Nairobi National Tournament Results

The first WSC/EASA qualifier attracted the largest field ever in the KESPA scrabble scene. The young turk outfoxed the WILLY Fox in his final game to lift the first trophy of the season in a strong field boasting at least 7 national champions. An unnamed 'green horn' had the audacity to appear in the money bracket early on before self destructing to claim a finish in the middle third of the field. Congratulations to the new champion. The win was worth 8k and pole position in the race for EASA slots. Below are the final results.
