This past weekend, we reprised our annual Memorial Day tournament with 2.5 days of Scrabble in Seattle. Twelve players convened in our home for a sunny weekend filled with merriment both on and off the board.
We're looking forward to hosting an event at our home in Seattle over the holiday weekend. We're expecting 12 players, each of whom will duke it out over Saturday, Sunday, and half of Monday.
