Back to Toronto Scrabble Club Tournaments
The first annual Toronto Scrabble Players Tournament was directed by Mike Wise on September 6th, 1980, on the 4th floor of what was then the downtown Simpsons (department store). 44 players played five rounds of Scrabble beginning at 9:30 A.M., ranked by wins and cumulative spread (with per-game spread capped at ±200 points) Here are the full results, copied in July 2004 by John Chew from copies of contestant scorecards in the Mike Wise Archives. Ratings given are completely arbitrary: currently rated players are listed with their July 2004 ratings, while currently unrated players are listed as unrated.
