In an effort to internationalise the game, a group of nutcases periodically revise the allowed vocabulary. Scrabble vocabulary developed into a bizarre jargon claimed to cover words from other languages. If you only play with friends, use any dictionary without the word "Scrabble" on its cover. This blog is primarily concerned with competitive Scrabble and the incompetence of some of its custodians..

HELLO HARRY


In reply to your email, there are different ways of looking at the matter. For me it was a lack of faith in the legal system. Yes, we could have started from scratch and employed a barrister with two possible outcomes​:
 
(a) Most likely we win and the Association be bankrupt. That was not exactly a desirable outcome.
 
(b) By a quirk of bad luck and some legal technicality we win but lose much more money, which was not a desirable outcome either.
 
I opted for the cheaper solution, even though many ASPA(Vic) members would be too thick to understand.

In hindsight, The choice to quit on the day was relatively a better choice, since we achieved the moral objective. Besides, natural attrition would take care of the main problem. We could then have two extra memorial tournaments and muse about how good the deceased were.
