This is no ordinary Scrabble tournament! We’re modifying conventional rules, encouraging both individual and team participation. For a small donation to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, players will be able to buy expert advice or cheat sheets. We’re not looking for great SCRABBLE players; we’re looking for great people to play SCRABBLE! Prizes will be randomly awarded throughout the afternoon. TOP prizes of the day will go to the top individual fundraiser, the top team fundraiser (3 or 4 players) and the top team score (3 or 4 players).
Each player must register and collect pledges and funds in advance (pledges of $20 or more are tax-deductible).
