This was the 25th session of the 2004 - 2005 Season of National Scrabble Association Club #565!
We were joined by a light crowd of 6 players, who played a total of 17 games in which we scored 12,942 points for a 761.2 point-per-game average. Of the 50 recorded bingos we played, 3 were phonies that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
High Game - 529 points by Monique Kornell
Low Win - 360 points by Naurlene Canterman
High Loss - 380 points by Ed Saunders (Opponent at 399)
Bingo Kings - Nathan Benedict for averaging 2.2 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- DABSTERS \n pl. Bunglers (played by Ed Saunders)
- EPIGENIC \adj. Pertaining to change in the mineral character of a rock (played by Nathan Benedict)
- SUDARIA \n pl. Cloth for wiping the face (played by Monique Kornell)
This session featured two contests. The first was for high game, which Monique Kornell stole with a 529 point win, her highest game of the season. The second contest was the "TW" Contest for the highest-scoring play containing the letters T and W, played in that order. Three folks turned in the entries TWIN (9 points), FATWA (22 points) and TWIT (24 points). Nathan Benedict's entry took the prize. Nathan and monique take home $4 prizes.
This session featured the letter U in the ongoing Alphabet Bingo Contest in which all bingos starting with an "U" scored a point. Only Nathan Benedict turned in a "U" bingo, and he moves back to 1st place, with Joshua Kassel in 2nd.Click here for Alphabet Bingo standings and rules!
