Session Notes - 04 January 2007 Session
This session marked the ninth of NSA Club #565's 2006-2007 season!
We were happy to see old friend and Honorary Member Yvonne Knickerbocker make her way into the room for this session.
We were joined by 7 players who played 16 games in which we scored 12,034 points for a 752.125 (376.0625 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 38 recorded bingos we played, 2 were phonies that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
- High Game - 492 points by Ed Saunders
- Low Win - 344 points by Josh Kassel
- High Loss - 410 points by Lewis Saul (Opponent at 443)
- Bingo King - Ed Saunders for averaging 2.0000 bingos per game
- What're the Odds? - Josh Kassel was cursing his luck when he pulled out the "Y" tile while drawing for first against Lewis Saul, who promptly reached in the bag and pulled out the "Z". A 1.0101% chance, that's what the odds are. . . .
- Three Play Sequence - Ed Saunders was sitting with a rack of AAEINTX after an opening exchange of tiles and sloughing off an OU for eight points on his second turn. Lewis Saul plopped down AFOOT at position G4, front-hooking IVY with the " T ". Never having played the word before, it took Ed a few seconds to recognize the bingo available at position 5C through the " F " in AFOOT. ANTEFIXA went down on the board for 86 points. Lewis held it for a couple of seconds before letting it go and dropping JAEGERS at position 11E for a D/D and a 112 point comeback. Having drawn the almost inevitable brace of " Is " that immediately follow a bingo, Ed was almost ecstatic to find HILI (not a word usually associated with ecstacy. . . .) and laid it down at position K3, forming ANTEFIXAL and going two ways on a DWS for 52 points. After that short, three play, 250 point sequence, the rest of the game was almost anticlimactic. . . .
Some interesting bingos:
- ANTEFIXA \n.pl. A plural of ANTEFIX - an upright ornament at the eaves of a tiled roof (played by Ed Saunders)
- ENOLASE \n. An enzyme(played by Lewis Saul)
- JAEGERS \n.pl. A hunter (played by Lewis Saul)
- NARGILE \n. A hookah - a water pipe, a variant of NARGHILE (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- NUTRIAS \n.pl. The coypu - an aquatic rodent (played by Lewis Saul)
- RESIDUA \n.pl. A plural of RESIDUUM - residue (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- TISANES \n.pl. A tea of herbs or barley, a variant of PTISAN (played by Judith Whitcomb)
- TORSADE \n. A twisted cord (played by Ed Saunders)
- TRYSTED \v. Agreed to meet (played by Yvonne Knickerbocker)
This was the first week of the "Special Letter Bingo Contest"
with "G" being the "Special Letter"
for the week. Click
here for rules and current standings Ed Saunders opened the scoring
with a one point bingo of GOPHERS.
We also featured two regular contests this session. The first was the Currency
Contest for the highest scoring play of an accepted form of currency, present
or past, local or foreign. Surprisingly, we had only one entry for this
contest. Lewis Saul hooked his bingo NUTRIAS on the end of AVO to form AVOS
(AVO - the 100th part of a PATACA - a monetary unit of Macao) for 73 points
and the win.
The second was the Low Powered Contest, awarded to the highest scoring play
of a word that contains no letters whose tiles are worth more than one point.
This contest had three entries. Josh Kassel (NOT from Pittsburgh) tossed
in the phony steelers* for 72 points; Lewis Saul
(who IS from Pittsburgh) played the aforementioned NUTRIAS for 73 points;
and Judith Whitcomb (NOT from Pittsburgh) wins it with TISANES
for 76 points.
Lewis and Judith both take home $5.25 .
Lewis Saul walked off with the 100+ Play Progressive Jackpot with his 112
point play of JAEGERS and earned himself $2.24 (or two cents for every point).
No one cashed in on any of the other Progressive Jackpots this week and
each shall have $1.31 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $136.22
in prizes this season. Click
here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.
The next session (11 January) shall feature the following contests:
•Special Letter Bingo Contest - Week Two -
This week's "Special Letter" is "I".
Any Bingo beginning with the letter "I"
will earn one point. In addition, one point will be awarded for each additional
occurrence of the "Special Letter" within the word. Click

•Equal Rights Contest - On January 11, 1885,

to the player who turns in the highest scoring play of a word pertaining
to any Equal Rights or the pursuit thereof (e.g.
ELECTED, BUSSING, BRALESS, BOYCOTT, SUFFRAGE, EQUALITY, etc.). To qualify
