The Tel Aviv Scrabble® Club

There were 22 of us last week, including newbies Yuval and Rachel, and visiting Mindy. Welcome, all!

Standings: In Aardvark, four shifter. Gila B. was the biggest climber, up 2 after a great week. In Madoqua, five shifters, with Phyllis, Natalie and Barbara each climbing 2 spots. No shifts in Zyzzyva.

Scores: No records broken. There were three 500+ scores (Ma’or, Naomi, Josh), two 1300+ triples (Naomi, Omri), and four 1200+ triples (Joel, Ma’or, Phyllis, Josh). Not impressed.
