Session Notes - 25 January 2007 Session
This session marked the twelfth of NSA Club #565's 2006-2007 season!
We were joined by 6 players who played 12 games in which we scored 9,228 points for a 769 (384.5 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 32 recorded bingos we played, 3 were phonies that went unchallenged.
Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:
- High Game - 473 points by Josh Kassel
- Low Win - 340 points by Ed Saunders
- High Loss - 408 points by Josh Kassel (Opponent at 469)
- Bingo King - Bob Whitcomb for averaging 2.2000 bingos per game
Some interesting bingos:
- DETINUE \n. An action to recover property wrongfully detained (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- ISATINE \n. A chemical compound. Variant of ISATIN (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- PARDINE \adj. Pertaining to a leopard (played by Ed Saunders)
- SCRIBING \v. Marking with a SCRIBER - a pointed instrument used for marking off material to be cut (played by Josh Kassel)
- SENNETS \n.pl. A call sounded on a trumpet signaling the entrance or exit of actors (played by Ed Saunders)
- SONATINA \n. A short sonata - a type of musical composition (played by Bob Whitcomb)
- New High Play Josh Kassel had an interesting night last night, dropping four bingos in his first game and coming back later in the evening to play SCRIBING for 158 points, the highest single play thus far at Club #565 this season. It was his first and the club's fourth triple-triple of the season. The triple-triple was played through an existing "C" and included a blank for the "G".
This was the fourth week of the "Special Letter Bingo Contest"
with "Y" being the "Special Letter"
for the week. Click
here for rules and current standings No points were scored this week
and Lewis Saul still leads by one slim point.
We also featured one repeat and two regular contests this session. The repeat
was the I Think I CAN Win This Contest for the highest scoring play of a
word containing the word "CAN" somewhere within it. Ed Saunders
made a "dogged" effort to win this contest, unleashing CANID
for 28 points. As there were no other entries, Ed dogtrots away with the
$4.00 prize.
The first regular contest was the Traveling The World Contest, awarded to
the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to any mode of transportation
anywhere in the world. We had four valid entries for this contest. Josh
Kassel submitted, "I drove across the US in a Honda ELEMENT."
for 77 points. Judith Whitcomb had two entries, "You need a VISA
to travel to most places nowadays." (36 pts) and "While crossing
the Continent in an ancient auto, I had to stop often for the purpose of
GREASING the axles." (80 pts) But Ed Saunders
had just a little higher octane (84 pts) with his entry of "The huge
TANKERS, bound for the lower 48, traveled southward
through the Gulf of Alaska with their cargoes of oil." and makes the
journey home with another $4.00 in his wallet.
The second regular contest was the That CANNOT Be a Word Contest for the
most outrageous acceptable (meaning - in the OWL) word played at club this
week. The entries:
Josh Kassel: GADI, LUV, QUEAN, ILIA, AGEE, JOTA, JARL, JUS, OOLITE, DURIAN
Lewis Saul: VELDT
Ed Saunders: PARDINE, WAW, SWIVE, SENNETS, YOD, JIAO, LATEEN, AIRTED, CANID,
OGEES
Judith Whitcomb: ZARFS, ROQUE, HINS, HAO, VAV
Bob Whitcomb: CONGEES, NORIA, FRAE, YUAN, VROUW, SONATINA, KURTA
A panel of judges from El Conquistador Country Club were shown a list of
all the words in no particular order with no definitions or information
on who might have played them. The voting (five votes each) by Amanda McConnell,
Dave McConnell, Nancy McLaughlin, and Terence Gerber resulted in a tie between
ZARFS and JIAO with three votes each. The remainder of the twenty votes
were spread out among HAO, VAV, VROUW, OOLITE, JARL, WAW, YOD, AIRTED, and
YUAN. Mike Roddy was called in to break the tie and was shown only the words
ZARFS and JIAO. Without any hesitation he said "That's easy. The second
one has too many vowels."
Ed Saunders wins the contest and yet another $4.00 with JIAO.
Thanks go out to Amanda, Dave, Nancy, Terence and Mike for their participation
in the judging.
The Triple-Triple Progressive Jackpot fell again this week as Josh Kassel
found a "C" in a convenient place and made his mark with SCRIBING
for 158 points and the club's new high play of the season. Josh sews up
a $1.12 prize for his efforts.
No one cashed in on the other Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall
have $1.12 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $160.56 in prizes
this season. Click
