+ Session NotesThis was session #40 of the 2003-2004 season. We welcomed two new players: Neil Atchley and Marisa Bell, who read about us in The Tucson Weekly and decided to drop in. We also had an appearance by visiting Phoenix player Con Downey and saw the return of Jeannette Kaufman, who joined us for the first time this season. We played a total of 41 games in which we scored a total of 28,684 points for a 699.6 points-per-game average. We played 70 bingos this session. Of those bingos, only two were phonies that went unchallenged. As of this session, we have paid out $951.59 in prizes for the 2003-2004 season; click here for the list of winners! Some numbers and other oddness for the session include: Nathan Benedict was top player for a second week with a perfect 5-0 scorecard. The session's contests were the "High 4" Contest and the RE-play Contest. The High 4 contest was for the highest play made using any 4 tiles. This was picked up by Lewis Saul for playing the word QUAIL by using two blanks, a Q, and a U and playing them through an existing I tile for 66 points. The "RE-play" Contest was for the highest-scoring play of a word that begins with RE and can stand alone as a playable word without the RE. This contest goes to Naurlene Canterman for a 73-point bingo of RESERVE. Both Lewis and naurlene take home prizes of $9.00. One of the four progressive prizes was won by Monique kornell.
Her bingo YULETIDES scored her 89 points; since it
used nine letters, it won her the 9+ Bingo Jackpot of $3.93.
The Triple-Triple Jackpot and the 100+ Play Jackpot will each
have $2.25 added to them. Finally, we are going to eliminate
one of the jackpot prizes and replace it with a new one. The
600 Game Jackpot has been won only once since its inception,
and rational thinking says it might be a good idea to lower
the bar a bit on it. We are going to take the balance of that
jackpot and roll it into a new one: The Club #565
Jackpot for any game of 565 points or more. + Bingos by PlayerBelow are the bingos played during the 19 August 2004 session at National Scrabble Association Club #565. Phony bingos are listed in red lower case. Neil Atchley - 1 Bingo |
