Summit Showdown 2008

The aim of this word game is to find words that fit into a specific topic and comply with either being a "High" or "Low" word. With A=1 and Z=26 every word that you come up with will score you a certain amount of points. There are 5 topics and and you have a minute to come up with an answer for each, either an answer with as many letters towards the end of the alphabet to score you most points; or a short answer with letters towards the beginning of the alphabet. After the time has run out you go through topic by topic, you decide whether you answer is unique, an answer that no-one else has chosen; then you think if your word is the highest or lowest depending on which was chosen at the beginning of the game. If you choose to move onto the "Showdown" you can then text in the number to find out your words score. You can, if your good at maths work out the number yourself. The winner of the showdown gets 20 points, if you had a correct answer but didn't go into the showdown you get 10; and if you didn't think that you had a unique answer but it was still a right answer you get 5 points. After 5 rounds, totaling 20 minutes you work out your overall score and the winner is the player with the most points.
