Albany, NY. July 1-4, 2011: Speed Scrabble action between two of the top young SCRABBLE players in North America, Matthew O'Connor and Jackson Smylile.

The annual Nor'easter Scrabble tournament at the Marriott hotel, hosted by Annette Tedesco, drew over 100 participants. The highlight, for many, was the barbecue at Annette's house on the Sunday evening.
