Weekly Roundup for week of Feb 5, 2008
Several of us made it into the Washington Times' feature Friday on Scrabulous, including Sarel Kromer, Stefan Fatsis, and Susan Orlins.

A report on last Tuesday from director Ralph Moore: The February 5 session was unusual in that two players achieved 5-0 records: Carole Denton and Nandini Dickens, with Carole having the edge on point spread. It was a banner night for bingos, with Carole scoring 10, KC Frodyma 9, and 6 each for Betty Berger, Ted Gest, and Ralph Moore. Damon Gulczynski had the highest game score, 515, and Carole had the biggest bingo: repents, for 93 points.
