Low Win - 362 points by Naurlene Canterman
High Loss - 463 points by Joshua Kassel (Opponent at 466)
Bingo Queen - Naurlene Canterman for averaging 1.714 bingos per game
Deja Bingo - Apparently the investigation of Ed Saunders is ongoing. . . Both Naurlene Canterman and Joshua Kassel threw down a DOSSIER (bingo) against him.
Some interesting bingos:

This session featured two contests. the first was for Low Win, which Naurlene Canterman won with a 362 point game (362 being the low win is pretty high, considering). The second contest was teh "Trading Pays Off" contest for the highest-scoring play made the play directly following a turn in which the player exchanged tiles. Joshua Kassel took this contest, but the entries included:
Joshua Kassel - Exchanged and then played DRAFTING for 83
Ed Saunders - Exchanged and then played NEUTERS for 78
Bob Yarmchuk - Exchanged and then played TROLLERS for 61
Rex Kremer - Exchanged and then played ENJOYED for 35
Josh and Naurlene take home $5.25 prizes.
Bob Yarmchuk nailed the Triple-Triple Progressive Jackpot by laying down a 158 point play of SILENCED. This wins him $9.91, and that jackpot will zero out. The other three progressive jackpots shall each have $1.31 added to them. As of this session, we have payed out $722.20 in prizes for the 2004-2005 season. Click here for a complete list of winners.
