About our club

News

Our facility is closed over the 2024 holiday period so there will be no club meeting on December 25 2024 or January 1 2025.

In 2022 one of our members won the North American Scrabble Championship. Incredibly another of our members took the title in 2023! Check out the details here.

When

Every Wednesday from 6:45 PM to 11:00PM

Where

Chalet #1 at Trudeau Park at 6975 Chemin Mackle, Côte Saint-Luc, QC.

What

We play Scrabble! Anyone is welcome to visit or join. We have players of all skill levels, from novices to champions. We are less structured than most Scrabble clubs – you don’t have to play a certain number of games. On the last Wednesday of every month we have a slightly more formal club tournament. If you come on one of those nights it’s best to arrive on time and be prepared to stay for four games.

Like most Scrabble clubs, the atmosphere is friendly but the games are competitive. As the late veteran U.S. player Stu Goldman observed:

There are two kinds of people who come to a Scrabble club for the first time. One kind gets beaten very badly, and they say, “This is awful. I’m never coming here again!” The other kind also gets beaten very badly, but they say, “I love this game. I’m gonna learn how to play it.”

We certainly hope you’ll enjoy yourself and come back again and again like so many of us do.

Ratings

Although we no longer publish new club game results online, we record the scores of the games and use the results to assign and update numerical ratings to players. We have our own rating system which is distinct from the one used by NASPA.
