=== 3rd Niagara Falls International Open Scrabble® Tournament ===
Last weekend it was my great privilege and honour to help run the biggest Scrabble® tournament ever held in Canada, presented by Jason Broersma and Sue Tremblay and co-directed by the ever-competent and highly personable Kieran O'Connor. I don't need to tout the details here but I will say that this really was a fantastic event and everyone serious about the game should plan on attending when it comes back around again.
People will be talking about this one for a long time to come. I had a great time but it was a lot of work and I look forward to giving more attention to events in my own back yard in the months and years to come.
=== Welcome Adam Fine ===
At the Ft. Meyer event in April I chatted with Adam Fine (late of Rockville MD) about making the switch and when he heard that I was planning on hosting semi-regular events at my place in Gaithersburg (which would be just a few miles down the road from his new home) that was enough to convince him. Please join me in welcoming Adam and let's do what we can to help him get ready for our June 17 event (more on that below).

Saturday June 17 will be the first DC Metro CSW tournament at WGVC R&D HQ in Gaithersburg MD, full details on the "perpetual flyer" at http://media.wgvc.com/w/[[DC_CSW_Tournaments]]. As has been the case for my previous area events, this will be an all-inclusive event, with lunch and snacks, shuttle pickup from the Shady Grove Metro Station, an opt-in winner-take-all prize pool and all the seltzer you can drink--everything covered by your , the usual $25 entry feestill in effect.
I will also guarantee that this and future events will feature the largest number of electronic scoreboard pixels per player of any event anywhere in the world, by a margin of several orders of magnitude.
