No foul or discouraging language shall be tolerated in game chat. *You may not accuse a player of cheating in game chat. Contact admin about any concerns you have. *Show sportsmanship at games end *No outside help allowed of any kind. You were given a brain. Use it. *You may not have any apps, web pages, or other WWF/Scrabble helpers or tools on any device you are using to play. *partner or team tourney, you may collaborate with your partner on all aspects of the game, including word forming. It must be collaboration. One person shall not create all of the plays by proxy. * All scores are to be posted and totalled by players, or they forfeit the right to play on. * A wwf game where players ending with same score is considered a tie. A tie is only to be replayed if a winner needs to be determined. *If a game is declined (and a bingo is not played on the first move), the initiating player shall restart another game. No other penalty will be assessed. If the declining player declines a second game, 25 points will be subtracted from their end score. *If a game is declined with a bingo played on the first move, the initiating player shall restart another game. The difference in the bingo points that would have been earned in the declined game will be added to the first turn on the restart. Example: A 50 point bingo was played, and the game was declined. On restart, if the first move is a 25 point word, 25 points will be added to the end game score to make up the point difference. A word must be played to get the penalty points, no passes or swaps. If on restart the player scores a play with a higher point value than the bingo in the declined game, no penalty points will be awarded. *If a game ends with a Pass/Swap and no tiles are left in bag, no penalties will be assessed. *If a game ends with a Pass/Swap and tiles are left in the pile. The players are encouraged to make the right descion amongst themselves. If players are unable to come to a fair agreement they may appeal to head admin of the tourney who will look into why game was ended. The admin will side with the winner of the game according to wwf unless proof of unusual circumstance can be determined. *Anyone found purposely declining games or using Pass/Swap endings to their advantage will be asked to leave tourneys and sites. *All games must be completed by deadlines. Emergency situations will be evaluated on a case by case basis. If you have an emergency delaying your play, let your opponent and admin know right away for a solution to be determined. All emergencies need to be communicated at least 24 hours before deadline. If games are moving slowly, take screen shots of slow play, so that you will not be held accountable for the incomplete games. All incomplete games will count as the score stands if reported by deadline or be will be scored as zero if unreported by deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS. If it can be shown one player is the cause of slow play through provided screenshots, the opponent will receive the average score of their other games in the round. Best practices: Take a screenshot of the final score. This helps prevent lost scores and helps clarify discrepancies in score reporting. In team tourney play, check in to team chat daily to make sure you arent missing any information that you may have overlooked on the site pages. Alert your captain to any issues you may be having. Most importantly, remember this is a game. We are playing for fun and because we love the game and challenge. Be courteous. Be smart. Have fun!
