Session Notes - 10 May 2007 Session

This session marked the twenty-seventh of NSA Club #565's 2006-2007 season!

Lone Tucson representative Ed Saunders enjoyed the company of visiting players Matt Breden (Hampton, Virginia) and Sarah Jacobson (Sherman Oaks, California). Despite the paucity of players, some good Scrabble was played and a good time was had by all.

We were joined by 3 players who played 8 games in which we scored 5,935 points for a 741.875 (370.9375 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 22 recorded bingos we played, none was a phony that went unchallenged.

Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:

Some interesting bingos:

This was the nineteenth week of the "Special Letter Bingo Contest" with "K" being the "Special Letter" for the week. Click here for rules and current standings No points were scored this week. Ed Saunders holds a substantial lead with 7 weeks to go.

We featured two regular contests this week.

The first regular contest was the Golden Spike Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to connections or joinings of any sort. Visiting player Matt Breden had the only two entries for this contest with ENGRAFT for 94 points and MORTISE.

The second regular contest was the "O,U" Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that has either of the letter combos "OU" or "UO" somewhere within it. Matt Breden submitted LOUSIER for 68 points, but Ed Saunders triple-hooked SOURING onto the board for 74 points and the win.

Both Matt and Ed take home $0.25 prizes for their efforts.
