PSA: National Scrabble Championship 2005
As has been mentioned before, two Zoo Station bloggers are avid Scrabble players. Unfortunately we have both been too busy to get ourselves to Reno, NV where the 5-day-long National Scrabble Championship is now underway. But we have been following the adventures of our many Scrabble-playing friends via the excellent internet coverage of the event, with regularly updated results, photos and commentary.
Best of all, we can even follow some of the live action by watching aball-by-ball rack-by-rack webcast of the game at the top table. You, dear reader, are strongly encouraged to click on that last link (or this next one) and match wits with some of the best Scrabble players in the world.
UPDATE: Stefan Fatsis, the author of the remarkable book Word Freak and staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal is blogging the event and his own performance in it. It's an excellent read.
