Johnny Canuck I'm spending 90% of the time in the triple rounds figuring out which letter is the fifth in every word that I think of. Efficiency :)

Stu Harkness Can I ask... Is it CSW words *only*? Or both dictionaries fine?

Fiona T Both Stu. I would have made it CSW, but you can't do a CSW junior LA in a tournament, so I'm checking disallowed words against CSW. So best of both worlds!

Fiona T Round 1 is completed! Thank you all for getting your games played.

Well done to the 16 players who've advanced to R2. There were some very close games, with the scrabble players taking full advantage of the CSW dictionary rule!

Special mention to Florence as the highest scorer with 284 points, and to Ronan as the unluckiest loser, missing out by just 2 points.

All scored games can be found on the spreadsheet.

I hope you enjoyed the format - very happy to take feedback or suggestions in the event that I run this again.

You will be playing a Junior LA. The apterous game score will be ignored and the score calculated from the scrabble value of the letters played - so OX will score you 9 points but IRONS will only score you 5.

****Please read carefully!*** - Where you can really get an advantage over your opponent is the judicious use of bonus squares - in this game the 2nd letter of every third round (R3,6,9,12,15,18) will be a double letter score. The fifth letter on every fifth round (R5,10,15,20) will be a triple letter score. R15 will have both a double letter on tile 2, and a triple letter on tile 5.

The bonus for a 7 letter word is 10 points.

Both players will score for their word regardless of who wins the round.

ODO invalid words that are CSW valid will also be scored.

Scrabble letter point value is as follows:

(1 point)-A, E, I, O, U, L, N, S, T, R
(2 points)-D, G
(3 points)-B, C, M, P
(4 points)-F, H, V, W, Y
(5 points)-K
(8 points)- J, X
(10 points)-Q, Z
