Scrabble CC Style III [Winner: dragon dor]
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:28 am
Here we go again! This is the third edition of Scrabble CC Style and all the maps are different, again!
5 games at a time. All 1v1 games.
Games will be randomly assigned to members as letters are in Scrabble. Win that game, get that number of points.
Players with the lowest number of points at the end of each round will be eliminated.
Round 1 - 40 members – each player plays 10 games with 10 different opponents
Round 2 – 20 members – each player plays 10 games with 10 different opponents
Round 3 - 10 members – each player plays 10 games, each player will play every remaining player and one twice
Round 4 - 4 members – each player plays 10 games
Round 5 – 2 members – play 15 games
Scores are cumulative until the last round which will begin 0-0.
In the event of a tie, the tied players will play 5 "scrabble" games and the player with the highest score will advance.
If you win 4 out of 5 in a session, you will receive a double word score (double the points for that session). If you win 5 out of 5 in a session you will receive a triple word score. You will receive a double letter score if you win in 10 rounds or less. Triple letter score if you win in 6 rounds or less.
26 different maps which will repeat as often as their letter - 26 maps of varying point values. Here is the English distribution of the letters (thanks to Wikipedia):
[spoiler=maps]1pt
E=Classic Shapes
A=Greenland
I=Iceland
O=San Marino
N=Gilgamesh
R=Mongol Empire
T=Tamriel
L=Middle East
S=San Francisco
U=Puget Sound
2pts
D=Egypt: Upper
G=Egypt: Lower
3pts
B=8 Thoughts
C=Chinese Checkers
M=WWII Iwo Jima
P=Berlin 1961
4pts
F=Draknor - Level 1
H=Sydney Metro
V=Solar System
W=Age of Realms 3
Y=D-Day Omaha Beach
5pts
K=Castle Lands
8pts
J=Poison Rome
X=WWII Ardennes
10pts
Q=WWII Galaza
Z=Pearl Harbor
Blank Tiles= Doodle Earth (for the special twist - 10 pts if you win, 5 pts if you lose and it still counts, even if you lose, as a win in the double/triple word score. No double/triple letter score will apply.)
Obviously this means that if you are good at complicated maps, you have an advantage. Just like in Scrabble you have an advantage if you know long words with weird letters. But you could still win by winning lots of the easy ones since the difficult ones do not occur that often.[/spoiler]
Settings for all maps will be seq, escalating, chained and no fog.
Premium is needed as 5 games will be played at a time. After 72 hours of not responding or deadbeating without a really good excuse, you will be kicked out.

I think you caught me before I sent you the pm saying that you had a reserved spot and were in if you wanted to be.
