As I reported last year, there seems to be apreponderance of 'Andrews' who play Clabbers. It is also unusual to discover Just how manypeople will claim to have a second name of Andrew just to cash in on this odd phenomenon! As
efore this was a straight knockout and was won by Andrew Fisher who beat Brett (Andrew)Smitheram in the final.Exeter Main EuentReport by Andy DavisWell, another Easter weekend has come and gone. Things seem to have gone as smoothly asusual, I haven't received too many complaints. The main non-scrabbling problem seemed to bethe early-morning alarm call for the Chagford block on Sunday Morning.The event filled up much more quickly than in previous years. I had to disappoint a number ofpeople wanting to get in after the event became full. If I run the event in future, I would be quitehappy to reserve individuals a place if they inform me early enough that they are thinking ofcoming.Scrabble-wise, the spacing of the tables was a bit cosier than usual, due to the increased numberof contestants. There were a few minor disputes for the director to sort out, usually Involvingmechanical clocks. I am aware of only one mis-adjudication of a challenge, and this was rechecked,so fortunately did not affect the outcome of the game.I made the decision to keep the SOWPOOS division to 19 players so that the person sitting out ineach round could adjudicate for the group, and I feel that keeping the SOWPODS group separatefrom the OSW groups in this way worked well.My own performance was much better than I expected, as I have been resting on my laurels abit since earlier performances this season. My best words were OUTBEAM ($) and REAGINIC ($).Impressive plays from my opponents were RABBONI (the first word I saw in the tournament, byJohn Grayson), SCRANNEL and FILAREES ($) from Femi, UNDOTTED ($) from the Fisherman,and MALTSTER from Martin. Particular commiserations to Martin, who would most certainly havebeaten me, were it not for an amazingly jammy penultimate rack on my part. The spectre of 0.00was raised when I took 10 points from a player to win the game, when their counter was stoppedon 0.00.The results of the weekend are as follows:Division A: 18 rounds fixed, plus 1 KotH: Division B: Round robin:Posn123NameA.
