Chatswood Tournament - 3rd July 2004


This tournament celebrated a milestone in that John Barker celebrated his 3000th tournament game in the first game of the day. It was noted that the feat was even more remarkable given that all 3000 games had been played upside down. Before the event he was presented with a wall clock to help him arrive on time for future tournaments, and John responded by saying that for him Scrabble was one big long party which gave him considerable enjoyment. For the record he played his 3000th game against Hanne Marks and won it.

The day went very smoothly, helped by the fact that all 83 players arrived on time, with no unexpected arrivals and no no-shows. The only hitch was the parking arrangements around Chatswood which had changed, causing extra confusion and expense for some. One player, Rudy Puntschuh, even misplaced his car, so far did he have to venture to find a free parking space.

Here are the results and ratings:
