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:
“What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
And there assume some other horrible form
Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
And draw you into madness?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
