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.

Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or system:
“The light that shined upon the summit now seems almost to shine at our feet.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
