Option A: (2-4 p.m.) Cost: $5 per person
Drop in at 2 p.m., and play a game or two. Allow an hour to play a game.
Arriving on the hour will facilitate pairings. There is no need to pre-register,
just drop in and pay when you arrive. Please bring a game if you have one. You
may be your own referees for word challenges. Dictionaries are only to be used
to adjudicate challenges. All games shall be played by the rules.
Option B: (9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) Cost:
$25.00 per person. (Must pre-register)
Play in a 6 game tournament. Arrive between 9:10 & 9:15 a.m. Games will begin
at 9:30. Play will be in accordance with NSA rules and clocks will be used.
The Official Word List will be the dictionary used for challenges. Due to
the drop-ins in the afternoon, there will be some background noise that is not
present at rated tournaments. Remember that the focus for the day will be fun,
so adjust accordingly.
Register by March 17th by email at
pamhunter@comnet.ca, by phone at (613) 761-1005 or in person. Note:
Since this is a fundraiser, a formal lunch will not be served. Bring your own
lunch or eat at a number of venues in the area. Beverages and munchies will be
supplied.
Cheers,
Pam Hunter
