Here are the results of the 13-round tourney held in Victoria, BC, Canada last weekend.

Perhaps Eileen Gruhn will give us one of her entertaining reports on this event. Here are a couple of items of note:

Our youngest player was 12 - the oldest 92!

One contestant - a seasoned tourney player- challenged his own word!!! He did this 2 turns after he had played the word, too. The outcome? He lost the challenge!!!D'oh.

Linda Shayne, who lives on a small San Juan Island, had never played in a club before. Well, she finished first in her division with 11-2 !

Another player, Michael Orford of Seattle, won his division (12-1) in only his 2nd tournament - watch out for him!
