Ottawa Scrabble Club's Hybrid Tournament

Sunday, Feb 4, 2024 | 1 minute read | Updated at Sunday, Feb 4, 2024

On Feb 3, OSC held our second hybrid house tournament and potluck at clubmate Gerda’s house. It was another great time, slightly smaller turnout, with 8 NWL players (including Brian, playing from home on woogles – thanks so much to Arthur for monitoring remotely!) and 6 CSW players – with yours truly, Director Heidi Robertson, racing to the bottom of the pack, as I always do. 😏

For the first time, I tried out the woogles IRL tournament management software, which worked out great, with player scorecards that included personalized QR codes for seamless and ultra efficient electronic score entry.

I was also fortunate enough to have some incredibly wonderful and generous streamers donate their time to stream on my behalf – the incomparable Will Anderson, who guest-hosted on my channel (https://www.twitch.tv/heroinetobirds ), and Emma, who streamed on her own channel - https://www.twitch.tv/gurchy . Thank you so much for turning my mediocre Scrabble playing into such entertaining content for the viewers! 🙂

We sadly didn’t get many action pics this time .. But here are a few artifacts anyway … and more notes in the Prize Table.

Thanks again to all involved – We’ll do it all again next month! 🙂

New theoretical highest play discovered! Are our bots rigged?
