Notice:Scrabble Training Dates

Dear Scrabblers,

Please take note of the following:

1.Starting from this Friday,there will be compulsory Scrabble training on Wednesdays and Fridays for all members except those who have valid reasons(tuition,sick,injury,etc.)

2.Members will have to follow the same standard operation procedure like today,for both(Wednesday,Friday)training sessions.

3.Coach Adrian will not be present on Fridays.Despite this,please still take the training session seriously(excessive noise is not tolerated)

4.Everyone has to have these software's(zyzzyva and quakle) installed in their personal mac-books by next Wednesday.Download links are of the following:

 http://zyzzyva.net/download.shtml and quackle-0.96-macosx-intel.dmg.
 (If there are any problems with the downloading process,please bring your own thumb-drive for a manual transfer)

5. Other useful scrabble sites:

6.Tile checking is now a requirement for all our scrabble training sessions and no excuses will be accepted for those who fail to do so.

7.There will be a short test on Friday,it will consist of 20 three letter words.This is a reasonable task hence I expect all members to deliver results.For easy reference,these are the words that will be tested for Fridays test:

AAH,AAL,AAS,ABA,ABO,ABS,ABY,ACH,ADO,ADZ,AFF,AFT,AGA,AHA,AHI,AHS,AIA,AIL,AIN,AIT

Reminder:All members are required to write down all the words on the scoresheet upon making a move,this is to ensure that the amount of words tally with the score.

Thank You

Reminders:Scrabble(17/72013)

Please be reminded to bring your scrabble notes and training fees($50) tomorrow.On another note,please ensure that you have memorised your satire+? stem.There will be a short test on Wednesday and all members are required a minimal of 90% or above for it to avoid being punished.
