Session Notes - August 23, 2009 Session
This session marked the fourth week of NASPA Club #800 (Northwest Scrabble Club)'s 2009-2010 season!
The goodies table today featured the usual selection of chips and newtons
this week.
The tournament rules division was joined by 5 players who played 26 games
in which we scored 10,138 points for a 389.9231 point-per-game average.
Of the 36 recorded bingos we played, two were phonies that went unchallenged.
Richard Spence was this week's big winner, going 6-1 + 581 with 14 bingos and a new personal high game thus far this season, a 573 point game.
Some numbers and whatnot for the tournament session include:
- High Game - 575 points by Ed Saunders
- Low Win - 372 points by Carol Knouse
- High Loss - 421 points by Ed Saunders (Opponent at 477)
- Bingo King - Richard Spence and Ed Saunders for averaging 2.0000 bingos per game
- New Personal High Games of 2009-2010 Season - Sarah Jacobson 407, Richard Spence 573
- New Personal High Plays of 2009-2010 Season - Sarah Jacobson PASTING 86, Bob Knouse PLUCKIER 113, Carol Knouse SLITTER 81, Richard Spence ZEROING 92
Some interesting bingos:
- ANSERINE \adj. of or pertaining to the subfamily Anserinae, of the family Anatidae, comprising the true geese (played by Ed Saunders)
- APERIENT \n. a mild laxative (played by Richard Spence)
- DIOXINS \n/pl. a toxic solid hydrocarbon (played by Ed Saunders)
- ELOIGNS \v. to remove to a distant place (played by Richard Spence)
- IDEATION \n. the act of IDEATING - to form an idea (played by Richard Spence)
- PURTIER \adj. pretty (played by Richard Spence)
- SIDEREAL \adj. pertaining to the stars (played by Ed Saunders)
- TORULAS \n/pl. a type of fungus (played by Ed Saunders)
- URANITE \n. a mineral (played by Richard Spence)
- ZINGARE \n/pl. ZINGARA - a female gypsy (played by Ed Saunders)
- Weekly Anagram Challenge Richard Spence provides us with our challenge this week. With a rack of AEIRSTT Richard played the bingo ARTISTE, which has SIX useful anagrams (there are five different positions for the "S" tile included among these seven words). Can you come up with them? (Answer in green in "Bingos" section below.)
- So, If You've Got An Idea, Run With It. . . . Richard Spence had an idea. . . .on his rack. . . .three separate times this session, he had an idea on his rack. . . . So he played IDEATES in his first game, then he played IDEATIONS in his third game, then he played IDEATION in game four. I'd say that probably was a good idea. . . .
- Sometimes It's Good To Share With Your Friends. . . . Richard Spence and Ed Saunders had the unusual good fortune (?) to split two of the Progressive Jackpots this week. Ed Saunders opened his session with a 575 pt game to qualify for the Historic Club 565 Progressive Jackpot and in the next game, Richard Spence came up with a 573 pt game to claim a share of the $0.93 that was in that pot this week. Then, in game three, Richard (with a rack of ANOST??) found an open "ID" on the board and extended that to IDEATIONS to score 74 pts and qualify for the 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot. Moments later, in his third game of the night as well, Ed Saunders wove his rack of AAEISS? through a separated "L" and "V" to form SALIVAtES for 76 pts and a share of the $4.84 Jackpot.
We featured two regular contests this week.
The first was the "W" Contest awarded to the player who turned in the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letter "W" somewhere within it. Carol Knouse gave it a shot with AWE for 26 pts, Sarah Jacobson thought she wud take it with 30 pts for WUD, Bob Knouse had a different view of the situation with his 42 pt VIEW, Ed Saunders thought he'd wax the competition with his 46 pt play of WAX, but Richard Spence rode his 49 pt play of JOW/WAGED to the $3.75 prize.
The second was the This One's For The Birds Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that is the name of, or incorporates the name of somewhere within it, a bird of some kind. Richard Spence thought he'd duck out the door with his 22 pt play of DUCK, Carol Knouse clucked at that, playing HEN for 29 pts, but Ed Saunders cooked both of their geese with a 68 pt play of ANSERINE (the true geese) and flew away with the $3.75 prize.
As described above, Ed Saunders and Richard Spence racked up games of 575 and 573 respectively to split the $0.93 in the Historic Club # 565 Progressive Jackpot. Ed picks up $0.47 (and the extra penny) due to his advancing age and the accompanying limited future earnings potential. Young Richard scores a $0.46 payday.
Also described above, Richard and Ed split the $4.84 in the 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot with Richard's IDEATIONS and Ed's SALIVATES. Each walks away with $2.42.
In the meantime, Bob Knouse was launching a solo attack on the 100+ Play Progressive Jackpot, scoring 113 pts with his Triple Word play of PLUCKIER and laying claim to his own personal payoff of $2.42
Ed's $6.64 winnings will be donated back to the club kitty.
No one cashed in on the Triple-Triple Progressive Jackpot this week and $0.93 shall be added to it, taking that Jackpot up to $41.26 for next session. We have paid out $44.13 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2009-2010 season.
