My Scrabble stats!!

Wah.... I got my US Scrabble stats online... so paiseh, my ratings dropping like a heavy stone in water... didn't even knew this site existed... my meanderings through blogs lead me to it.

I was kinda reading through some blogs... went to Scratchpad, written by Ricki. He is one friendly Singapore Grandmaster, who was most encouraging when I started my competitive Scrabble life again, 5 years back. He almost seems normal by Scrabble standards, notwithstanding his word power.

Then found out about Scrabblestats, written by Hubert. Hubert is one Scrabble-savant. He kinda started off Scrabble about when I started playing. Both of us were written up in the Singapore SA News as upcoming players, but he way surpassed me already. I had challenges communicating with him, as he had with most others. But he certainly made strides in mixing with the Scrabble community, and brought out the best in his talents in Scrabble. So surprised that he even blogs. And he had a link to Cross-tables, the US ratings site. So, I went to look for my stats, and there I was. So paiseh.... my records really is sucky. As of today, I have a peak rank of 2070th in the US! I guess that's alright, considering US has such a big pool of players. As of today, in Singapore, I am 30th of 81 members and in Malaysia, 84th out of 290 players, so it is humbling to be in the US rankings...

One tournament coming up this weekend. Hope I do better this time!! I only wish for balanced racks. Time to kick ass!
