City Scrabble player qualifies for world championships
2001
Overview
[Christopher Sykes] hopes his current prediction is just as poor. The field will be tough as he joins some familiar Canadian names on the Scrabble circuit, including reigning world champion Joel Wapnick, national champion Ron Hoekstra and the man who finished ahead of him at the qualifiers, Zev Kaufman. Sykes, 35, has been involved in tournament play for five years but hasn't competed in a competition of this magnitude, or with such a gruelling schedule. Twenty-four games will be played over three days against players from 42 countries, including Scotland, Australia, the U.S., Kuwait, Poland and Uganda. The two players with the best records will face off in a best three-of-five series for the title and a prize of $25,000 U.S.
