Players in the top ten are listed only at the top of this sheet,
since there is not enough room to also include them in the full list.
(over for the news)
There were 25 players in attendance when we last met on November 20, 2008.
We welcome Rebecca Lambert to our club for her first visit last week. She is
an established NSA player with a rating hovering around 1600, who recently
moved to the Boston area. She has played in 39 tourneys since May, 2007.
Congratulations to Wayne for having the high-above-average game last
week, in which he scored 490, 42.8% above his average. Wayne also had the
high-above-average with a score of 490 when he lost to Michael Cresta's 830
on October 12, 2006. Michael had not played enough games that season to be
eligible for that accolade, and that was the only time a losing score was
the highest score above average.
High scores: Carl 572, Chris S. 560, Bruce 511,
Marshall 509, Brad W. 506, Judy H. 500
High losing scores: Chris S. 404 to Betsey 458, Judy H. 402 to Brad W. 506
High rating increases: Rob R. +42, Betsey +25

Although the Monday night Boston Scrabble Club has been dormant for November,
it is resuming at a temporary location in Brighton starting 1-Dec-08.
See http://wolfberg.net/scrabble/boston for details.
There was a recent low-scoring game at the Monday night Exeter, NH club
in which Joe Waldbaum defeated Barbara Lowrey 171-128. Indeed, they did
not total over 300 - the game stopped when there were six consecutive
scores of zero.
The 2008 SAT (Saturday After Thanksgiving) Tourney is now represented on
http://cross-tables.com - if you want to play, sign up immediately!
The mailing deadline is listed on the flyer as November 21.
RULES FOR WEEKLY RANKINGS
-------------------------
Each new player is given an estimated rating which will be recalculated after
that person has played ten games. A "UNR" is listed as a new player's rating
until at least four games are played. Then a provisional rating is shown
(followed by a slash and the number of games). New players are not ranked
until they have played ten games. The "/A" after a player's rating indicates
that player has been absent for at least 4 club sessions and is thus not
ranked. A player who has been absent for at least 10 sessions is not listed.
A player who has played fewer than 5 total games is no longer listed after
missing 3 sessions. When a game is a tie, each player is credited with a win.
