Session Notes - September 2, 2007 Session
The Northwest Club will continue to meet at the Highlands Community Clubhouse through September 16th.
This session marked the fifth of NSA Club #565 (Northwest)'s 2007-2008 season!
The tournament rules division was joined by 4 players who played 18 games in which we scored 7,010 points for a 389.44 point-per-game average. Of the 29 recorded bingos we played, three were phonies that went unchallenged.
Our recreational division included three players this week with Dee Keys, Elinor Horner and Isabel Keranen getting together for some leisurely games. This group reported one bingo (see "Bingos" below) this week (although I saw at least one more - EXCISES - on their board at one point).
Some numbers and whatnot for the tournament session include:
- High Game - 525 points by Richard Spence
- Low Win - 375 points by Judy Carlock
- High Loss - 369 points by Ed Saunders (Opponent at 413)
- Bingo King - Ed Saunders for averaging 2.8000 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- ERASIONS \n/pl. erasures - the act of erasing (played by Ed Saunders)
- EVICTORS \n/pl. one who evicts - expels by legal process (played by Karen Lundeen)
- INSOFAR \adj. to such an extent (played by Judy Carlock)
- INSULIN \n. a hormone (played by Richard Spence)
- OLEFINE \n. an alkene - a type of chemical compound - variant of OLEFIN (played by both Ed Saunders and Richard Spence)
- PANTILES \n/pl. roofing tiles (played by Ed Saunders)
- RATANIES \n/pl. South American shrubs - variant of RHATANY (played by Richard Spence)
- SAUTOIRE \n. a saltire - a heraldic design - variant of SAUTOIR (played by Richard Spence)
- SEINERS \n/pl. those who seine - catch fish with a large, vertically hanging net (played by Ed Saunders)
- TSARINA \n. the wife of a tsar - variant of CZARINA (played by Richard Spence)
- Down To The Wire In the game between Richard
Spence and Ed Saunders, Ed had a slim 292-291 lead with seven tiles left
in the bag. Ed, with a rack of EINRTU?, took advantage of a "G"
in the middle of the bottom row to play REfUTING
for 77 pts and drew the last 7 tiles. Richard needed to bingo out to win,
but neither of the two seven-letter bingos in his rack of AAEINST (ENTASIA,
TAENIAS) would play on the board. Finding an open "R" in the
top row, he came up with RATANIES for 70 pts
and gained 52 more from Ed's closing rack of
FIKQRSV to pull out a 413-369 victory.
We featured one repeat and two regular contests this week.
The repeat contest was the Not Your us"UAL" Contest for the highest
scoring play of a word that contains the triplet U-A-L consecutively in
some order within it. $2.25 awaited a winner. Richard Spence came up with
FAULTED for 22 pts, but Judy Carlock trotted out
FLAUNTER for 62 pts and the win.
The first regular contest was the Labor Day Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to some of the many ways Americans choose to celebrate Labor Day. Ed Saunders had the only entry in this contest with "Weather permitting on Labor Day, Uncle John always took the kids out on the BAY in the speedboat." 29 pts Ed zips off through the waves with his $3.00 in hand.
The second was the Suffixes Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that ends with one of the suffixes ED, ER, IC, ING, or AL. Judy Carlock had FLAUNTER for 62, Richard Spence played ACQUIRED for 72, but Ed Saunders wins it with UNEROTIC for 83 and the $3.00 prize.
