At last weekend's 6th Can-Am SCRABBLE Challenge Tourney in Toronto, 7 top
players from the US challenged 7 top players from Canada. John O. (3rd seed)
and Rod (6th seed) were 2 of the 7 on the US team. Each player played someone
from the other team twice for a 14-game event. The US won, retaining the
trophy, with a 50.5-47.5 record. John finished in 2nd place; Rod finished
in 4th place; both went 9-5. Robin Pollock Daniel placed first, with a 10-4
record; Adam Logan, top seeded from Canada, placed 3rd, with a 9-5 record.
In last week's news it was announced that Tim L. lost with a 416 to Judy C.'s
416 - that game was indeed a high-scoring tie and not a loss.
Dee Jackson, a long-time club and tourney player most recently living in
Southern FL, passed away on 25-Jun-08 after an 8-month valiant battle
against an aggressive cancer. Susi Tiekert is happy to pass along any
messages for Dee's family (mailto:suuuzz@pobox.com).
