Hey everyone,

Thanks for your support. I've played Scrabble competitively for 6 years now, and this is the best I've done at any major tournament. It's my 2nd Nationals tournament, and I've been to 4 Victorian Championships, the International Sydney Masters once, and also twice I represented Australia at the World Youth Scrabble Championship (2006 and 2007). It's a very stressful and hard-working hobby, and there's a lot of practice that goes into learning words and strategy, and I'm very lucky that my friends and family support me with it and respect how fiercely competitive I am with this game. Other people think I'm crazy...but so what? It's all a bit of fun, and I have a ball!

Victorian Championship is in June - we'll see how I go this time around - I've never gotten higher than 15th there before!


Cheers everyone!!

I just about understand the attraction of Scrabble though I don't play it much myself. Having read the scrabble columns in the papers every now and then I know that there is much more to the game than knowing obscure words. Kudos ( ;D ) to you for being able to play it at that level, complete with word power, strategy and goodness knows how much practice you have to put in.

Excellent job, Hydro!  :yesyes:

(And semi-nice image-editing job, Exodus!  :winkgrin: )

Ya, my family won't play scrabble with me any more, either, Hydro....  ::)  (They gave up the time I played "weir" for triple-word score on a dangling "r" near the end of a game, and one of them challenged me.  I even gave them the definition of it, which they said I "made up!." The dictionary let them know who was making up what! LOSERS! )

'Good to see you doing "something productive" with your non-Halo time, tho!  ;D

...And do NOT hope to take that #1 spot someday! ... Then you'd have nothing to shoot for!  :siderofl:


Congrat's again!  That is quite an accomplishment, indeed!

Congrats Hydra!!! Scrabble gave all bookworms an excuse to drag around multiple volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary.  ;D
