    Finally Got A Grid Bingo

    Several people thought I was trying to avoid getting bingo, finally I went and did it.  Last weekend I went out and added the waymarks necessary for five bingos.  10 A diagonally down to 29T,  Row 24,  Row 26, Row 27,  Row 31.   Also filled in 3 "floating bingos" those that are vertical more than 20 consecutive in column  but don't reach the length  11 F down 24 spaces,  13 G down 20 spaces, and 13 down 21 spaces.  It was a good weekend.

    I will probably have to take a road trip to get any more, hmmm where do I head next.

    The UK? Smile  Great job, Bruce, from someone who thought you were avoiding Bingos.

    I believe BruceS now has:

     

    The most Waymarks

     

    The most Categories with a Waymark created by him

     

    The most Bingos

     

    The most (& only?) Diagonal Bingos

     

    Do you like to play Blackout Bingo (covering all 25 squares)?  BruceS has two – 21F-J to 25F-J and 26F-J to 31F-J. He also has two more Blackouts that only require one more square each.

     

    I won’t go into each Category that he has the most created Waymarks.

     

     

    Way to go BruceS. You are what we all aspire to be.

    "Wizard of Waymarking"

    Re: Finally Got A Grid Bingo

    Could somebody define "grid bingo" for me?  I think it's 20 in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, but that's just from context.  People seem to have a clear idea of what it is; thought I'd ask.

    Re: Finally Got A Grid Bingo

    Yes, your definition is correct. The idea of a bingo was floated after the grid became available and this thread hashed out the various thoughts on the subject.

    Included in that thread is this idea of additional bingo options:

     Mega Bingo = 10x10 grid of visited categories Super Bingo = 5x5 grid of visited categories.Regular Bingo = 3x3 grid of visited categories.
