The Tel Aviv Scrabble® Club

There were 32 of us last week, including a few of our foreign guests from the Israeli Open, Ferenc, Alan A., Jake and Brigitte. Welcome, all!

Standings: In Aardvark, Phyllis overtook Maureen, moving into 7^th. The only change in the division. In Madoqua, no fewer than 10 (!) shifters. Maxine was the biggest climber, up 6. In Zyzzyva, Gila managed a wee climb.

Scores: No records broken, not a single 500+. There was one 1400+ triple (Naomi), one 1300+ (Omri), and five 1200+ (Ferenc, Jake, Phyllis, Nancy, Maxine). Not impressed at all!
