A few snaps of our New South Welsh representatives at Michael Tang’s mammoth Causeway Challenge in Bangkok, Thailand. Attracting 438 players from over 30 countries, this tournament was the Scrabble event of the decade—of course it may be topped by the 2028 Malaysia Causeway which will have 1,000 vacancies. Congratulations to Victoria’s David Eldar for winning the Premier Division!

We held our second Ratings Improvers tournament of May at Burwood on Saturday. Jyoti Chandna was the most significant improver in Division A, winning 5 from 8 games and collecting 40 ratings points. Sharon Sorensen’s gain of 33 points was the second-highest, followed by Colleen Birch’s increase of +24. Edward Okulicz may not have turned any heads with his 5-point gain, but he took home a prize for finishing atop the field.

Jean Noonan wasn’t messing about in Division B, achieving a clean sweep and the highest rating gain. The next-best gains were from Sheela Sree Kumar (+37) and Phi Long Ma (+25). Phi Long’s final position of 8th from 17 earned him a prize for the highest finishing social player.

Joanne Craig won both the High Game (582) and High Word prizes. Impressively, two of her words tied for 149: SHAGGIER and PERILLED.

Hungry for more Scrabble? Our next tournament is at the Epping Club on Sunday, 14 June. Entry information can be found on the Scrabble NSW homepage.

Incumbent World Scrabble Champion, Adam Logan (Canada), has won the 2026 Australian Championship in Canberra with 19 wins and a spread of +1134. David Eldar and local lad Ronnie Bennett rounded out the top three.

South Australia's Victoria Gates won the Plate Division, edging out Ryder Lo and Olga Visser. The whole of NSW was barracking for Ryder, who looked poised to take the crown at the end of day 2. While it wasn't to be for our popular junior, we know he'll emerge from this tourney stronger than ever!
