I don't remember which game it was, but for two turns in a row, I had only one consonant.

I went 4 turns once with zero consonants.

Thanks Unlegit.  You played a good game.

I guess the winner of Pool 3 starts a game with me?  Let me know.  :)

Ok, update so far:

Splent has won Pool 1 with a +76 point differential.
Sciopath has won Pool 2 with a 2-0 record.

Splent and Sciopath now play each other in a best of 3 match and the winner goes to the finals.

Pool 3 still has two games to be completed (Implode v. Accelerando and Accelerand v. Ben_Jamin)
Dublagent66 has won Pool 4 with a 2-0 record.

Once the final results for Pool 3 are in, the winner will play Dublagent66 in a best of 3 match, and the winner will go to the finals.

Lost first game 418-428.  He was up by at least 80 at one point though.  Very good game.

Wow.. that's three straight games >400 for Scio.

Impressive.

Looks like Implode has won Pool 3, so Implode and Dublagent66 now play each other in a best of 3 semi-final.  Winner goes on to face the winner of the Splent/ScioPath match for the championship.

So i assume I'll make one game and they make the other? Then perhaps we flip for the third if it gets there?

I got my ass stretched in my two games. The only complaint I have with WWF is that a lot of it can be dictated by luck. When you go 3 or for turns with nothing but vowels it's really easy to have no chance at recovering. I would love to get a Scramble With Friends tournament going!

I was wondering that myself.  Is there really an advantage for those who start the game?  Your idea is fine with me.

I've been thinking about the best way to handle this.  I'm curious to see what people think regarding who starts first.  My thought is that maybe going forward, whoever has the best record (or point differential) from the previous round gets to choose who starts the first game, and then you go back and forth after that.

Wasn't sure if that was too much though.  The other option is to just let the players decide for themselves.  I've heard some people claim that there is an advantage to making the first move, although I personally prefer to go second if given the choice.  But I don't particularly think it makes a real difference either way.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I think that for the next tournament, if we do pool play, then the first round will be two games against each opponent rather than one (or a best of 3 if a standard tournament play)

Not scramble with friends. Both opponents get the same exact board.
