Hotel check-in irregularities 

Our team is incredibly disappointed by how frustrating it was for players to deal with the hotel. We knew and announced last night that their staff was dealing with a new registration system, as well as new management from the time we first signed a contract with them. We've since further learned that the hotel was also "booked" by a large group booking that was never confirmed, so many of the people (not players) waiting in line had no room available. This clearly exacerbated the problems. Regardless of the circumstances, this was unacceptable and we commit to working as hard as possible to never see a repeat. Needless to say we won’t be here next year.

A new beginning for a tournament with an incredible history 

This event is the 40th annual Montreal Scrabble Tournament. Bernard Gotlieb has been the driving force of Montreal Scrabble for much of that incredible run. We're so happy that Bernard will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for this event, welcoming players from 18 states and provinces. While Christine Cardinal is new to tournament organizing, she's worked tirelessly as the event's Social Director, creating a fun line up of activities that we hope you'll attend. We also want to recognize Sary Karanofsky and Josh Sokol for their contributions as well.  

Please allow extra time for hotel check-in

The hotel has told us that they upgraded to a new reservation system just yesterday and that delays are possible checking in. The hotel has assigned an extra staff person to help, but the check-in process may take longer than normal. Please allow extra time for check in, and keep in mind our start time of 730pm.
