The year ahead promises to be an exciting one for Scrabble in Victoria. We will be adding more featues to what we provide - and you can learn more about it here.
Thank you to all players who attended our event today; the first after the recently completed Nationals!.
With adjusting formats, we were able to cater for player needs with a number of people able to play for part of the event. At the conclusion, it took 5 wins to emerge victorious in each Division. Chris was able to do this relatively comfortably in A but Rob's last game victory against John was not enough as he was 6 spread points adrift at the end. Congratulations to all place-getters and other prize winners.
After an amazing three days in the beautiful city of Perth, David Eldar secured his third National title, defeating Russell Honeybun in Game 24. Last year's Champion, Naween Fernando, came second. In the Plate, Khwanjai Thammaping was the best performing Victorian, finishing 10th.
Thank you to everyone for attending and supporting the event!
