This is a word game players' organization run, in accordance with its bylaws, democratically by and for the players. The organization emphasizes a respectful and supportive environment that encourages every member, regardless of rating or previous tournament playing experience, to play often, play fair and have fun.

The WGPO listserv is open to all members of the tournament community and requires no official membership in the WGPO. Listserv members who would like to join the WGPO should go to our website at www.wordgameplayers.org and follow the prompts.

The rules of this listserv are simple. We encourage all members to post comments dealing with the tournament word game community. Welcome are announcements for upcoming tournaments, discussions or questions about rules, tournament travel logs or the organization of the WGPO; generally any post is acceptable if it is on topic and written respectfully.

Healthy debates are always encouraged, but please keep the tone respectful and civil.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for any personal attacks or mean-spirited arguing. Anyone who submits such a post is subject to immediate removal from the listserv.
