For future reference, the initials are usually of an organization, society or group of some sort (which all of the guesses this round were, but I just wanted to clarify). Also, ONE guess only, please. The "acronym" was: I. A. S. C. B. A. International Association of Scrabble Control Boards B. International Association of Sand Castle Builders C. International Association of School and College Burnouts D. Irregular Assemblage of Sutlers, Colporteurs & Bottlers E. International Association of Serrated Cardboard Boxmakers F. Imperial Arcturan Sybaritic Control Board G. International Association of Societies for Commissioning Boards H. International Association of Sugarmongers, Confectioners & Bakers Good luck to all.
