Session Notes - May 8, 2008 Session
This session marked the twenty-seventh week of NSA Club #565's 2007-2008 season!
Since this season will be our first full season as a two-tiered club with both a Recreational and a separate Tournament Rules Division. There will be some tweaking done as the Recreational Division develops.
In the Tournament session, we were joined by 5 tournament division players who played 22 games in which we scored 7,910 points for a 359.55 points per game average. Of the 25 recorded bingos we played, one was a phoney that went unchallenged.
Roger Wiens represented our recreational division this week, winning two of his three games against tournament division players. Click here for a roster of Recreational Players
Some numbers and whatnot for this tournament session include:
- High Game - 484 points by Ed Saunders
- Low Win - 344 points by Mickey Matz
- High Loss - 362 points by Richard Spence (Opponent at 401)
- Bingo King - Ed Saunders for averaging 1.8333 bingos per game

- RECREATIONAL FIREWORKS. . . . Recreational player
Roger Wiens wasted little time establishing his crediblity Thursday evening,
opening his first game against Pat Madea with WAXIEST
for 100 points and following that up two plays later with a 101 point
play of QUOTIENT. In Roger's 2nd game, Ed Saunders
asserted himself with a 106 point play of UTILIZED
en route to a 524 point game. These were the
three highest individual plays and the highest individual game of the
session.
We featured two regular contests this week
The first regular contest was the And The Winner Takes A Bowwow Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that is the name of, or incorporates the name of within it, a breed or type of dog. This prize eluded everybody last week but Ed Saunders played PUG for 8 points and walked that doggie home for the $6.00 treat.
The second regular contest was the Go Fly A Kittiwake Contest for the highest
scoring play of a word that is, or incorporates somewhere within it, the
name of any bird. Ed Saunders played NENE (a Hawaiian
goose) for 10 pts, Richard Spence liked that so much he played NENES
for 17 pts, Karen Lundeen tried CHATS for 27 pts,
Pat Madea made 28 pts for his phoney of DOVEy, but
Mickey Matz got one MOA point than that with his
29 point play of MOAt and flew away with the $3.75
prize.
No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall
have $0.93 added to it. As of this session we have paid out $176.80 in prizes
this season. Click
