(August 11, 2019) 11 Tile-Slingers this Sunday afternoon in Asheville! Kurt opened one of his games with TINIEST (66) and found 3 other bingoes as well, no doubt helping with his mid-afternoon win.
Trish started right off with a win, found PREMISE for 81, and had some really high non-bingo plays like IBEX (50) and ZORI (63.) Another big 425 win came later in the day. Mike L. won his first game, and played FAINTER, TINNERS, TINDERS, and REMAINED, and also had the highest non-bingo play of the day with ZEN for 72! Don’t try to add an S!
Leslie won half her games, kicking off with a big 432 win, and playing 4 bingoes. Donna also was 2-2, played 6 bingoes, the most interesting to me being DUNGAREE which of course takes the S but also a D for the adjective. (No -ING form.)
Jacob had a winning record, starting the afternoon with the high loss of the day at 414, but finishing with a huge 470 game. Of his 7 bingoes, HORNIEST was a triple-triple for 140 points! Aaron also had a winning record, made 5 bingoes, scoring over 400 with one of those three wins. I only lost once today and had 2 games over 400. Of my 6 bingoes, SOUTHING (80) was the most unusual. D also only lost once, played LATRINES and UTERINE plus QUOD for 52.
Undefeated? Mark was 4-0, with 7 bingoes, and the highest scoring game of 488. Impressive, Mark!
So remember to cinch up those tile bags at the end of the day, turn off the clocks with off switches, find individual slots for those boards so they don’t rub against each other, and many thanks for helping us set up and take down for club each week! See some of you next Sunday! Still time to sign up for the Labor Day weekend tournament in Charlotte!
