Some things one might keep in mind: WWF was invented by 2 brothers who lived in McKinney, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) who had been laid off by Microsoft. Their company (Newtoy, Inc.), which had first developed Chess With Friends, was purchased in July, 2010 by Zynga for $53.3mm. You can Google anything else you want to know. Why have NASPA and WESPA elite Scrabble tournament players been given this opportunity of free entry and a travel stipend to a large money event held by a company that sells a Scrabble-knockoff product? Because they *are* NASPA and WESPA elite Scrabble tournament players! One should not underestimate the value (at least in this case and *who knows* what else may be possible as a result of this) of being a part of officially licensed tournament Scrabble.
