Here's how you calculate a triple-triple: Take your score for the word and multiply by 9 (3 x 3). So in your example, you word was worth 9 points x 9 = 81 points + 50 for the bingo for a total of 131 points. It's the same for a double-double (2x2 = 4). Hope that helps. Hans. Hi Anne,

I'd like to use scores in addition to wins and losses to figure the ratings. I created an Excel spreadsheet that keeps track of points for, points against, and wins and losses. What do you suggest for this new club? Thanks a bunch!! I’m trying to set up a rating system for a new Scrabble club where all (or almost all) the players have NO rating.

I just got a MAC (had window previously) and have been trying to get back on, but says my handle is already in use & every time I try to pick a new name it says it is already in use. Any thoughts? Will try Quackle, but would really like to get back on ISC too. I’ve been play 3 minute games on ISC for quite a few years under Hogan6.
