It’s Scrabble with a twist! A team of 6 members work together to build words and play 3 games. The team achieving the highest total for all 3 games is declared the winner! Enjoy an evening of friendly competition! Each team is assigned a Word Waiter, a regulation Scrabble Board and a bag of 100 tiles. We will have 2 Divisions:
1. The Tortoise Division is for those teams that prefer to play Scrabble the traditional way. Rules for the Tortoise Division will be found here.
2. The Hare Division is our version of speed Scrabble.
Played in three timed rounds, teams are given 100 tiles to build words as fast as possible. Each round increases in difficulty as tiles are removed and the time decreases. Normal scoring rules apply.
-
Round 1 = 20 minutes
-
Round 2 = 15 minutes — 20 tiles are removed, but you can buy them back for $5 each
-
Round 3 = 10 minutes — 10 tiles are removed, but you can buy them back for $5 each
Rules for the Hare and Tortoise Division will be found here.
