To most MCers Scott W. is probably best known for his victory at the 1948 World Championships, and for his learned MC articles "A Beginner's Guide to Authorised Cheating" and "Fibbing for Victory".

Characterised by his academic approach to the game, Scott is resident professor at the Edith Spottiswood Centre for Mornington Research, where he is currently revising the official rules (the 74-volume concise edition). 

Last year, he narrowly lost to bab at the Australian International.  This is usually put down to the distraction caused by being bitten by "Lucky", bab's pet crocodile, a technique she has used with reliable results for several years.
