Adding/subtracting letters' value at the end of the game (Polish)

Open alkamid opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

In Polish, instead of adding the double of the opponent's rack at the end of the game, we add it to the finishing player's score and subtract it from their opponent's score, e.g.:

Player1: ZZ - +0 406 Player2: S 1L S... +21 404 Player1: ZZ (ZZ) -2 404 Player2: (ZZ) +2 406 (as described in .gcg format specification, http://www.poslfit.com/scrabble/gcg/)

instead of:

Player1: ZZ - +0 406 Player2: S 1L S... +21 404 Player2: (ZZ) +4 408

It doesn't really change the game analysis, but it would be nice if Quackle could handle this, if only for the sake of keeping our records clean.

+1. We adjust the scores the same way in Swedish Scrabble.

Maybe this should be specced as part of the tile distribution (in the alphabets files) then?

Good idea, as the alphabet files are the only human readable language-specific files.

+1 for this feature but -1 for speccing this as part of the tile distribution. The WESPA Championship 2015 was played to +x/-x instead of +2x.
