20130213 - 2nd WGS Boggle Mini

18 players took part in the 2nd WGS Boggle Mini, a higher participation rate than 14 of last year. The players were seeded by results from the 1st WGS Boggle Mini, and unseeded players were arranged by alphabetical order, with the exception of players 16 and 17 being added in last minute, and players 18 and 19 to enter only during later rounds, to arrive at the start list below.

The pairings system used was Australian Draw, though we tweaked the pairings to allow those who came later to play more rounds instead of receiving 'byes'. After 8 exciting rounds, the tournament concluded with the results below.
