Thank you to everyone who supported our second Regional event of the year in Ballarat! Congratulations to the following players:
Joanne Craig (NSW) – Winner of the event, after going undefeated! High Game of 561.
Craig Murdoch – Country Champion, having last won the accolade in 1998! The Country Champion was awarded to the best performance by a Victorian from a non-metro postcode.
John Rider – Runner Up for the Ballarat Open.
Heather Long – Runner Up, Country Championship.
Carol Rollmann – High Word (HEARINGS for 158)
Our Regional events form an integral part of our calendar. We look forward to as much support as possible at upcoming events. The next regional will be held this July, in Wodonga.
We had 26 players take part in the first Sessions event since 2020, which was a great turnout!
We welcomed Adi to our events today and hope that he, and everyone else, enjoyed their afternoon. Congratulations to our gold medal winners from today: Fadlan Rex Bill and Eileen.
Trevor’s 612 and Paula’s 99 for HERDING were the High Game and Word from today.
Another Friday Night Scrabble has been run and won! Congratulations to Paula Messer for going undefeated in the event to claim her maiden FNS Title. We hope everyone who attended, included our newer players, had an enjoyable time in this relaxed competition format.
We returned to Mordy HQ for the first time in 2025 for the latest edition of the Bayside Open – thank you to the 20 players who played our event. Prizes were awarded today for 1st place, 2nd place, Best Rating Gain, Runner-Up Rating Gain, 3rd Place Rating Gain, and High Word/Game. This format allows us to give multiple prizes out no matter how people performed on the day 😊
1st Place – Nick Ivanovski
2nd Place – Alan Burn
Best Rating Gain – Frank Csarics
Runner-Up Rating Gain – Mardi Healy
3rd Place Rating Gain – Carol Mascitti
High Word – Frank Csarics
High Game – Peter Kougi
Friday Night Scrabble returned for 2025 and it was our best attended event in this format. In an excellent start to the year, Rob York went undefeated, taking out the top seed (Fadlan) in the final round of the night. It was great to see three new players take part and we hoped they enjoyed their night. Friday Night Scrabble returns on March 7 in Doncaster.
32 players helped us celebrate our 40th Birthday with a 3 Division event in Balwyn today. Our event was opened by Barry Harridge, the first President of ASPA and was a great chance for players to remember the early days. Trophies were provided to commemorate the winners – and it was very appropriate that Barry was able to secure a trophy with a stellar performance in B. Trevor and Annette received trophies in their respective divisions and we congratulate all our prize winners today (including our two youngest players who secured prizes as well).
The weather may have been rainy and made it perfect for Scrabble! This was our biggest Aestival since COVID ended and exceeded last year’s attendance by 2. We welcomed Julie, Caroline, and Finley for their first events – with further welcomes to Jane Taylor (SA) and for Sylvia and Alistair, who travelled from the east of the state to play today.
There were five divisions, played to a round robin format. David, Alistair, Jenny, Bobby, and Annette took the honours in a competitive field that featured three new players!
Thank you to all of you who supported our final event of 2024, the Decathon! It was our first event to use the new word list and it was great to see sightings of OWO, UWU, INT, BAW, and DUR amongst other words. Congratulations to Andrew for playing what was voted the most popular new word, which was VAQUITAS (a type of porpoise).
We had interstate and international presence at our event, which was wonderful to see. We welcomed Sumbul to our event circuit; like Fadlan and Bobby who came to our previous event, she is an international player who is based here for an extended period of time. In addition, Bill played his first in person event today, having been playing our online matches for the last couple of years.
Congratulations to David and all the other prize winners; we ended 2024 with the best attended Scrabble Victoria run event in 5 years and 2025 has so much more to promise!
