Mad rush for honours as GASP stages Scrabble Scramble competition

Jan 22, 2013 Sports

As Muslims prepare to celebrate Youman Nabi on Thursday January 24 next, the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) will open their yearly itinerary with a senior open tournament dubbed, ‘Scrabble Scramble’ at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas lands, on that holiday.
Indeed, one could expect stiff competition, as has always been the case. It seems also, that the ploys of the executive to identify and reward the best player outside of the top ten rankings, has paid off with many of these players now posing a threat to the dominance of the seasoned and established players.
As such, players the likes of Moen Gafoor, Leon Belony, Abigail McDonald and Fred Collins among others will have to be wary of Grace Hercules, Maurice Munroe and Wayne Cave among others who have benefited immensely from the aforementioned ploy.
Whereas during the past year players have been competing for trophies and other lucrative prizes, the winner of this competition walks away with a cash prize that could amount to thousands of dollars. GASP will match the total entrance fee and the three top finishers will share the loot. Additionally, the best competitor outside the top 10 will receive a special prize.
The entrance fee is $700 but executives will accord a bonus to those players arriving before the registration period gets underway at 09:45hrs. Those players will enjoy a $200 discount while late comers will also start at a disadvantage as their clocks will be started in their absence.
