  • Scrabble Prodigy Mack Meller Minds His Ps and Qs, Catches a Few Zs, and Is Never at a Loss for Words
    n 2011, Mack Meller went to Stamford, Connecticut, for a Scrabble tournament. In the fi rst round, as he was settling in, the tournament director interrupted play for an announcement. This was highly irregular. But the news warranted it: Joel Sherman, a forty-nine-year-old former world champion from the Bronx, had just fi nished a game with 803 points — a new world record in tournament play and the fi rst time a tournament player had ever broken 800. Meller and his opponent, having stopped their clocks (in tournament Scrabble each player is allotted twenty-fi ve minutes to make all of his or her plays), placed their tiles face down and walked over to Sherman’s board. So did lots of other players. Meller couldn’t believe it. Eight hundred! That was Scrabble’s holy grail. Sherman had used all seven of his letters — called a “bingo” and good for fi fty extra points — seven times. It was a feat for the ages, but Sherman didn’t win the tournament. Meller did. He was eleven years old. t’s Thursday night, and Meller, now a lanky, sociable seventeen-year-old Columbia fi rst-year, leaves his room in Furnald Hall and heads for the subway. He carries his Scrabble traveling bag, which contains a round board, a chess clock, and a drawstring sack fi lled with exactly one hundred yellow plastic tiles. He gets out in Midtown and walks to a fi fteen-story building at Lexington and East 58th, where, in a room on the twelfth fl oor, the Manhattan Scrabble Club holds its weekly rodeo.

  • Coffs Scrabble Club Rules of Play
    C3O1F4F4S1S1C3R1A1B3B3L1E1C3L1U1B3 Newsletter # RULES Coffs Scrabble Club Rules of Play “Show me the rule.” Nick Kyrgios. Reference Dictionary:- ⚫ Collins Scrabble Dictionary – Fifth Edition 2019 (also known as CSW19) Note:- the Meriam-Webster Dictionary is used in North America & Canada. Reason: The standard dictionary for Tournament & Club use in Australia. Dictionary brands have different words &, in some cases spellings. This alleviates the problem of arguments. Commencement:- ⚫ Count the tiles before commencement of the game. This can be done quite quickly by placing a 5x5 set of tiles in each corner of the board to give you the 100 tile count. If any of the 100 tiles are missing place the tiles onto an alphabet count card, to ascertain the missing tile/s. Reason: Tiles can go missing in transport or accidentally in play. ⚫ Drawing tiles from the bag should be done above the level of the table, such that no tiles can be seen in the bag. Reason: Tiles are easily seen in the bag at certain levels. ⚫ In Club play, players decide who will draw first. Each player draws a tile; the player closest to ‘A’ goes first. However, a blank is considered to beat the ‘A’. These tiles are returned to the bag for the first draw. Reason: If left in play on the rack the other player will know at least one letter of your rack, esp. if a power tile or blank is a concern. ⚫ When using a non-rotating board the orientation of the board is agreed upon. ⚫ Tile tracking is allowed by keeping tally on the score sheet or a separate sheet.
