75 players attended the annual Wyong Scrabble Tournament on Sunday, March 16th. With 1 no-show in Advanced, top ranked players in Intermediate and Recreational advanced to the next division.
It was a clean sweep for John Barker (Master), Jan Pincott (Advanced) and Fay Wassell (Recreational) with 7 games each, made even more exceptional in that Fay Wassell was playing in her first tournament. We expect to see more of Fay on the scrabble tournament scene.
High word, requited (108) was played by Alison Pollard and High game went to Jean Noonan with 513.
Maureen Dobb and Mike Oxby, both Central Coast players, increased their ratings by 102 and 103 respectively.
Special thanks to Fred Reynolds for his role as Tournament Director. He always keeps everything under control with his usual light hearted approach.
