KL Scrabble Marathon 2008 – Information Package

Background

A brand new tournament, Kuala Lumpur Scrabble Marathon 2008 will be making its debut in April. The 1-day tournament offered RM 1,000 cash prize for the champion, and is expected to attract the region’s finest Scrabble experts. For the first time in Malaysian Scrabble history, we’re going to have 15 games within just one day, a whopping number considering the fact that a typical Scrabble tournament will only have 8-9 games a day. KL Scrabble Marathon is able to cramp a high number of games since the time limit will be set to only 20 minutes per player, instead of the normal 25 minutes time limit.

The new tournament will be setting a new record with the highest number of competitive Scrabble games in 1-day, a feat which we hope will be recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records. There is no doubt that it will be offering the ultimate challenge of speed & fitness to all Scrabble experts out there.
