The tournament will consist of three 30 minute games for a fast-moving night of wordplay and fun. Players can sign up as a team or as individuals, and be matched with a team if desired, in beginner/intermediate or advanced/expert divisions.
Registration is open to ages 12 and up and is $20 per player. For extra luck, players may buy a peek at a word list, get help from an expert, or purchase a blank tile. Each legal cheat is $5. Players may bring their own Scrabble game, or use a supplied board. To register, call 309-752-2014 or email riplfoundation@gmail.com by Sept. 7.
Mama Compton's, 1725 2nd Avenue, has generously donated the use of their restaurant for the night. Meals and drinks will be available for sale before and during the event.
