CoCo Blog
Check back every Monday for a new post featuring event coverage, tips on how to improve your Scrabble play, and the latest news from the CoCo’s club and tournament directors.
Unveiling the CoCo's social media presence
Today, we’d like to go over our plans for social media marketing. We've spent the last few weeks researching best practices from a few different angles, and we believe we have a strategy that will help unify the Scrabble community today and attract a new generation of players tomorrow.
Introducing the CoCo's new rating system
In the interest of transparency, we're trying to share every single detail we can about how we're building our organization. Even the boring mathy ones. So today, let's talk about calculating ratings.
Building our organizational framework
In the days since we launched the CoCo, players have clamored for information about just about every aspect of the organization, and that’s a good thing. We have been tracking your comments and are working hard to catalog and respond to them in an organized way - all while working on other aspects of the CoCo that will be crucial to its success.
A word about inclusivity
The entire reason the CoCo exists is to give the people of this community the power to shape the game's future. If this effort is going to be successful, it's going to need support from everyone - and I very much hope that you will be one of them. Yes - you.
Get involved with the CoCo! Yes, you!
What we really want is to take this small group, build upon it, and turn it into a serious movement to advance the cause of North American Scrabble. That's an ambitious goal, I know - but it can be done. We just need a little help from you.
On the importance of being international
You know that Scrabble community that's so amazing? Turns out, it extends far beyond North America. If you're like me, and you feel truly at home among Scrabblers, then I've got good news for you: There's a whole wide world of them.
Why we founded the CoCo
The sad truth is that tournament Scrabble in North America is on the decline. As I see it, we as a community have two options - we can sit back and let the game atrophy until it eventually dies out, or we can do something. Now.
