This was the 33rd session of the 2004 - 2005 Season of National Scrabble Association Club #565!
We were joined by a 8 players, who played a total of 24 games in which we scored 17,854 points for a 743.9 point-per-game average. Of the 58 recorded bingos we played, a very high percentage of then (8) were phonies that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
High Game - 517 points by Naurlene Canterman
Low Win - 325 points by Michael Rhodes
High Loss - 413 points by Rex Kremer (Opponent at 517)
Bingo Queen - Monique Kornell for averaging 2 bingos per game
Steady Does It - Michael Rhodes was the portrait of consistency for the session. In 5 games during the session, his score for all his games was within 10 points, between 321 and 331 points, with an average of 325.8.
Saved By The 4 - Ed Saunders notes that in his game against Monique, he was held down to 1 bingo but was able to do her in with ZEDS for 72 and VEXT for 64 more.
Some interesting bingos:
- COINTERS \v. Buries together (played by Ed Saunders)
- RAPINES \n pl. Acts of taking property by force (played by Joshua Kassel)
- WASTRIE \n. Reckless extravagance -- variant of WASTRY (played by Monique Kornell)
This session featured two contests. First was the John Gotti contest --a tip of the hat that the session's date marked the 13th anniversary of the daye "The Teflon Don" was sentenced to life in prison -- for the highest scoring play beginning with J and the highest scoring play beginning with G. The entrants were:
Bob Yarmchuk: JASMINE for 84 + GUAR for 30
Joshua Kassel: JET for 23 + GINGERY for 72
Monique Kornell: JO for 19 + GAE for 36
Rex Kremer: JEE for 30 + GEL for 19
Ed Saunders: JAPED for 31 + GRAPE for 16
The second contest was for High Win, which Naurlene Canterman walked away with by laying down a 517 point game. Both Bob and Naurlene take home prizes of $6.
Of the four progressive jackpots, only one was won. Naurlene Canterman won the 100+ Point Play Progressive Jackpot with a 106 point play of QUILTERS. She wins $8.79, and that jackpot rolls back to zero. The other three progressive jackpots shall each have $1.50 added to them. As of this session, we have payed out $692.79 in prizes for the 2004-2005 season. Click here for a complete list of winners.
The next session (30 June) shall feature the following contests:

- 4th of July Contest #2 - A quarter of dues collected shall be awarded to the player who turns in the "best" play of a word with a 4th of July theme (e.g., HOLIDAY, FIREWORK, SPARKLER, PARTY, etc.).
