Larry set a new club record last week, scoring 136 for the highest
non-bingo. The long-standing (8.5 years) record of 109 had been recently
broken when Judy C. made a 111-point play in late July. Here is Joel's
description of how the play was made: After Larry played WeBSITE at K3 to
take a sizable lead, I played EMeRGE at 4I to set up a couple spots. He
played ANI at 3M to try to block. I drew an S, but couldn't use the spot
very well, so I played HOP at 2M to set up my S. He then played EPISODIC
at O1 for 136 (through PI).
At the recent 19-game tourney in San Francisco, CA, there was one
open division of 130 players. Brad placed 8th, and in the lower half
were Judy C. and Betsey. Judy reported it was one of the most fun
tourneys she has ever attended, since there were lots of activities,
as well as the San Francisco waterfront just outside the hotel door.
