National Scrabble Championship Final 2013

Watch Britain's two best Scrabblers battle it out in a bruising best-of-five games contest to see who claims the honours - and not inconsiderable prize of £2,500 - as National Scrabble Champion 2013. Scottish Allan Simmons, a 'Scrabble consultant' and the 2008 champ, takes on Northamptonshire teacher Paul Allan, the competition winner in 2007, after both saw off 57 rivals in the Cardiff-based semis. The nuances of their play will be described for the audience by the 2000 champion Brett Smitheram.
