rajncajn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 If we let mucks dogs in, then we need 2. I would say we just give 2 random byes when the pairings are drawn. Sounds like a plan... Muck, mucks dogs. I see no difference there. Don't have a problem with a couple of spouses playing either if it gets us filled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Also wondering if we should hold off on starting new games once we have a full compliment so that everyone is playing with a clean slate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Single elimination? If it started tonight or tomorrow, I could join, I am going out of town on Friday and probably wouldn't have time to play this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'd be open to taking two spots since I've NEVER played this game before and, in all probability will get knocked out in my first game. Or, I should say, my dogs have never played this game before and they would probably get knocked out in their first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, actually, my dogs would like to play their first game tonight...like in 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'll play if it's not too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'll play if it's not too late. You're in. As is Scooby's Hubby. This is not a race, I would say we should try to get the first round done in about a week or so, so everyone should have plenty of time. I'd prefer not to have people (Muck and his dogs) have multiple teams. And with SH and Twiley we only need one more. Is that cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I don't have to play Scooby in the first round, I am tired of getting beaten by her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Suggestion ... Since whomever goes first gets a 'freebie' double word to start the game, and since whomever goes first is a bit of a crapshoot, let's undo the first double word score when determining the winner of each match. Its sort of like giving the "home team" in a FF game a three point home field advantage before the kickoff of the first game. It's hardly fair, and it skews the results towards whomever happened to go first. For example, in my game against twiley right now, I went first ("waive") and got an extra 12pts simply because i went first. For our purposes, we shouldn't consider it a win unless I'd actually beat him by more than 12pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Words with friends is different from Scrabble in that you do not automatically get double points for simply being first ... you have to open with at least a 5 letter word to get double. But then you also allow player two to get his/her choice of other bonus tiles. To me, it is neither here nor there. Of course, when you play cooby she opens with using all her tiles and gets a double on top of a double, so look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
