The following tournaments in English Scrabble have been arranged in Sweden,
all in Stockholm:
Tournament rules English tournaments in Sweden are played
with Swedish
rules, which differ somewhat from ABSP
rules and NSA rules:
- The player who is first in the game chooses between two advantages:
starting to play, or determining how to place the board, clock and tile bag. If
turnable boards are used, which has been the case for almost all matches in
English, the choice is obvious. However, in Swedish games such boards are never
used.
- If six successive zero scores are played, the game
ends automatically. Such moves are passes, exchanges and turn losses after
successful challenges.
- A player with more than five minutes overtime, loses the game
automatically. Only the loser's remaining tiles are deducted, and if the loser's
score difference after that is less than 150 lower than the winner's, the
loser's score is reduced to reach that 150 point difference.
- A player who goes out with no tiles left, increases the score by
the total value of the unplayed tiles of the opponent. The other player reduces
the score by the value of the remaining tiles.
The time for each player, however, is 25 minutes instead of 30
minutes in Swedish games.
