two powerups are the max, please do that for the rest of the rounds so I get a feel for your level and can place you properly. Thanks!

That third token makes such a big difference.

In the league I was happy hitting 120-130 words.
Playing randoms I just went 150 & 160 back to back.

Finally at a point that I can efficiently use freeze-vision (or freeze-freeze-vision) instead of inspiration.
I think vision is understated. I use it with 15-20 seconds left and it usually gives me two words I definitely wouldn't have gotten and sometimes a stem on two to work on, and the 15 seconds is clutch as some freezes are less time.

The most common vision word for me is 'aero', at least I think that's it.

Surprised a third token would matter that much, i guess it matters a lot on boards that have tons of action. You coming back next season Icy? Looks like we going to have a lot of new players, already 7 have contacted me.

Thanks for organizing all of this btw curtains.

[IcyHotMonkey]

Yeah, thanks curtain!

I'm up for the next season. Just didn't feel like participating in the current season after a shotty player participation and not posting results. Should just be winner posts.

Love all the new players. I'll try to recruit some of my friends as well.

I think it's worth mentioning every season in the email that goes our that there's a 2 token maximum so newer players are reminded.

Cool sangaman, yeah the more the merrier.

Also I remind them before they play me in their tryout game, which everyone has so far this season. I think I'm going to make that a requirement from now on.

Also blackize, the world awaits your round 3 turn against me! And Primetimex challenge me!

Sorry, can't take screenshots so I have to hold off playing round 3s until I can make sure results are entered. My opponents have graciously taken care of this diligently so far so I'll be free to finish a few games tonight/tomorrow.

Also if anyone knows how to take a screenshot on a Samsung Vibrant, let me know. I've done it by accident and googled how to do it but it gives conflicting advice and none of it I've been able to make work anyway.

And in 3 weeks you're all going down. I'll be getting a new phone and freezes will hopefully not cost me precious seconds nearly every game and worse on occasion.

cant you just email yourself the results one by one, or isn't there a place to take notes somewhere on your phone? Anyway it doesn't matter, I guarantee you I will be entering the result no matter what, you really don't have to worry about this in Group 1, everyone here is pretty diligent and is very unlikely to forget their result

Challenge me at curtains20 just as a tryout game to figure out which section you will be placed in, although it seems clear you are pretty good Then PM me your scramble username and email address, and you will be placed in the next season that will start around August 18th or so. You should expect to play approximately 14 games in 14 days.

Someone should make a sticky somewhere but here are the league rules:
