During breakfast Buckingham Browne & Nichols SCRABBLE® coach, Mark Fidler, warms
up his teams. As returning champions, BB&N Middle was permitted to bring both a second team
and the event's alternate team (we were "even" and didn't use an alternate this year). Since
BB&N Lower is a separate school, they sent their own team, hence three competing BB&N teams.
