Seriously bro, if you're going to cheat, why scrabble? Why not save the cheating for something important?? Jptdknpa

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — One of the top young Scrabble players in the country has been kicked out of the game's national championship tournament in Florida after he was caught hiding blank letter tiles, organizers said Tuesday.
John D. Williams, Jr., executive director of the National Scrabble Association, said that a male player was ejected from the 350-player event in Round 24 of the 28-round event.
The cheating was spotted by a player at a nearby table, who noticed the ejected player conceal a pair of blank tiles, which can be used as wild card letters. When confronted by the tournament director, he admitted to it, organizers said.
Williams, who has served as executive director for 25 years and co-authored a book on the popular Hasbro board game in 1993, said this was the first incident of cheating at a national tournament. However, he said it's been known to occur at smaller, regional events.
"It does happen no matter what. People will try to do this," he said. "It's the first time it's happened in a venue this big though. It's unfortunate. The Scrabble world is abuzz. The Internet is abuzz."

Corruption corruption everywhere, when will it stop? Does anyone really care? Scrabble, jeez! Nothing like showing how the real system works, can't win? Cheat but don't get caught seems to be the norm these days. How very sad. I wonder, is this how Bernie Madoff started?

He shows initiative and emerging sign of a master strategist plotting to win using whatever means available to him.

A bit like the young James T Kirk in Star Trek.
