An another idea, is it possible to run a topic such as "Where To This Weekend / Day", so we can wave at or look out for other people out to play when we know we will be in the region.

A thought for you Jimbo...


Can we apply "normal" Scrabble rules?

i.e. Today, I got 10 points for CRASH, can I at a later date add extra locations/letters and take the total score again?

e.g. I could add I, N and G to spell CRASHING (an extra 4 points) under normal Scrabble rules I score another 14 points (the original 10 plus the new 4)

or if I add B, A, R and S to spell CRASHBARS (and extra 6 points) can I get an extra 16 points?

Waddya think?





Still trying to work out a way to get Triple Word Scores :whistle:

So many questions, my fault I guess.
Extra rules: WORDS CAN NOT BE EXTENDED (eg. Crash+ing) once a word has been submitted that's it used. AND NO DOUBLE/TRIPLE WORD SCORES (madcow) ;)
I'll add these to the info post at some point.

Everyone should be able to view both your folder and league table.
If you go to 'Index' the 'ABR Challenge 2013' it all there to view at your leisure.

Had my first go out today in the beautiful winter sun bit chilly at 1 degree C :)

Its not as easy as it looks. :blink:

Lots of signs are missing and you cannot stop if you have a car up your back wheel :unsure:

I have had a fab hour or so out ambling around the little village near me. Some of them are really beautiful, I didn't realise there is a reservoir 15 mins away from me. This is a great competition.

Hi Si, Back from my hols now - just catching up with things on there.
Looks like you've gone into a storming lead, but don't underestimate the competition - some of them are very competitive!!!
