This was our 21st session of the season. We were joined by 8 players who played a total of 22 games in which we scored a total of 16,102 points for a 731.9 points-per-game average. We played 50 bingos this session. Of those bingos, 3 were phonies that went unchallenged. As of this session, we have paid out $513.06 in prizes during the 2003-2004 season; click here for the list of winners!

Nathan Benedict reigned supreme by winning all his games and averaging three bingos per game. His most impressive play of the evening; however, was a rarely-see eight way play. His 100-point bingo resulted in the following words being played on the board: ORALITY, ORE, RES, AT, IN, LI, TA, and YE. Click here to see this impressive play.

The evening's contests were in remembrance of Marcia Golombik, a longtime Tucson Scrabble player at the Villa Serenas Retirement Home, who passed away recently. The prizes were for the highest play beginning with "M" and "G," Marcia's initials. Ed Saunders won the high M play with an 89-point play of MEDICAL. The high G play was a tie between Ed and Josh Kassel, who both made 58-point plays. Ed's play was a bingo of GREASIER; Josh's was a two-way triple word play of GUMS. Josh picks up $2.50, and Ed picks up $7.50. Congrats!

This session featured a new jackpot prize: The 100+ Play jackpot for plays of 100 or more points. As mentioned before, Nathan played a 100-point bingo of ORALITY. Also in the money was Monique Kornell, who scored 116 points for a play of HORNETS. Since the jackpot was just instated, there was not a lot in it, and Nathan and Monique will split the $1.50 prize. None of the other three jackpots were won, and $1.50 shall be added to each.. Four folks scored points in the AB to YZ Bingo Jackpot by playing bingos starting with O or P. Nathan remains in 1st place, but Ed Saunders surged from behind to place second. There are still five remaining sessions to score points in this contest; keep playing bingos.
