Texting Competition

CDPL held its first Teen and Adult Texting Competition on Tuesday, October 30th. The contestants battled to out-text one another in  two sections of the contest. At first, contestants were graded on how quickly they could type a full sentence without any mistakes. In the second part of the contest, contestants were encouraged to text naturally and were allowed to shorten phrases by abbreviation and drop punctuation marks. The three fastest texters in each age group won gift cards and then tested their skills against each other in the final round.
