SCRABBLE TIMERS
Sand timers are less accurate than
digital timers and therefore not suitable for high level tournament scrabble,
but with an average variation of only around 5 seconds either side of the three
minute mark, a three minute sand timer is ideal for family ganes and most club
scrabble. Digital timers (when they are available) are preferred to sand timers
in the official rules, but with a price tag of around $100 the cost can be
prohibitive, and many clubs stick to three minute sand timers for their
tournaments.
CROSSBOW EDUCATION in the UK provide high
quality three minute sand timers at a fraction of the price
of digital timers, and will ship to the USA at a very reasonable cost. 10 three
minute sand timers, ideal for
scrabble, will cost around $25.00 including shipping to USA. They can also be
bought singly
