There was an English Scrabble tournament in Alta on the 9th of February, at Thon Hotel, Labyrinten 6. The contestants played 12 games with 25 minutes designated to each player and a 5-point penalty for a wrong challenge. The word source was the Collins 2012 edition. As far as we know, this was the northernmost Scrabble tournament ever, and quite possibly also one of the smallest tournaments ever.
