National Scrabble Champ' final - live 10.30am this Sunday

Post by Craig Beevers »

Taking place in Cavendish Conference Centre in London on Sunday. The event is covered in a traditional online annotated format (ie graphic boards where you just navigate webpages to advance the game) and it will also be covered live on Ustream. I'm told there will be cameras in the auditorium (Brett Smitheram does a very good job explain the thought processes for each move and so on) as well as in the playing room and showing the players expressions etc. So it should be pretty good. The stream will be recorded so you can catch up later if you miss it.

The best of 5 final is between Paul Gallen (Belfast) and Wale Fashina (Liverpool, originally from Lagos). I'm sure most of you are familiar with Paul Gallen. Wale has won it before but is probably the underdog. Here are the links:
