Director Directory
Our directors and tournament organizers hail from all around the continent. This directory recognizes the many people who have contributed their time and talent to bring clubs and tournaments to life for the CoCo community. The people shown here include currently active directors of live and virtual tournaments, directors who organized tournaments pre-pandemic, CoCo Club online directors, and tournament organizers.
To get in touch with a director in your local Scrabble scene or hear about opportunities to play, contact us or feel free to directly contact any of the people listed here. If you’re interested in organizing or directing a CoCo tournament, you can learn more here.
