Kicking the Big Time's Ass
Before heading for the National
Scrabble Tournament, Himself said he would be happy to finish with a
record of 10-20. If that doesn't sound ambitious enough, consider that
he was the 4th lowest ranked player in his division, playing people with
ratings up to 400 points better than his. The best comparison I can think of
is imagining a minor league team playing a major league team for 30 games.
The minor league team would be pretty psyched to win 10 games. Okay, now
that I've built that all up for you, here's
how he actually finished.
Yep, that record says 16-14. *6* games better then he hoped to do. Himself
is going to get around a 180 point ratings bump from this tournament. He
picked up a couple of small cash prizes (one for a high loss, one for a high
win) and a new board for winning his last game. He rocked at this
tournament, and I'm really proud of him.
