The South African team for the 2001 World Scrabble Championships

in Las Vegas, USA on 13-17 December 2001 was chosen immediately

after the conclusion of the final game. 

 

While Lanre Oyenkunle still stops the ratings list, (1980) he is a Nigerian

citizen and thus ineligible at this stage.  The team therefore consists of Trevor

Hovelmeier (1898) and Steven Gruzd (1880) of Johannesburg.  Dylan Early (1861)

is the first reserve.
