NSW JANBoree - 8th January 2005


87 players attended the first tournament for 2005 - the fourth annual Scrabble NSW JANboree, organized by resident lecturer Dr Wilma Vialle at the Wollongong University.

This is the only NSW tournament where players are divided into small groups and play a Round Robin, in this case of nine games. Entry fee was minimal, lunch was a sausage sizzle on a balcony overlooking the University grounds, and prizes were only awarded to the winners of the nine sections, plus high game and high word.

Five players attended from Queensland, and nine of our close allies from the ACT. It was the latter group that proved most successful, snaring wins in three of the nine sections.

Note that the ratings published below are subject to alteration for players in the top few sections, and are therefore only provisional.
