Session Notes - October 4, 2009 Session
This session marked the ninth week of NASPA Club #800 (Northwest Scrabble Club)'s 2009-2010 season!
The goodies table featured the usual selection of chips, newtons, and
some salsa this week. This was supplemented by a big box of yummy doughnuts
brought in by Bob and Carol Knouse.
The tournament rules division was joined by 4 players who played 20 games
in which we scored 7,460 points for a 373.00 point-per-game average. Of
the 23 recorded bingos we played, two were phonies that went unchallenged.
Ed Saunders took top honors this week with a 6-1 +132 record.
Some numbers and whatnot for the tournament session include:
- High Game - 505 points by Richard Spence
- Low Win - 332 points by Bob Knouse

- Weekly Anagram Challenge Richard Spence provides us with our challenge this week. With a group of AEILNRST, Richard played the bingo RATLINES, which has FOUR FAIRLY uncommon anagrams. Can you come up with them? (Answer in green in "Bingos" section below.)
We featured two regular contests this week.
The first was the "IS" This Really A Contest? - Yes, It "IS"! Contest awarded to the player who turned in the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letter couplet "IS", in that order, somewhere within it. Richard Spence wanted to VISIT (23) the winner's circle but Carol Knouse decided to raise the standard with her 68 pt play of DECISION. Ed Saunders, however, decided to RERAISE the standard to 71 pts and claimed the $3.00 prize.
The second was the Compound It! Contest for the highest scoring play of a compound word. Richard Spence had the only two entries in this contest, supplanting his 82 pt NECKTIE with a 91 pt play of RATLINES to snare the $3.00 prize.
Ed's $3.00 winnings will be donated back to the club kitty.
No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and $0.75 shall be added to each of them. We have paid out $72.06 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2009-2010 season.
