The Tel Aviv Scrabble® Club

There were 27 of us last week, including visiting Kay. Welcome all!

Standings first. No shifts at the top of Aardvark, though a single game now separates Naomi (3rd) from Evan (1st). Michelle and Liliane both moved up a lost, overtaking Ya'ir, who slid down a couple of notches. In Madoqua, Gila's still queen, but Mona, up a position, is breathing down her neck. Phyllis also had a great week, up a spot too. In Zyzzyva, it's still all about Queen Adriana. Elisheva moved up a spot into 2nd, her best position ever. The biggest climber was...the absent Gila S.

Scorewise, not bad. Linda, Kay and Jennifer had their best ever scores. Kay and Jennifer had their best ever triples. There were seven 1200+ triples (Naomi, Gila, Adriana, Michelle, Agi, Liliane, Phyllis). Well done, all!

WWW: Agi, Naomi, Michelle, Mona
Aardvark High Score: Maxine - 522 ; Naomi - 471
Madoqua High Score: Gila - 510 ; Linda - 482
Zyzzyva High Score: Adriana - 455 ; Gusta - 450
Aardvark High Triple: Naomi - 1278 ; Michelle - 1271
Madoqua High Triple: Gila 1261 ; Phyllis - 1200
Zyzzyva High Triple: Adriana - 1238 ; Agi - 1214

Player of the Week: Not an easy choice. Naomi and Michelle both went undefeated, the latter managing a small climb. Phyllis, Madoqua's biggest climber, won three games (out of four), scoring well in the process. Elisheva had a good night too, winning two games and conquering the 2nd slot. But the award this week is Agi's. With three big wins and an upward climb, Agi is Player of the Week. Well done!

Word-of-the-Week: Only 53, and most were quite plain. Adriana's CERCARIA, however, was a fantastic find and is Word of the Week. Well done!
