[event logo]

The SCRABBLE® ALL-STARS 2003 tournament brings together the top 24 players in North America. It features nine former World and (U.S.) National Champions: (alphabetically) David Boys, Brian Cappelletto, Joe Edley, David Gibson, Rita Norr, Joel Sherman, Ron Tiekert and Joel Wapnick.* The remaining 16 players (and one alternate) were chosen based on peak tournament ratings (not including acceleration bonuses) after 60 fully-rated games, during a qualification period of January 1, 2002 to May 5, 2003 inclusive. This peak rating is tabulated below under the heading Pk60.
