Thank you to all the players who made the first 2022 Maliha Mendoza Mahmood Super Scrabble Club games a success! Special recognition goes to Joel and Rick who went 3 for 3 in their games and to Yuki who garnered 1,027 points for the highest average game score.

As promised, 6 prizes were up for grabs and the results are as follows:

Winner	Category	Word	Points
Lynn Gunn	Most letters from ‘SHAMROCK’	SHAKERS	98
Evelyn Davis	Containing ‘BEER’	BERLINES	78
Joel Elkins	High non-bingo	QUOTA	94
Najat Reikes	High bingo	ESCAPERS	140
Alan Stern	Low bingo*	RETURNER	64
(No winner)	Name of green vegetable**	–	–

*3 players had a low bingo score of 64 so to break the tie, the lowest average bingo score was considered for the win.
**Nobody was able to come up with a word in this category. I guess no one likes to eat green veggies

Some players may have qualified for more than one prize but in the spirit of fairness, the prizes were spread out as prudently as possible.

Below are the players’ stats.
