Mike Lee I’m sorry to be the party pooper on Stu here but is Gala really allowed???? The town is Galashiels and is just shortened to Gala for colloquial reasons.

Stu Harkness

Stu Harkness I live in Gala and work at Gala Academy <3

Stu Harkness

Stu Harkness Gawlay is how you say it if you want to sound local ;)

George Armstrong

George Armstrong If only you could make this weekend Stu, from Gawlay to Galway !

Mike Lee

Mike Lee But according to the rules, it don’t count mate.

According to Wikipedia, the only places in the world called Gala are in Iran, Tibet & Virginia.

It just says Gala is a popular shortening of Galashiels.

George Armstrong

George Armstrong "Towns that are known by a short form name like Hull will be score points, despite the full name being Kingston-Upon-Hull." If it's short form name is Gala and Stu has proven that, then it should stand.

Mike Lee Ok so when we declare shithole, that will be allowed because that’s what everyone calls Croydon!

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Also for future points, as I said in the group email, if people could send me a direct message if they have anything to contest. Would be more helpful than doing it here :)

George Armstrong

George Armstrong *waits for someone from Croydon to complain* ;)

Stu Harkness

Stu Harkness I'll try not to declare it in the next rounds !

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Yeah unless you finish 8th by 4 points or fewer it's ultimately trivial a rather pointless tourney if I do say so myself ;)

Tourney round: CountTown: Heats

<< Sign Ups Proper | Round Robin >>

Notes from the organizer: Here we go then. Everyone will have 3 games against Prune to rack up the most points they can, before the top 8 advance to the Round Robin. Remember only words that are both British village/town/city etc names AND valid Apterous words will count (so yes to READING but sadly no to STEVENAGE). If anyone feels like I've incorrectly adjudicated them, please send me a private message (and a wikipedia or google maps link or something) and we'll sort it out. Happy travels :)
