The Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) will continue to provide a platform for the lowly graded players to improve their lot when its Executive host the Intermediate Scrabble competition at the Malteenos Sports Club Thomaslands this Sunday, April 4.
This tournament will allow those players with a rating above 1750 to improve their standing and subsequently break into the top ten rankings.
Several players have shown vast improvements recently and no doubt would be starting the tournament as firm favourites. These include Maurice Munru, Delon Moffat and Prudence Lewis among others.
A point to note too is that Grace Hercules has been winning the special prize put up at senior competitions for players below the top ten category. Munru was the last player to cart off the prize.
Sunday’s tournament would define those players that are truly worthy of matching wits with their senior counterparts.
The players debarred from participating in this competition are national champion, Abigail McDonald, Moen Gafoor, James Krakowsky, Ewart Adams, Leon Belony, William Woolford, Ulric Harris, Frederick Collins and Floyd Carmichael.
Registration period starts at 09:45hrs and concludes at 10:00hrs when the tournament gets underway.
Players arriving late will be placed at a disadvantage as their clocks will be activated in their absence. The top three finishers would receive beautiful trophies. The tournament is sponsored by Guy America Purified Drinking Water.
