Session Notes - 26 July 2007 Session

With the next session on August 2nd, we begin play with our new format, incorporating a Recreational Division into the club structure. Recreational players will not be charged formal dues, but an optional $2.00 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.

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

We were joined by 2 players who played 5 games in which we scored 3,614 points for a 722.8 (361.4 ind) point-per-game average. Of the 14 recorded bingos we played, none was a phony that went unchallenged.

Some numbers and whatnot for this session include:

Some interesting bingos:

We featured two regular contests this week.

The first regular contest was the War of the Roses Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to flowers. Karen Lundeen had the only entry with "The sunflowers GREW lush and tall." (16 pts) and reaps a $1.50 reward for her gardening skills.

The second regular contest was the "Well, You Can Call Me Jay, or. . . ." Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letter "J" somewhere within it. Interestingly, the "J" came out on the opening play in four of the five games played. Karen Lundeen played JAPE & JOW for 26 points each, but Ed Saunders managed 28 points with INJURE and limps off with the $1.50 prize.

No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $0.37 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $387.36 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2006-2007 season.

The next session (2 August) shall feature the following contests:
• Recreational Contest - In honor of our club's new format, a quarter of dues collected shall be awarded to the highest scoring play of a word that pertains to recreational activities. . . .(e.g. FISHING, CONCERTS, CINEMAS, SCRABBLE, MAHJONG, WALKING, CRUISING, CYCLING, PICNICS, BIRDING, etc.) . To qualify for this contest, you need to write a sentence connecting your word to recreational activities in some manner. If you can make the connection, you might be able to relax with your winnings.
