Session Notes:

Yes, there will be club next Thursday, December 26.  Have a wonderful holiday!

Eleven players participated in this session for a night of repeats. The first repeat comes courtesy of Judith Whitcomb, whose first three games were against opponents who all scored the same 340 points agianst her. She promptly expressed her surprise by playing bingos of URINATES and URINALS. The second repeat was John Jensen playing the same bingo SUDSIER twice in the same session. The third repeat was John Jensen and Bob Whitcomb both scoring a total of 1700 points during the course of their games.  Finally, John Jensen and Karen Lundeen both played the same bingo TUNNELS. Next monsoon season, stay away from the club; lightning might strike twice.

The Whitcombs were the session's top dogs. Bob turned in a perfect 4-0 +540 score sheet to grab the top position for the night. Moreover (and helped in no small part by four bingos), Bob takes the prize for High Game of the evening with a 502-pointer. Judith grabbed the number two position and was Bingo Queen, throwing down an impressive eleven bingos in five games.

Brent Aronson wins the contest for the highest-scoring play using the CH tiles with a 30 point play of CHIEF -- way to go! Nobody played a Triple-Triple or a bingo of 9 or more letters, and $2.25 will be added to each pot for doing so.

Next session (26 December) will feature prizes for:
- Highest game (a quarter of dues collected)
- Triple-Triple plays ($10.75 plus an eighth of dues collected)
- 9+ Bingos  ($2.75 plus an eighth of dues collected)
- 4+ Vowel Dumps.  A prize will be given for the highest-scoring word that uses 4 or more vowels (e.g., AALII, SEQUOIA, ADIEU, AUDIO, LOUIE, etc.). Blanks and hooking onto previously-played words (e.g., adding E to ZOEA to form ZOEAE) count. Bone up on your vowel dumps with the Vowel Dumps guide in the DOWNLOADS section of http://www.TucsonScrabble.com (a quarter of dues collected).
