CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Fman99 Jan 17 2013 03:13 PM

Sign up here -- I will organize this. Seeding will be determined by your "ELO" rating as per the Scrabble/Facebook page, and this may or may not be affected by how many Jeff Lynne songs you can name. Single elimination, bracket style tourney. Lower seed will start all games with the "CPF Tourney Match" title and therefore get the first play. I am in. Who else?

Mets – Willets Point Jan 17 2013 03:21 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Me!

Edgy MD Jan 17 2013 03:30 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Deal me in, Fman. Should we post our current rating as we sign up?

Chad Ochoseis Jan 17 2013 03:46 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jan 18 2013 06:19 AM

In like Horace Wimp. 1463.

Ceetar Jan 17 2013 03:49 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

in. 1429, who's Jeff Lynne?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 17 2013 04:16 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

you know i'm in. double e is cooler.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jan 17 2013 04:42 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Yyyyyyyyep, though I've been playing the equivalent of clutch-and-grab, early-'90s-Knicks-defense-type Scrabble for weeks now. (1532)

seawolf17 Jan 17 2013 05:16 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

In, although I have no idea what my rating is. (FINE, I'll go download the stupid Scrabble app.)

Kong76 Jan 17 2013 06:15 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I'll give it a whirl to give a top seed an early KABOOMS! (which probably isn't a real word according to fb)

smg58 Jan 17 2013 07:38 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I'm a novice at 1200 (although I've played enough Words with Friends). Deal me in.

Fman99 Jan 18 2013 04:37 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Yes, please post your ratings also as I may not be FB friends with every participant. I am rocking out at 1546.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 18 2013 05:19 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

1609

metsmarathon Jan 18 2013 06:39 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

i'm sitting at 1506 right now, and am so in. it'd be cool if scrabble app could spit out a graphic of your elo.

seawolf17 Jan 18 2013 07:17 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Checked. I'm at a 1611 rating right now.

Mets – Willets Point Jan 18 2013 10:29 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

1639. I play on Facebook. Does anyone know how to sync the Scrabble iPhone app to games one is playing on Facebook? For some reason the iPhone app doesn't show my Facebook games so I've never bothered to use it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 18 2013 10:35 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

The Scrabble app I have on the android phone doesn't work for me, I can only play on a desktop.

Mine works fine on Facebook -- you have to go to the menu and log into Facebook from the Scrabble app, then it should load your games. Unfortunately, I can't get my Scrabble games to sync on my Nexus 7 tablet.

Ceetar Jan 18 2013 11:43 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

i stopped using the app because it sucked. Maybe I should redownload it and see if my fancy jelly bean makes it run smoother.

Of course now I can't figure out the password and their webpage is down. smooth.

TransMonk Jan 18 2013 02:14 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I'm in...even though, as some of you know, I am horrible at Scrabble. Still, it doesn't stop me from trying. 1165...Yikes!

Edgy MD Jan 18 2013 02:37 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

1411. Hopefully it'll go up after Willets' next move, unless he pulls one out and punches me in the eye.

seawolf17 Jan 18 2013 02:41 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Dibs on Monk in the first round.

Edgy MD Jan 18 2013 02:47 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Still at 1411.

Edgy MD Jan 18 2013 02:56 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

OK, I'm up to to 1426, which puts me 11th on my peer list, but second in total bingos. Which suggests I swing for the fences way too much.

Kong76 Jan 18 2013 04:26 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

1215 ... I need some Scrableroids

Fman99 Jan 18 2013 08:25 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

So far we have 12. I would love to get four more in and have a straight up 16 player tourney. Willets (1639) Seawolf (1611) JCL (1609) Fman (1533) LWFS (1532) metsmarathon (1506) Chad Ochoseis (1463) Ceetar (1429) Edgy (1426) Kong (1215) Smg (rating unknown) Transmonk (1165)

There are some 12 team double elimination brackets that also work. Let's give it the rest of the weekend and if no one else signs up I will align the brackets.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 19 2013 08:26 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Nymr83 Jan 19 2013 08:55 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I play words with friends on facebook, I guess I could sign up for scrabble too? Put me in as an alternate, if you have an even number I'm in but if its an odd number and putting me in makes for stupid byes then I'll sit it out

You could always ask your blogging friend to join the Pool.

Swan Swan H Jan 19 2013 09:50 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

What NYMR said - if you need more to get to 16 I'll play. I never Scrabbled on FB, but I do play Words.

Edgy MD Jan 19 2013 12:56 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Sheesh. Get the blogger to register at the Crane Pool for the purpose of smack talk, and then by the end of the tournament, we will have our tendrils around his or her ankles. He or she will never get out. We need the dues!

As I said before, my rating is 1200 because I haven't played Scrabble online.

OK, it's go time. These are the current standings, ELO-wise, which we will use for seeding as of this moment. 1. JCL (1633) 2. Willets (1615) 3. Seawolf (1611) 4. LWFS (1530) 5. Metsmarathon (1506) 6. Fman (1474) 7. Ceetar (1469) 8. Chad Ocho (1463) 9. Edgy (1436) 10. Kong (1215) 11. Smg (1200) 12. Transmonk (1165) Brackets and opening matchups are posted below. Top four players get an opening round bye. Smg -- please shoot me your real name via PM please, I don't know if we are Facebook friends currently. If you're not friends with your opponent, shoot me a PM and I will get you their info as I am friends with the other 10 participants in this. Please use "CPF Challenge" in your game titles to distinguish these games from any other Scrabble matches you may be currently participating in. Lower seeds should challenge the higher ones in order to get the opening round DW play. Please post final results as well as any smack talk in this thread. GOOD LUCK!

Ceetar Jan 21 2013 07:22 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Unless I'm missing it, there isn't a way to name the games anymore.

Ceetar wrote: Unless I'm missing it, there isn't a way to name the games anymore. Yeah, I'm not sure how to do this. I'm currently in the middle of another ass-kicking by metsmarathon. Once we complete this game (I have 6 tiles left), our rematch can be the tourney game.

Ceetar wrote: Unless I'm missing it, there isn't a way to name the games anymore. I noticed that as well. I guess we'll just go by the next game you start against the opponent in your bracket, knowing that many of you have several games going at any given time (I've been playing LWFS, MM, TM, JCL and Ceetar non stop for a couple of months now). Until the tourney plays out I will be less active with the rest of you, trying to focus on not losing my first two matches. I am now friends on FB with Smg and our match has started, deadlocked at 26-26. Maybe the easiest way to identify your match as a CPF tourney competition is to use the in-game chat.

Ceetar Jan 21 2013 10:01 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Crushing Kong 44-21 so far. of course I've had an extra turn, but..semantics.

Fman99 Jan 22 2013 07:12 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

First result is in, and I am glad I made this a double elimination tourney as Smg hands me my ass, 397-307, and drops a bingo on me in the process. He moves up to play Seawolf, while I await the loser of the Willets vs Kong/Ceetar 2nd round match.

smg58 Jan 22 2013 07:25 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

And so the battle of Stony Brook begins... PS It was a pleasure playing you Fman. And sorry about that bingo.

metsmarathon Jan 22 2013 07:50 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

i'm trying my damnedest to fend off a 12-5 upset against monk. he's got a 125-121 lead with 48 tiles in the bag, and the board is a sprawling mess with not a whole lot of hooks to be had.

I find the game to be one of streaks for me -- I will go 2-3 weeks where I feel unbeatable and the bingos all jump out of my rack, and then have the opposite run of bad luck, V's and U's, and I started one of the latter runs late last week. It's all good -- after all, I can still win this thing!

Kong76 Jan 23 2013 06:34 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

You can mark Ceetar in for a win, we're just going through the formality of putting me out of my misery. Good game, bro.

And Smg's Cinderella story continues as he moves on to round 3 to await the winner of the LWFS/TM match, while Seawolf drops down into Loserville to await a challenge from Kong. Still looking for an update on our sole first round matchup not yet completed, ChadOcho vs. Edgy. How's it going, boys?

Tighter than, uh, well...hey, you'll figure out a good simile. I'm up 209-130, but plenty of good letters still not played. 54 tiles on the board and we haven't seen a K, Q, X, Z, S, or blank yet.

Edgy MD Jan 26 2013 09:45 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I opened with L U V and that V really cut off the bottom of the board.

With 5 moves each down and 40 tiles left in the sack, a series of point-seizing RAPINES have given me the temporary lead in a 197-159 barnburner over TM.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 28 2013 09:14 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Ochoseis has sent me to the loser's bracket. He opened with a bingo, ATELIER, but I fought it off with a variety of stack plays utilizing the Ms, Ws, and Hs, not to mention Z and X, and eventually opened a 40-point lead. Then the board got tight, I played small trying to lose a Q, while Chad gathered in the other blank and all 4 of the Ss. Leading 246-194 after 10 moves, he buttfucked me with SPAY (47), FLUIDS (46) and RINK (62) back to back to back, all on triple-words, the latter extending LUTZ to KLUTZ, and has an insurmountable 368-327 lead with 1 tile left for each of us.

Fman99 Jan 29 2013 04:32 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Thanks for the update. MetsMarathon, you should now challenge JCL to your match in the loser's bracket, while Chad86 waits to challenge the Willets/Ceetar winner.

metsmarathon Jan 29 2013 06:47 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

well, that was a shitty start. exchanged two tiles.

metsmarathon Jan 29 2013 09:44 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

my opening draw was LINNERR instead of playing potentially valuable letters for a mere 12 points, i exchanged the extra NR tiles, figuring that just about anything i could possibly draw would be bingo magic. in return i get... CQ. damnit! we've since traded bingos, jcl with TRUNDLED, me with TOWLINE, and the game sits at 159-164 with 48 in hte bag.

I'm out, lost 417-401 to marathon in a back and forth battle. He pulled a wtf triple-line bingo TRIGONAL out his ass, which effed up my game and goaded me into a dumb mistake, I played a parallel AX vs. a less-lucrative crossword JINX for the extra 12 points or whatever it got me after that triple. He then scored even bigger on the X, which to me was the Miller Lite turning point of the game, even though we traded a couple more leads still.

Edgy MD Jan 29 2013 08:29 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

TRIGONAL? Sheesh, that's not human.

Kong76 Jan 29 2013 08:32 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Feeling dumber

metsmarathon Jan 29 2013 09:17 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

i was mostly just hoping for an I to make ORIGINAL. TRIGONAL fell together pretty quickly. it came after my second exchange of the game - not something i do very often, but i figured i needed to swing for the fences to win. i had, iirc, RIOLNII or something like that, and swapped out some Is. ddin't this app used to have a moves list? whatever happened to that...?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 29 2013 09:23 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

click the Dictionary, then there's a tab on top to view the pbp. I of course wound up with your swapped out i's, forcing me to play 7-point MINI rather than trading them in at that late hour.

Chad Ochoseis Jan 31 2013 03:33 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Willets ate the Q, but it didn't taste that bad as he won the game anyway. 360-358. I was down by 100ish in the middle of the game, but came back late with VARIANT for 69. Then counted tiles and tried to engineer the endgame. And did pretty well at it. But enough to topple the mighty Willets? No. No way. Great game, Willets.

Mets – Willets Point Jan 31 2013 05:33 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

I was biting my nails all through the endgame as Chad got his late bingo and then nibbled away at my lead. I knew I was stuck with the Q and a 20 point swing at the end of the game. Two more points and Chad would've won. It was a Masterful endgame.

Fman99 Jan 31 2013 06:20 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Nice work guys. Both of you have some time before your next tourney matches as you await the outcomes of other games.

Mets – Willets Point Feb 01 2013 08:02 AM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

It should also be noted that Chad blocked the last I on the board when it was obvious I had the Q and thus nowhere to play QI.

Ceetar and I are having a battle, he just bingoed me with SOIREES but his lead is just 182-178 with 29 tiles left in the bag.

Mets – Willets Point Feb 01 2013 01:10 PM Re: CPF 2013 Scrabble Challenge

Did we do a Scrabble Challenge last year? I was trying to figure who who the reigning champion is but the most recent one I could find was from 2010. Supreme Champion: seawolf17 Worthy Adversary: Chad Ochoseis Maybe Next Time: John Cougar Lunchbucket 4th place: metsmarathon 5th place tie: Fman99 LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr 7th place tie: Willets Point Edgy DC 9th place tie: Ceetar Old Mole Kong76

I'd have picked Seawolf and LWFS as favorites going in and they've both been knocked into the losers' bracket by low seeds (not that one of them can't come back and win it still). Now I wait to see which giant-killer will play me in the next round.

I'm up 271-196 with 29 tiles to go, but a run of really lame draws has given Ceetar the opportunity to get back in.

Oh, I am one matchup behind in the brackets. Sorry, will remedy that tonight at home.

Tiles didn't find me for a comeback. Smg will take home the gold.

I don't remember a 3.71 mark on the outfield wall. Was that some sort of weird metric shit they were trying out one year?

441-283 is the final score. A couple of big words late put it away.
