Tis the season for competition. It's in Chicago's blood. The blood of its baby bear
and sock mascotted baseball players, the blood of its presidential politician and
its in the blood of tile-wielding Scrabble lovers. It is tournament time. 826CHI is
proud to announce our fine fall event
Teams consisting of two players (so you can have someone to
blame
in the improbable event you lose) compete in a fierce Scrabble
tournament where the traditional use of brain power mixes
with the alluring use of officially sanctioned cheats.
***
Tournament is open to any and all player pairs willing to lay their tiles on the line.
Scrabble-adium/ 826CHI & The Boring Store
at 1331 N Milwaukee Ave.
Saturday, December 5th, 2009. High Noon.
For the children. For prizes that defy words in your vocabulary.
For the chance to become CHICAGO'S CHEATING CHAMP
and have a trophy to back up the title!
Email cheaters@826chi.org with your (1) team name,
(2) player names,
(3) team fundraising goal. Sign up now! We only have space
for 32 teams. The registration fee is $30/ team.
As soon as a team has signed up, anyone and everyone can go to www.826chi.org/cheaters
and pledge their support for the team(s) of their choice. By donating money to the team,
the pledger increases the opportunities for the team to buy certain cheats. It is therefore
advantageous for team members to raise as much money as possible. During the tournament,
teams will use their cheats against opposing teams.
If you'd like to be an event sponsor, or for any other information, please contact
