Session Notes - August 23, 2007 Session
This session marked the fortieth of NSA Club #565's 2006-2007 season!
With the August 2nd session, we began play with our new format, incorporating a Recreational Division into the club structure. Recreational players will not be charged formal dues, but a $2.00 optional prize fee will be charged to those who choose to enter the weekly contests (Recreational and Tournament Contests will be separate and will vary). Tournament Rules Division players will continue to be charged $3.00 weekly dues to cover club expenses and fund weekly prizes as in the past.
We were joined by 3 tournament players who played 10 games. Of the 13 recorded
bingos we played, two were phonies that went unchallenged.
Phyllis Spence was our lone recreational player at this session.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
- High Game - 505 points by Ed Saunders
- Low Win - 421 points by Richard Spence
- High Loss - 378 points by Richard Spence (Opponent at 453)
- Bingo King - Richard Spence for averaging 2.0000 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- ADENINES \n/pl. an alkaloid (played by Richard Spence)
- INERTIAL \adj. pertaining to INERTIA - the tendency of a body to resist acceleration (played by Richard Spence)
- MINDSET \n. a fixed mental attitude (played by Ed Saunders)
- NAIVETE \n. the quality of being naive (played by Richard Spence)
- SINUATE \v. to curve in and out (played by Richard Spence)

- Statistical Oddity Richard Spence notes that of the eight bingos he played, the last five chronologically, ADENINES, NAIVETE, RETAXING, ARIDEST, and SINUATE, were each worth exactly 70 points.
We featured one repeat and two regular contests this week.
The repeat was the Pilgrim's Pride Contest for the highest scoring play
of a word that pertains to the life and times of the early American Settlers.
This contest had no entries this week and will run again next week with
$2.25 awaiting a winning entry.
The first regular contest was the "Damn The Torpedoes" Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to naval warfare. Ed Saunders had the lone entry and sails off with the $2.25 prize with "The warship fired a warning shot across the BOW before approaching the Galleon" 31 pts
The second regular contest was the Double "L" Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that contains the couplet "LL" somewhere within it. Richard Spence submitted ALL (17 pts) and that was ALL it took to walk off with the $2.25 for this contest.
No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $0.56 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $407.38 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.
