Previously in a posting on this message board by "anonymike" some time ago, he said, "...if a trip is blocked or something, then you can cancel"[the game], in reference to expert games. Is there a DIFFERENT set of rules for expert games and regular games? In other words, why is it that the "experts" do NOT have to continue with a game that is not going too well or with one that has been messed up with wasted "esses" and blown trips? (They can and do cancel them.) I failed to find this distinction in the rules, whereby the experts are allowed to cancel a poor game and not waste their time playing a messed up game, and yet in the regular games a game simply must be played out even if it has a lousy start, i.e., the esses are all gone by the 7th or 8th word played and the trips are all used up with low scoring words.
So, ARE there TWO SETS of Rules? If so, where might they be posted so that I and my friends can familiarize ourselves with the different versions. Thanking you in advance for the clarification. |
