GASP annual Emancipation Day tournament on this Thursday
When scrabble players convened for the National Open Championship, the first after the conclusion of the Nationals, some two weeks ago, in what was considered a very close contest, Leon Belony had chalked up 6 points and a positive spread of 376 to clinch the premiere prize while Moen Gafoor was relegated to the second place position after notching up 5 points and a positive spread of 806. Wayne Cave had played hard and closed off the podium spots after scoring 4 points and a

positive spread of 107.
The word formers would once again be in action when GASP stages the annual Emancipation Day competition Thursday August 1 next in the pavilion of the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas lands and the rivalry is anticipated to be just as intense.
The tournament will be two tiered with players ranked 1700 and above playing in Class A category while the other group will be contested among those players ranked below 1700. The ratings have recently been released and the players would be aware of their respective groups.
Registration period commences at 09:45hrs while the tournament gets underway at 10:00hrs sharp. As usual, those players arriving early will enjoy a $200 discount from the registration fee of $700; latecomers will not enjoy this concession.
