Summit Scoring System
The Summit scoring system assigns each letter a score based on its position in the alphabet. For example, the letter A is worth 1 point, B is worth 2, C worth 3, right down to Z which is worth 26. Other characters (such as punctuation and numerals) are ignored. So the band ABBA scores 6 points, whereas the band ZZ Top scores 103.
This scoring system is used in the family game Showdown (game), also developed by Winning Moves UK.
