Scrabble players are scheduled to be in action once again when the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) stages an open tournament this Sunday at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas Lands.
The organisers are mulling a 2 tiered competition but according to Public Relations Officer, Moen Gafoor, this decision is dependent on the number of players registering for the tournament.
As such, players are asked to indicate very early whether they will be competing. The tournament commences at 10:00hrs but the registration period gets underway at 09:45hrs. Participants are required to contribute $500.00 at time of registration which represents a reduction of $200.
Those arriving late will have to pay the entire $700 registration fee. The top three players will win trophies while there will be a special prize for the best player outside of the top ten rankings. Persons with boards and clocks are also urged to have them available at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start.
