British Scrabble body bans player

China Daily | Updated: 2017-11-22 06:54

LONDON - The Association of British Scrabble players banned one of its star players for three years after an independent investigation concluded that he had broken rules in the popular word game.

Allan Simmons has authored books on Scrabble and contributed game coverage to The Times newspaper, which first reported his ban from competition. The London-based newspaper says it will no longer use him as a contributor.

A committee member for the association, Elie Dangoor, said on Nov 13 that three independent witnesses saw Simmons put a hand with freshly drawn letter tiles back into a bag to draw more tiles - contrary to the rules.
