Session Notes - 01 February 2007 Session
This session marked the thirteenth of NSA Club #565's 2006-2007 season!
We were joined by 6 players who played 15 games in which we scored 11,091 points for a 739.4 (369.7 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 37 recorded bingos we played, none were phonies that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
- High Game - 467 points by Lewis Saul
- Low Win - 367 points by Monique Kornell
- High Loss - 404 points by Bob Whitcomb (Opponent at 467)
- Bingo King - Lewis Saul and Ed Saunders for averaging 1.4000 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- ENTASIA \n. Spasmodic contraction of a muscle (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- INFIXES \v. Implants (played by Ed Saunders)
- INSTALS \v. Places in position for use. Surprising and useful variant of INSTALL (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- NANOMETER \n. One billionth of a meter (played by Lewis Saul)
- PTERINS \n.pl. A chemical compound (played by Lewis Saul)
- REGENTAL \adj. Pertaining to a REGENT- One who rules in the place of a sovereign (played by Lewis Saul)
- ROULADES \n.pl. A musical embellishment (played by Monique Kornell)
- SERIATE \v. To put into a series (played by Judith Whitcomb)
- VERITAS \n. Pl. is VERITATES - Truth (played by Monique Kornell)
- NANO Nine Play Lewis Saul took a look at his rack, EMNNOT?, and the board, where he saw an "ER" hanging unprotected right out there in the open. . . .There are three possible 9-letter bingos with that rack and the "ER". Lewis didn't choose the easy one. See the Contest section below to see what he did and didn't play.
This was the fifth week of the "Special Letter Bingo Contest"
with "Z" being the "Special Letter"
for the week. Click
here for rules and current standings No points were scored this week
and Lewis Saul maintains his one point lead.
The first regular contest was the Melodies of Life Contest, awarded to the
highest scoring play of a word that pertains to any form of music, musical
instruments, or musical venues. Monique Kornell had by far the classiest
entry for this contest with "The soprano was famous for the intricacies
of her ROULADES." (74 pts); but Ed Saunders
had the winner with "The piano player took her REQUEST
and played Misty for her." (108 pts)
The second regular contest was the Never OUT of Options Contest for the highest scoring play of a word containing the letters O, U, and T but NOT in that order. Judith Whitcomb picked up her quota of prize money this week with QUOTA for 42 pts.
Ed and Judith take home $4.00 each for their efforts.
Ed's 108 point play of REQUEST also picks up the $2.24 prize in the 100+ Play Progressive Jackpot.
Meanwhile, back to Lewis Saul's assault on the 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot
and its $17.11 prize. Of the three possible bingos he could have played,
CONTEMNER and MENTIONER
are relatively common compared to Lewis' choice - NANOMETER
(which he played at position M1 on the board for 74 points). I'd say Lewis
earned his $17.11. A nice find.
No one cashed in on the other two Progressive Jackpots this week and each
shall have $1.12 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $187.91
in prizes this season. Click
here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.
The next session (08 February) shall feature the following contests:
•Special Letter Bingo Contest - Week Six -
This week's "Special Letter" is "B"
Any Bingo beginning with the letter "B"
will earn one point. In addition, one point will be awarded for each additional
occurrence of the "Special Letter" within the word. Click

TROCHEE, FOOTNOTE, PREAMBLE, ESSAYIST, BOOKWORM, etc.). To qualify for this
