CNY Scrabble Challenge 2008_10.01.09

Last weekend we were back in Berjaya Times Square to take part in the CNY Scrabble Challenge which was also the 1st Qualifier for the World Scrabble Championship. It was a two days event on 1oth and 11th January organized by MSA.
Participants of CNYSC
There were 20 participants for the Masters Category which included Ramaraj, playing 15 rounds. After 12 rounds, Rama as in second place but he lost his last three matches to end up eighth. His friend, Khoo Beng Way managed to win the tourney with 11 points edging second placed Vannitha with a better spread.

I took part in the Intermediate Division which was also played in 15 rounds. There were twenty players taking part in this division. Just as my previous outing in Malacca Open, I ended up second last with five points after winning my last three games to avoid the last place! The Intermediate division was won by Looi Yih Feng with 11 points followed by Mohd. Khairi Zulkarnian (10 points) and Tan Kar Hee (10 points).
