On October 12, 1996 in the basement of a Unitarian church on the town green in Lexington, Massachusetts, a carpenter named Michael Cresta scored a world record 830 points in a game of Scrabble. His opponent, Wayne Yorra, totaled 490 points. On that day three records were set for Scrabble in North America.
1. Most points in a game by one player - 830.
2. Most total points in a game 1,320.
3. Most points on a single turn - 365, for Quixotry, played by Cresta himself.

See their record breaking game below!

Quixotry means visionary schemes in case you're wondering.

Battle of the Surfaces - Federer vs Nadal

August 29th 2007 09:39

The Battle of Surfaces was an ATP Men's Tennis exhibition match that was held on May 2, 2007. The contest was fought out between by the world number 1, Roger Federer and world number 2, Rafael Nadal, with Nadal finally prevailing 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (12-10). What made the match unique was that it was played on a hybrid court which was half clay and half grass. The event was held in Rafael Nadal's home town, Palma, Mallorca in front of a home crowd at Palma Arena.

The reason for constructing a hybrid court is that, when this match was played, Roger Federer had dominated the grass court with 48 straight victories while Rafael Nadal had dominated the clay court with 72 straight victories

Table Tennis Professionals

August 24th 2007 08:48

History of Ping Pong - The game has its origins in England as an after-dinner amusement for upper-class Victorians in the 1880s. Mimicking the game of tennis in an indoor environment, everyday objects were originally enlisted to act as the equipment. A line of books would be the net, a rounded top of a Champagne cork or knot of string as the ball, and a cigar box lid as the bat. The popularity of the game led game manufacturers to sell the equipment commercially. Early bats were often pieces of parchment stretched upon a frame, and the sound generated in play gave the game its first nicknames of "whiff-whaff" and "Ping-pong." A number of sources indicate that the game was first brought to the attention of Hamley's of Regent Street under the name "Gossima". The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before English manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "Ping-Pong" then came to be used for the game played by the rather expensive Jaques equipment, with other manufacturers calling theirs table tennis.
