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 tops of mountains are among the unfinished parts of the globe, whither it is a slight insult to the gods to climb and pry into their secrets, and try their effect on our humanity. Only daring and insolent men, perchance, go there. Simple races, as savages, do not climb mountains,—their tops are sacred and mysterious tracts never visited by them. Pomola is always angry with those who climb the summit of Ktaadn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I need not say what match I would touch, what system endeavor to blow up; but as I love my life, I would side with the light, and let the dark earth roll from under me, calling my mother and my brother to follow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
