This was the fifth session of the 2004 - 2005 Season of National Scrabble Association Club #565!
We were joined by 11 players who played a total of 28 games in which we scored 20,699 points for a 739.25 point-per-game average. Of the 66 bingos we played, 6 were phonies that went unchallenged. We also welcomed Judy Carlock to our club for the first time. Her tournament debut was the Tucson tournament earlier this month, and we hope to see her at club on a regular basis.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
High Game - 568 points by Ed Saunders (The highest game of the season)
Low Win - 315 points by Karen Lundeen
High Loss - 386 points by Bob Yarmchuk
Bingo King - Judy Carlock and Bob Yarmchuk for averaging 2 bingos-per-game
Some interesting bingos:
- ANNEALS \v. Toughens (played by Judy Carlock)
- AUTOMEN \n pl. Automobile makers (played by Robert Whitcomb)
- ENTASIA \n. A spasmodic contraction of a muscle (played by Jeremiah Ramirez)
- ERGATES \n pl. Worker ants (played by Bob Yarmchuk)

- SPINTOS n pl. Lyric and dramatic singing voices (played by Ed Saunders)
Our contests this session were for High Loss, which Bob Yarmchuk picked up with a game in which he was pigeonholed 386 to 387. At least there is a silver lining to his 1 point loss! Our second contest was the "Blank Expression" contest for the highest-scoring play that used a blank. Ed saunders picked this one up with a 92 point play of STINKERS that used a blank for the T. This session also featured the beginning of the Alphabet Bingo Contest in which all bingos starting with an "A" scored a point. Three folks scored in this contest.

Of the four progressive jackpots, two were picked up. judy Carlock, in her first session with us, nailed the $14.60 prize in the 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot by playing a 9-letter bingo of FLOUNDERS. Ed Saunders won the Club #565 Progressive Jackpot by playing a game in which he scored more than 565 points. His 568 game is the highest of the season and wins him $16.66. The other two progressive jackpots shall each have $1.87 added to them. As of this session, we have payed out $110.49 in prizes for the 2004-2005 season. Click here for a complete list of winners.
