The regular rules of Scrabble are followed, but each game has a
30-minute time limit. Teams of up to four players, collaborating to
create a word from the same letter tray, compete in a round-robin format
for three rounds. A table with one Scrabble board seats two four-player
teams and an official timekeeper. The team that scores the highest
number of points is the champion for their division.

Players are asked to obtain pledges to sponsor their participation in
the tournament (similar to a bike-a-thon or walk-a-thon). The suggested
minimum for a team to participate is $60.00, or $15.00 per participant.
There are prizes for the players who raise the most money for Literacy
Volunteers. We also have refreshments, raffles, and wonderful door
prizes. Teams who raise $200 or more receive free Scrabble Fest
t-shirts.
Top
fund raisers are awarded special prizes such as an original painting by
a local artist, as well as other wonderful prizes donated by local
businesses and individuals. Top fundraisers for the event receive prizes.
