The 2025 World Youth Scrabble Championship will be held in Malaysia from 30 August to 1 September 2025. See Malaysian website
Australia is entitled to send 6 young players who get free entry. However all suitable players are welcome, provided they pay an entry fee.
Candidates are encouraged to declare their intention to go, so that they may make travel plans, and receive coaching. Karen Richards from Queensland has been the major driving force of Youth Scrabble since last century. She has been appointed as the Youth Coach and will be giving coaching sessions, especially just before the National Scrabble Championship in Adelaide at Easter. Whether they intend playing in Malaysia or not, young players will benefit from this.

The secondary criterion is number of rated games within the qualification period. If two players have the same peak rating, the one with the greater number of games in the qualification period is ranked higher.
