As my very descriptive title shows, I’m thinking about organising a Words with Friends tournament.
For those that don’t know (and if so, where HAVE you been!?), Words with Friends is basically
Scrabble, with push notifications. From NewToy Inc, it’s available on both iPad and iPhone in both paid for and ad supported versions.
So here’s my thinking. If I can get enough interest I’ll devise a way of managing the tournament, probably using my basic knowledge of various spreadsheet apps! I’m also considering either getting a sponsor for the tournament, so we can get a prize at the end, or asking participants to donate a nominal fee to pay for an iTunes card or similar. That’s something to look into further when I’ve got some numbers.
For now, I’m just looking for some names really, so you could just post a comment at the bottom of this post if you’re interested that’d be great. Any ideas for prizes or management of the whole thing also most welcome!
Spread the word, RT, Digg, do whatever floats you boat (and follow me on Twitter for more info). Let’s see if we can get something going!
EDIT: The hashtag for this on Twitter is #WordsTourney !

I’m up for that!
I’d be up for that. To help manage you could have the contestants email the final screenshot of each game played, that way you can ensure no one tries to lie about winning when they didn’t.
Go for it Olly

Is there a dictionary of eligible words: I am puzzled as not all Scrabble words are allowed.
@leahyphoto – There are some odd things going on with some words – not sure if they are bugs etc.
