 | Adam Latchford heh, hope its either 2 or 3! Tried to spread myself |
 | David Holmes Well I think it's safe to say I had no idea what I was doing there! |
 | Mike Lee Sarah, not sure option 1 is going to help you as it looks like you got a lot of Deepdown maxes but not many "Double Deepdown" maxes |
 | Maria Chandler I tried to do all of them at once with varying degrees of success 😆 |
| Sarah Binns Ah I have never played deepdown variant before |
| Sarah Binns Another tourney fail from Binns |

Tourney round: Advent Calendar 2024: Day 1: Deepdown Letters Attack
Notes from the organizer: We getting going with a Deepdown Letters Attack.
The three scoring options are as follows:
1. Game will be scored based on if the game was Double Deepdown. For example if RELATIONS is the regular max, TAILORS would be a suitable Double Deepdown max
2. Alternating starting letter for each word by starting with consonant or vowel. For example OATS, SET, AREA, BATTER and so on. Declaring a word out of sequence will result in your score ending there.
3. Alternating last letter of each word by starting with consonant or vowel. For example FEED, TWO, DOG, BANANA and so on. Declaring word out of sequence will result in your score ending there.
Games will be scored based on one of the three options but you don't know which one it will be.
