Scrabble players will engage in fierce competition when the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) stages the GASP Open Championship at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas Lands this Sunday, April 28.
Once again Abigail McDonald will be keen to retain her form and cart off the spoils with the likes of Moen Gafoor, James Krakowsky and Leon Belony among others looking to provide stern challenges. Wayne Cave has also shown remarkable improvement and has clinched the prize for the best player outside of the top ten rankings. In the last championship he had won that prize and also ascended the podium after placing 3rd overall. Cave will be out to replicate that feat even as he eyes the overall championship.
The competition commences at the usual 10:00hrs with registration starting at 09:45hrs. Players are reminded that all who arrive on or before the completion of the registration period will receive a $200 registration discount thus paying $500; those arriving afterwards pay $700. The competition will be sponsored by the association and promises attractive prizes for the top three finishers.
