Lansing-Area High School Scrabble Tournament

Think you have what it takes to out-spell other high schoolers in the area? At Saturday’s (April 29) Lansing-Area High School Scrabble Tournament, groups of two to four high schoolers will compete in four 50-minute games for the chance to win gift cards and other prizes.

One team from each local high school will participate two-on-two in three round-robin Scrabble games and one final king-of-the-hill game. The team with the most wins, largest cumulative spread and highest total score will be crowned the overall winner, though there are prizes for other categories, such as highest-scoring bingo and high-scoring J, Q, X and Z words.

Teams should bring a rotatable Scrabble board with the standard 100 tiles and a rack; a timer with working batteries; and pencils, paper and erasers. To register for free, contact Rheanna Reeder, East Lansing Public Library’s teen services specialist, at rreeder@cityofeastlansing.com.
