ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Aug, 2019 ) :Despite ardent efforts, Pakistan Scrabble Association's (PSA) has claimed sending various reminders to the Pakistan sports Board (PSB) for an affiliation, but got no heed on the matter.
"Our performance at the international level has been remarkable. We meet the affiliation criteria set by the board. We have submitted all necessary documents with the board for the purpose. But so far we see no progress from on the matter," PSA Director Youth Program Tariq Pervez claimed.
Talking to APP, PSA Director Youth Program Tariq Pervez said he had been contacting PSB officials' repeatedly, sending reminder after reminder seeking for an affiliation, but they had been using delaying tactics for some vested interests. "I won't give up on the matter and PSB must consider over the years performance of the association," he said.

Highlighting more achievements of the team, Tariq said World Youth Srabble Championship 2013's tiltle was also on its credit roll. "Moiz Baig as an individual clinched the World Youth Champion and Javeria Mirza was the Runner up in the same event.
