11th ISNSC (Individual Category)

Hi Xishan Scrabblers, the individual category for 11th ISNSC will take place on 28th April 2012, next Saturday. This is the first time where the junior players take part in individual games. The senior group got the experience from 2011 Jurong Green CC Scrabble Competition. Well, there is some slight change in gameplay. From the schedule given, each player has 25 min of gameplay (50min per game) and there's a total of 6 games. And they are using the 2007 version Collins Scrabble Dictionary which I can't find online.

Anyway, let this competition be a learning platform for you. Do not give yourself too much stress. Focus more on the experience and the learning. Pick up skills which you find good and learn from your opponents. Most important of all, exhibit our school values and show gamesmanship. Following is some details:

Date: 28th April 2012
Assemble time:7 am @ Outside General Office
Move out time: 7.15 am
End time: 5.30 pm (There might be an extension of end time, depending on the organiser.)
Attire: School Uniform
To bring list: stationery, water bottle, jacket
Consent will be given on Tuesday.
