September 9 saw the conclusion of another successful Word Cup.  The players were terrific:  pleasant and easy-going, ready to enjoy the tournament and absorb the local culture.  Local player Carl Johnson took home the first place trophy in Division 1, Iowan Mike Johnson won Division 2, and Minnesotan Bobbi Hendrickson won division 3.  Other money winners are listed at http://wordgameplayers.org/ratings/index.php?c=pu&a=tr&tournamentID=318&ratingType=Standard, but we were all winners, enjoying good times with good company.  Here are a few photos.
