 | 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 I live in Gala and work at Gala Academy <3 |
| Stu Harkness Gawlay is how you say it if you want to sound local ;) |
 | George Armstrong If only you could make this weekend Stu, from Gawlay to Galway ! |
| Mike Lee But according to the rules, it don’t count mate.
|
| 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 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 *waits for someone from Croydon to complain* ;) |
| Stu Harkness I'll try not to declare it in the next rounds ! |
| 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 ;) |
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 :)
