Appreciation

I know I'm a bit late with this, but I want to pass along my thanks to everyone who made our second Bluegrass Scrabble Fall Classic the resounding success that it was.  Every bit of feedback that I got over the entire weekend was positive, and I feel like we're laying the groundwork for turning this into one of the premier regular Scrabble events in the region.

Will Scott, in addition to his recruitment efforts and coordination with the Knoxville and Asheville clubs on the Triple Crown series, did a fantastic job directing the Early and Late Bird events, as well as assisting and keeping things running smoothly in the Main Event.  Cheryl Coovert was indispensable in helping with data entry, results posting, and other tasks, especially IT crisis management as we dealt with printer issues for much of the weekend.  Plus she's done a great job year-round with managing the club's website and blog.  Betty and Victoria did a terrific job coordinating the food/refreshments.  We had a very nice spread over the entire event...thanks to everyone who contributed!

Finally, I really want to give it up for Matthew Ridout.  Not just for what he and Wendy have done for the tournament both years (opening up their home and hosting/entertaining out-of-towners), but especially for all that he does for the club, week-in, week-out, compiling and managing the stats.  Beyond that, in spite of his considerable skill as a player, he goes out of his way to make newcomers feel welcome and break down barriers that could otherwise scare novices away from the way we play the game.

Beyond the folks I mentioned, I really appreciate the positive vibe that everyone brings to our club, and hope that we continue to grow and prosper, both individually and collectively in the coming year.  Happy tiling!

Results Sunday, Nov. 29

A nice turnout: eight players on a cool, wet day that was perfect for Scrabble. It also, apparently, was perfect for phonies: five phony bingoes stayed on the boards.

Thank you so much and congratulations to Steve and Will on the tremendous weekend events of tournament Scrabble we just had.  I don't know what's harder - doing it so well or making it -look- so effortless (it's not)!

The season end of stats are listed a couple posts below, but I wanted to especially congratulate a few people.

Steve - highest club rating, most improved bingos per game average
             (Thanks, Steve, just what we needed, you playing all your letters -more- often on us :) )
Janny - most improved!  her club rating went up 97 points
Jan - biggest increase in scoring average, 18 points
Fred - newcomer of the year - highest club rating of all new players, plus he came out for his first rated tournament!

FINAL 2015-16 club standings, stats and player ratings

The annual Lexington tournament is serving as well as any date could for the end of a "season" of club Scrabble, so here are the "year's" final results.

I have been honored and privileged to be allowed to overload our club Website with my nerdy statkeeping for a year :)  Thank you to everyone who has helped with the weekly game results that help make this part possible.
