[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

They are using their banked book.

[Logan]

It's a book from our bank.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Oh! Well, you know why I was confused. Plus, I forgot they have two banked books. LOL! Sorry.

[Logan]

Sorry I probably could have made that more clear.

In the confusion of getting home from work in time, posting a word in time and my parents hanging over my shoulder, I copied and pasted the wrong banked book. Can I switch it or is it too late? It's OK if it is too late.

It is alright to switch, T. You have until tomorrow MN to decide.

I'm taking a break, you all. The questions have died down for now.

The other Mods will continue working diligently on the points spreadsheet. I'm going to veg in front of the T.V. for a few hours. We'll get the final points up later tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Logan wrote: "Total: 44 points (unless my math is off)"

Logan, premium squares may only be counted once. However, we did total up all the words you spelled. Excellent job for not landing on a 3XWS. I think your total points will be 35, but I want to have another Mod review it and also look at it myself with "fresh" eyes in the morning.

[Logan]

Okay. And my math was wrong anyway - the OX play didn't count the O point. So removing the extra double letter scores would be 21 points for the main word, plus 2 for AT, 9 for OX, and 4 for BI. Total is 36.

Yes, Logan, 36 points.

Points for TOXIN:

T = 1 (x2LS) = 2

O = 1

X = 8 (x2LS) = 16

I = 1

N = 1

Total for first word = 21


AT = 2

OX = 9

BI = 4

Total for Hooking = 15

GRAND TOTAL = 36 points

Your Weekly Tiles on Your Rack, Week #3 has been updated in your secret groups.

Please note that per that crazy new rule (view spoiler)[ Post #124 (hide spoiler)], you’ll see limegreen “conditional” tiles along side your “banked” books. While you may do whatever applies to “banked” books, these limegreen tiles go away, if you don't use them with their assigned books.

We have also changed the terminology “carry over” to “cupcaked” and put them in the post, too. Note, they are the same color as your rack tiles and work the same way.

Because of all the confusion, hassle, and frustration of this new crazy rule, we are awarding each Team three cupcakes.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

To see Week #2 breakdown of points click on the image below to get to the Scrabble Points Posted Spreadsheet. Please let us know if you have any questions or see any errors.

REGARDING “BANKED” BOOK:

• An unused book read by a member may be “banked” for any tile that a
    Team acquires in a future week - in addition to the crazy new rule.



Your cumulative totals are off to the far right.

[Dancing Queen, Special Projects: Team Challenges]

Thanks, Becky ♡The Bookworm♡, for using the terms “cupcaked,” & “cupcaking.” LOL! We are going with it.
