the public. Now, 80 signups and a bunch of directorial legwork later, we're ready to go! The roster of players is set, and tonight, we'll be announcing the groups for pool play in a live broadcast.

As of this writing, we've got a total of 63 people in the field. There's still about a week until registration closes, as we'll be accepting new sign-ups until Monday, Jan. 25 at midnight GMT.

Last week, we announced the start of CoCo virtual club sessions, which give Collins players the chance to meet up on Woogles twice a week and play casual games. Today, we unveil our second big offering of 2021. Introducing: the World Blitz Scrabble Championship!
