Why does this atlas treat Scrabble champions as athletes?

Scrabble champions and professional competitors are carried as athlete entities, matching this atlas's treatment of mind sports generally.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed in Scrabble, the word-formation tile game, including Scrabble champions and professional competitors. Players of other tile or board games are grouped under their own categories, since this atlas treats each mind sport's top competitors as athlete entities in their own right.
