Personally, I would put TARTANES using the A on the board for a 4-timer ;)

John has sons? ;P

Awaiting results

All teachers are to remind Team Captains that the same players who have played for the team in the preliminary rounds will be the ones representing the same team in the Grand Finals. There shall be no replacement of any other player(s) should any of them not able to play on that day. Where the minimum of 3 players is represented per team, it is thus implied that there will be a walkover for the opposing team for the 2 absent players who had failed to turn up.

Bishan Scrabble Challenge 2007

Despite a few hiccups early morning, our 5 St Hilda's scrabble teams are raring to go. All 5 teams are out to bring honours for our school.

After 4 gruelling games (and many bingos!), the results are finally out.

St Hilda's Team 4 has achieved 3rd position in the Bowl Category (three cheers!).

And...

St Hilda's Team 1 has achieved 1st position in the Cup Category (double three cheers!), the top-most position in the whole tournament!

Of course, winning is not everything. More importantly, all of us certainly enjoyed ourselves just by meeting up with our friends, made new ones from other schools and to share our passion and love for Scrabble!

Snapshots of the whole tournament coming up! Stay tuned!
