The Nigel-meter

[jmallick]

The very short version of this post is, who is the second best Scrabble player right now? Of course, short versions such as that are better reserved for facebook or Twitter. I don't use the latter, and I use the former for other purposes, mainly to attempt eliciting something that passes as laughter. That's where old reliable live-journal comes

Interesting concept. I'd like to see the results. The only time I played the same division as Nigel was Word Cup 2012 which is not included on cross-tables. 13/24=0.54. In my only game vs Nigel I lost 457-415. I could have made it much closer if not for nervousness over playing the champ. I drew the tiles to win that game. Alas.

Two of the highest Nigel scores would belong to Nigels, methinks. :-)

My Nigel-meter is .6818181818. I'm glad your formula doesn't take into account point spread, or I might be in real trouble.

Mine was just 0.428 I think, but my excuse is it was my first Collins tournament, and all I really knew was the threes. Also I lost to Nigel by just 26 points.
