Fall 1999 Schedule
& the Year So Far

Home  •  How to Play  •  Dues & Prizes  •  Schedule & Standings

Every game is the second Tuesday of the month. Doors at 7:00, first roll at 7:30. The hostess picks a theme, and the theme is optional, but the hostess will remember who didn't play along. If you need directions, call me. (I'm not putting anybody's address on the Internet. We all live within four blocks of each other, so I don't know why anybody needs directions, but still.)


When & whereThe theme
September 14
at Gina's
(done!)
Back to School Bunco
Apples on every table, brand-new #2 pencils for the score pads, and the prizes came in brown lunch sacks with our names on them in Gina's best teacher printing. Everybody brought a story about the first day of school. Joy's kindergartner told his teacher he already knew everything and could he go home now.
Tuesday, October 12
at my house (Vonda's)
Monster Mash Bunco
Costumes! Encouraged, not required, but encouraged. There will be a prize for best costume by secret ballot, and I'm paying for it myself so it doesn't come out of the dues. Caramel apples, cider, and a punch bowl with dry ice if I can figure out where you buy dry ice.
Tuesday, November 9
at Diane's
Y2K Bunco
Diane says if all the computers crash on New Year's, at least we'll still have a game that doesn't need electricity. (We tried that. See the ice storm on the front page.) Prizes are survival kits: flashlights, batteries, bottled water and a bag of M&M's. Please bring a canned good for the church food pantry.
Tuesday, December 14
at Janet's
Christmas Bunco & the Crowning of the Bunco Queen
The big one! Ornament exchange, $10 limit, wrapped. The Christmas kitty pays for the food and for the year-end prizes, and the player with the most Buncos for the whole year gets crowned Bunco Queen of 1999 with a real rhinestone tiara. We'll also draw the 2000 hosts out of a hat.

September at Gina's: The Winners
  • Most Buncos: Betsy, after a roll-off with three other girls who each had two. She rolled a 15, and none of them could top it.
  • Most Wins: Molly, 15 wins out of 24, also in a roll-off. Two roll-offs in one night. We were there until eleven.
  • Most Losses: June, 17 losses, and she was a very good sport about it.
  • Fuzzy dice: went home with Diane, two months running and three times this year. Diane, we are starting to talk.

1999 Standings, January through September

Sorted by Buncos, because that's the race for the tiara. June is in the lead by one with three months to go, and Diane is breathing down her neck. Nights means nights played. Wins and losses are rounds, out of 24 a night.

Subs can win the nightly prizes but they can't be Bunco Queen. Angela has rolled four Buncos in three nights, which is a better pace than any of the regulars. Angela has asked whether this rule could be reviewed. The rule has been reviewed. The rule stands.

Poor Gina. Nine nights, every single one of them, and not a prize yet. She says she's saving it all up for December.
