Campionato Italiano di Scrabble 2008 (the 2008 Italian Scrabble
Championship) took place this past weekend in Rome. 21 players
competed for the title, and the final game can be viewed at

Note a few things that set Italian Scrabble apart from English:
1. Once per game, you are allowed to announce "cambio secco" and
trade all seven tiles before making a regular play.
2. When one player goes out, his opponent deducts the values of his
remaining tiles from his score, not doubled, and the player who
went out does not adjust his score.
3. There are 120 tiles, but no Js, Ks, Ws, Xs or Ys.
Not to mention words like CUOIAIE (played from a C, no less),
meaning women who work with or sell leather.
