Collins By Consent

CSW19 may be used on a game by game basis, but only if both players agree. Otherwise TWL18 will be used. All games will be rated by WGPO as TWL, regardless of the lexicon chosen. To avoid disputes, players must mark the LEXICON = TWL or CSW on the tally slip, and both players must initial it. If the lexicon is not marked, and a dispute arises, the game will be assumed to be in TWL18.

The Challenge rule will be double-challenge for TWL, and the 5-pt rule for CSW.

Two computers will be provided to adjudicate challenges, one for TWL one for CSW.

Covid Protocol

Players will be required to be double vaccinated (and show proof) as of Nov 7th 2021. There is no option to provide a negative Covid test, as mandated by WGPO, WHGG, and Calgary Scrabble Club policies. Also MASKS must be warn at all times.

For more information please see our previous article Covid Protocol for play at WHGG.

Awards

Over lunch, which the club will provide (ordering pizza) as it is celebrating its 40th anniversary, we will also mark the achievements of our members of the last two years at Thurs and Sun Scrabble. We will use all games played in 2020, and 2021, whether in person or online. As the club didn't collect any admission fees for any online games, we cannot give prizes as big as previous years. Thus, the prizes (free admission cards) will be prorated based on what percentage of the year was held in-person.
