How to play Scattergories

 

- At the beginning of each round I will pick a letter.

 

- With that letter comes a set of 5 categories. Each category could be about anything, from Steamgamers to potted plants, whatever.

 

- After the letter and categories are posted, each player has the announced time limit (most likely will be a full day) to answer the 5 categories. Each answer must start with the letter provided.

 

- There will be a google docs form provided for each round.

 

- Example Form: http://goo.gl/forms/IsncThq10x

 

- After the time limit ends (I will be checking timestamps) I will begin scoring the entries. Scoring is explained in the following section.

 

- After scoring the answers, I will post the results in the thread and update the OP (original post). The next round will begin within the next couple days after that. There will be a total of three rounds. The winners will be the 3 highest point totals.

Scoring

 

- Each unique answer (meaning no one else has the same answer) will receive 4 points

 

- In the event that there is more than one unique answer (meaning 3 people each have a unique answer that no one else has) each person will receive 2 points

 

- In the event that there are no unique answers, the answer with the next lowest common answers will each receive 1 point (must have no unique answers)

 

- Further examples on scoring will be provided in my full example game below.

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

Example round:

 

The Letter is A and the category is Name a Fruit

 

EX: 3 people have Apple and 1 person has Apricot.

 

- Scoring would be the person with Apricot would receive 4 points due to being the only unique answer.

 

EX: 3 people have Apple, 1 person has Apricot, and 1 person has Avocado

 

- Scoring would be the person with Apricot and the person with Avocado would each receive 2 points due to both being unique answers.

 

EX: 3 people have Apple and 2 people have Apricot

 

- Scoring would be the 2 people who have Apricot would each receive 1 point each due to no unique answers but still being the lowest common answer.

Had a few entries where people didn't read the rules first.

 

 

If those people would like, they can go ahead and send in a new Entry and i will have the wrong one deleted. (Only doing this as this is the first trial run.)
