Scrabble Fact o’ the Day: You can play words without vowels! “Hm,” “mm” and “sh” are all valid words, according to the game. (Telling all of you might not have been the best idea…)

I won’t be able to go to Scrabble tomorrow. Kat or Sophie, would you be able to set stuff up?

Summer Scrabble League, Week 3 is a go!
Tonight…we scrabble…in HELL!
Same deal as ever: 6:30 pm at Fat Cat Billiards, 75 Christopher St.
Scrabble fact o’ the day: Scrabble purist/freak Donald Sauter has this website with a manifesto for Scrabble II — a revised version of the game with a whole host of changes, the most notable being a game dictionary that only allows words actual humans use. (sorry, XU.)

Game on!
Summer Scrabble League continues tonight. Same deal as last week: 6:30 p.m., Fat Cat Billiards on 75 Christopher St.
Scrabble Fact o’ the Day: The highest-scoring first word one can play is MUZJIKS. It’s a term for Russian peasants, and will nets 128 points right off the bat. Not to mention that intimidation factor.

Same time, same place next week!
I’m going to grab a cupcake (or cookie, or just something with sugar) and head to Fat Cat a little early (6ish) to hold down the fort. Look for the terrible summer scrabble sign or ask the front door guy to show you the way. See you soon!
Summer Scrabble! Tonight! Change of Location!
Tonight at 6:30p starts round one of the NYC Summer Scrabble Leage. Head to Fat Cat Billiards (75 Christopher St.) due to never ending city rain. And don’t worry about bringing boards as they provide them. See you there!
Guess what's starting a week from today? Oh, just...
If you have any interest in feeling good about yourself simply because you know words, join in the fun! Here are the logistics:
Every Wednesday at 6:30pm beginning June 10th.
Regular season runs for six weeks, with playoff being two weeks.
Point system: Anyone above a certain amount of points at the end of six weeks makes it to playoffs. Miss a week, miss the points. All player points will be...

Wednesdays?
I’m thinking we’re going to start this thing on Wednesday June 10th. I’ll write a full post about it then, but for now that seems like the best day. Mark your calendars or email me for questions.

Ok, I’m kind of at a loss for where to have a Scrabble tournament. I’m thinking Washington Square Park for the first week and then we can go from there. Would that work? Any other ideas?
I only played swimming.
Because I haven’t been a part of team sports for a very long time, Summer Scrabble seemed like the most logical idea for those of us who like words, socializing, and adult beverages. So, here’s what I’m thinking:
Time frame: 8 weeks long. Start the middle of June?
Point system: Total points added up per player at the end of each week. If you miss a week you lose the points.
