Good times in New Orleans

Last weekend saw a continuation of a string of successful tournaments run by the powerful team of Crotty-Shin-Fukawa-Connelly in New Orleans.  This was the first one affiliated with CoCo and WGPO.  We hope it won’t be the last.  Here are excerpts from Lindsay Shin’s wrap-up message:

Thank you to the 104 players from 29 states and three Canadian provinces for joining us in New Orleans, Louisiana for a beautiful three days of Scrabble! We heard stories of upsets, new players, young players, veterans, seafood, jazz, muffalettas and poboys! We are thrilled to have our favorite community enjoying our favorite city.

(See TWL Results and Collins Results for the winners and prize distribution)

We are grateful for the donations and support from WGPO, CoCo and Scopely! We are also grateful for the use of the various NASPA products such as the dictionary and TSH program. Without each of you, this event would not have been possible. Thank you! Players! Same comment! Thank you for continuing to play with us and for making the Crescent City Cup possible!

Finally, we want to recognize our organizational team. Christian and Andrew Kay did another wonderful stream! We reached a new peak of over 200 viewers for our event. Keep a look out for a final wrap up video! Tim and Kate Fukawa-Connelly continue to run a seamless event with pairings expertise beyond my understanding. And if you saw our home throughout the year, you’d know that preparations for this event starts long before January. My mom, Lila Crotty, my husband, Austin Shin, and myself, we love how much you all love this event and we will continue to host it as long as you all enjoy it!
