| 770 Game | |||||||
| On June 13, 1993 at Eagle Rock CA, during the annual local tournament there, was played a game featuring one of the greatest offensive outbursts in recorded Scrabble history. Club 44 director Alan Stern, the top rated player in the event, was defeated by Mark Landsberg 770-338. The winning score was and still is the highest(OSPD dictionary) in tournament or club play, hence an official game. Their combined scores tallying 1108 points is also a record for tournaments. The former official club record of 1111, since surpassed in 2006, was achieved at Club 44. A link for that game is on the home page. The game featured Landsberg's five bingos(Stern had two) including most certainly the never reproduced succession of a triple-triple, double-double and triple-triple bingos which garnered 405 points on those three turns alone.
