SUMMARY OF SOME BASIC RULES

Courtesy of ASPA (Vic)

START:

The draw for your section will tell you who you are playing, who starts the game (the player with the asterisk) and your table number

END OF TURN:

Announce your score and press your side of the clock – your turn is over when you have done this
Do not challenge your opponent’s word until he/she has pressed their clock (otherwise they may change their move)

CHALLENGES:

Don’t hesitate to challenge the words with which you are not familiar
Use only one challenge slip per move, and write all words you are challenging on that same challenge slip, together with your table number
Make sure that all words on the challenge slip have been spelt as displayed on the board
Check the printed slip for accuracy when it is returned
The clock is paused during word challenges, and when settling differences in the score
If you are uncertain of anything don’t hesitate to call the Tournament Director, who is happy to answer the queries of all players.

END OF THE GAME:

If you have the final turn in a game, announce your score, then stop the clock
Leave the board undisturbed until you have checked the result slip and signed it
The loser places the tiles in a 10 x 10 grid on the board
The winner takes the result slip to the computer operator and fills in the results of the game on the wall-chart
