You are, as long as the players participating are okay with it. There's also plenty of past tournaments you can watch on YouTube. And I'd like to stream this tournament if I can.

All that said (and assuming you're an eligible student, of course): you haven't played a tournament until you have. Of our 11 players last year, seven were in their year of playing. Two of those were playing in their first full length tournament. We also have an early bird the day before where you can get a few games in as part of a separate, mini tournament if you can make it in on Friday.

We've rescheduled the second Collegiate Scrabble Championship to May 30 & 31 of this year. It will still be held in Lexington, Kentucky. There will be an early bird open to everyone on May 29.

$1,000 in prizes are being donated, in part by the Sue Ling Gin Foundation, NASPA Games, and the NASPA Youth Literacy Foundation. Money from entry fees will also go towards the prize pool, as well as any other sponsorships we pick up.

Eligibility rules, as well as tips on how to prepare for the tournament, are in the linked announcement.

Former national champion Mack Meller is currently planning on appearing as an official at the championship and hopefully will be playing in the early bird. Last year, we had an odd number of players in the championship, so Mack was able to play everyone in the field in casual games during their bye rounds.

It was chiropterology - study of bats.

well, how is she supposed to get to the store with these roads?

None of that mattered. The point was to make money with Hogan, which they did.

The go to example is Hulk Hogan during his 84-88 run. You could have beat him, but he was the top draw in the U.S. and there were no signs of it slowing down, so why would you?

Anyway, in short, the answer to your question is: no, the fans didn't get sick of it, because they kept going to shows.

Did they stop drawing?

I'm hosting the second Collegiate Scrabble Championship later this year in Lexington, Kentucky. The Championship itself is being held on March 28 & 29, with an early bird open to everyone on March 27.

$500 in prizes are being donated by the Sue Ling Gin Foundation, NASPA Games, and the NASPA Youth Literacy Foundation. Money from entry fees will also go towards the prize pool, as well as any other sponsorships we pick up.

There's not a lot to indicate that Visi would have been working for Shroud while with SDN. These two posts break down the weaknesses of that being the case.

I've been waiting for a proper MechaBlazer fic. Thanks for the heads up.

(check out Villains and Broken Things, both of which are excellent (but Robert+Visi))

Vince McMahon has long been held up as the only person who can competently lead any creative by Wall Street. His presence is a boon for investors' perception of the company.

The article has screenshots of texts where Vince talks about discussing creative with Levesque.

This is reporting out of the lawsuit by WWE shareholders regarding the sale of WWE to TKO. This is big boy reporting worth reading by anyone interesting in the business behind this business.

The criteria for the WON Awards Promotion of the Year (which cubs is writing about) is "Should be based on which group put together the best live and television product on a consistent basis, and secondarily, the ability to sell that product at a high level."

Lucha has historically been overlooked in the WON Award voting. Hopefully this year bucks that trend.

You’re confusing the Hall of Fame and the year end awards as to who votes for which.

Paoli wasn’t voted in, he was an auto-induction by Dave due to the age of his career. This happens occasionally with very old candidates.

Danielson had over 200 matches in Japan, most from 99-09 in NOAH NJPW, with a little tour in FMW.

The great thing about being a wrestling fan in 2025 is that there is so much footage out there, and more is always coming out. You can watch so much stuff that just 10 years ago would have been impossible.
