Session Notes - January 6, 2008 Session
This session marked the twenty-second of NSA Club #565 (Northwest)'s 2007-2008 season!
We'd like to thank club member Ed Saunders for contributing to the goodie table this week.
Margaret Miller, Elinor Horner, and Anita Almond comprised our recreational division this week. Three games were played with each winning one.
The tournament rules division was joined by 3 players who played 12 games in which we scored 4,342 points for a 361.833 point-per-game average. Of the 17 recorded bingos we played, three were phoneys that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for the tournament session include:
- High Game - 462 points by Ed Saunders
- Low Win - 367 points by Ed Saunders
- High Loss - 343 points by Ed Saunders (Opponent at 382)
- Bingo King - Ed Saunders for averaging 2.0000 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- GARDENIA \n. a tropical shrub or tree (played by Ed Saunders)
- GOLDENER \adj. of the color of gold (played by Judy Carlock)
- OLEFINE \n. OLEFIN - an ALKENE - a type of chemical compound (played by Ed Saunders)
- PETRELS \n. a small seabird (played by Ed Saunders)
- QUEASIER \adj. easily nauseated (played by Janis Clem)
- WEASONS \n/pl. WEASAND - the throat (played by Ed Saunders)
- Weekly Anagram Challenge Ed Saunders gives us our challenge again this week. From a rack of AEINRST (which can form 9 different 7-letter and 69 different 8-letter bingos), Ed found an open "S" and played the bingo STAINERS, one of THREE eight-letter bingos in that group. Can you come up with the other two? (Answers in "Bingos" section below.)
We featured two regular contests this week.
The first contest was The Should Auld Acquaintance Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that is the name of, or designation for, someone with whom you might be acquainted. Janis Clem submitted AUNT for 23, Judy Carlock upped the ante with AMIGO for 42, but Ed Saunders made sweet music with his friend the ORGANIST for 70 pts and the $2.25 in the tip jar.
The second contest was the "Q" Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letter "Q" somewhere within it. Janis Clem picked up $2.25 with her 68 point play of QUEASIER.
Ed's winnings are donated back to the club kitty.
