Session Notes - January 11, 2009 Session

This session marked the twenty-third week of NSA Club #565 (Northwest)'s 2008-2009 season!

We welcomed Bob and Carol Knouse back from their Pennsylvania hiatus. We're glad they're back and they seem happy to be back in the Arizona weather.

The goodies table today featured the usual selection of chips, newtons, and chocolate. Thanks to all who provided snacks for the group.

The tournament rules division was joined by 6 players who played 34 games in which we scored 12,336 points for a 362.82 point-per-game average. Of the 30 recorded bingos we played, none was a phoney that went unchallenged.

Some numbers and whatnot for the tournament session include:

Some interesting bingos:

We featured two regular contests this week.

The first was the Wassamadda "U" Contest awarded to the player who turned in the highest scoring play of a word that pertains in some direct way to University life or schools in general. Karen Lundeen got 30 pts for her purposeful TEACH, Sarah Jacobson took the student's viewpoint with CRAM for 32, Bob Knouse went to the Administration side with PREZ for 35 and Carol Knouse wins the $4.50 prize with her athletic play of TRAINER for 63 pts.

The second was the What's "UP" With That? Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that contains both of the letters "U" and "P" somewhere within it. Carol Knouse played PUNIER for 22, Sarah Jacobson came up with a 37 pt PUP, but Bob Knouse scored 41 with EQUIPS to pull in the $4.50 prize.

No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $1.12 added to it. We have paid out $269.20 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2008-2009 season.
