Since July 2020, Scrabble Victoria has provided its members with
online options when it comes to playing Scrabble; originally set up to
assist members through the restrictions on in person events due to
COVID-19, online options are now an established part of our offering.
What we use for play
Our events are run using licensed apps - for untimed and "sit and go"
matches, we use the Scrabble Go app (available on phones and tablets).
The app is free to use and can be played in two modes (Modern and
Classic). A monthly in-app fee can be paid to remove ads from the app,
which will assist when used for the events we run.
There are two types of game play we use - "sit and go" and those
completed in one sitting, eg as used in our "Saturday Online" events.
In May 2022, we started using the PlayScrabble website
(playscrabble.com) which is an officially licensed platform developed
by the same organization as Scrabble Go.
Sit and Go
Sit and Go matches, as the name suggests, are designed for people who
play on the go; there is no urgency to play your move. A game may take
several days. As long as games are completed within the allocated time
(usually two weeks), that is what is required.
Fortnightly round robin events are run through a Facebook group that
has been set up for our members (Victorian Online Scrabble League).
Saturday Online and Tablet events
Saturday Online events run once a month (usually on Saturday
afternoons) and have been set up to match the face-to-face experience
as much as possible.
Each afternoon event consists of five games and usually commences
around 1pm with games completed by around 5.30pm at the latest.
These events are run using the Scrabble Go app.
Tablet events started in May 2022, with the inaugural one held in
Doncaster. These events are run to a similar format as our Saturday
Online events and will use either Scrabble Go or PlayScrabble.
Both styles of events allow players to have their own official online
rating, from a system set up by Barry Harridge.
Rules for these events are found here .
How to get on board
The news about what is coming up and what has happened can be seen on
the Victorian Online Scrabble League (VOSL) , a private group on Facebook .
Entry to these events are free for Scrabble Victoria members, and
available to non-members at a cost of $20pa. If you are interested in
taking part, contact Nick Ivanovski via email at nicksfbemail@gmail.com

Scrabble Victoria Online Ratings
CURRENT ONLINE RATINGS
Latest Event: Saturday Online, 20 April 2024
Players appear on our official ratings list if they are current Scrabble Victoria members (or equivalent State Association) and have played an online event within the last 12 months.
Players who do not meet these criteria, and have played our online events previously, still have ratings maintained but will appear on this list once they play another online event and their membership is current.
First time participants in our online events will either get a provisional rating (if they have never played any officially rated events previously) or, if they have played an in-person event previously, will have an initial online rating derived from their in-person official rating.
