THE DECATHON


The Decathon is one of the most popular events on the Scrabble Victoria calendar and occurs between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

The event started as The Scrabble Sgramble in 1995, and was run over 18 games in 2 days until 1997 before it became the Decathon - a 10 game tournament.

As with most events in Victoria, COVID restrictions prevented it from running in 2020: 2021 saw a revised version of this event at the same time of year but not played over 10 games.

In 2022, the Decathon returned to its 10 game format and was approved for WESPA rating for the first time.

The date for the next Decathon is December 2024, and will be held at Balwyn Community Centre. WESPA rating to be confirmed.

Players wanting to enter the event can email Nick Ivanovski via this link.
