Bluegrass summer tournament

Congrats and thanks to Steve Bush, who both directed the summer one-day tournament and won Division One. He was undefeated going into the final game, but Marc Broering stopped him. Both were 7-1, but Steve won on spread. The performance gave him a new peak rating of 1895, knocking on the door of 1900. With a ranking of 44, he's now a top-50 player in North America. Marc is right behind him, with a new peak rating of 1872 and a ranking of 54.

Congrats also to Victoria, who won Division 2 and moved within four points of her peak rating.

If you haven't seen the results on Cross-Tables, click here.

The new venue, on the EKU campus, was nice, albeit a bit warm. We had 16 players, which made it easy to divide into 2 divisions with a round-robin and king of the hill. Thank you to the club members who brought goodies, and thank you to the out-of-towners for making the trip.

No club meeting tomorrow?

Since most of us are at the tournament in Richmond today, it's not likely that we will also attend Bob Evans tomorrow. See you next week!

Puzzles for a Tuesday: Bingos with a Common Possible Prefix

In a conversation with Margaret post-game, we discussed all the bingos that could be made with the prefix ANTI. Realistically, though: this was Margaret telling me words while I nodded and smiled nicely.

This made me think of an interesting question, though. What are some bingos that are also valid if you add ANTI to the front of it? For example, ANXIETY is valid, as is ANTIANXIETY. The answers will be posted in a comment on this post, so don't click through until you want the answers!

BCOOTTY
CCELNOY
AEFGITU
EEHILSX
CIIMOTT
AEHPRSS (note: there are five total bingos in this one, but there's only one that accepts ANTI on the front)
AEILMRS (three total here, but again, only one takes ANTI as a prefix)
CEIPSST (two total, one with ANTI as a possible prefix)
