Congratulations to our two finalists!

I've allowed three weeks for your game here by request.

Hopefully you know the rules by now, but a reminder never goes amiss -

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.

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
