1st Thomas Reinke enjoyed his second straight week at the top of the weekly standings thanks to a 4-1 +381 record. Most of his spread came from a round-one excursion against Helen Flores which he won by a score of 555 to 296. Helen, to her credit, did get down a bingo of QUEEREST, while Thomas had NEMESIA, DEFAULT, and BELEAPS. Thomas' sole loss was a (relatively low-scoring) nailbiter against his brother Charles Reinke, a game in which Charles prevailed 360-356. Thomas would later get his revenge by beating Charles 461-368.
2nd Charles Reinke went 3-1 with a tame +28 total spread. He won a squeaker against Bryan Benwitz in the first round, 415-404, despite getting outbingoed two to one (AEROSOLS for Charles, DEVOICES and CLEMATIS for Bryan). The major success of Charles' night came against Dennis Lloyd in a 459-383 win. Dennis fought gamely with his bingos of OUTLETS and TWINGES (the latter for a bruising 98 points), but Charles couldn't be stopped with his four-bingo assualt of EROSION, PLETHORA, OVERHUNT, and EASELED (the last of which was later turned into WEASELED, much to Dennis' benefit).
Bryan Benwitz gets special mention for his anomalous 1-2 +298 record, wherein he averaged 491 points per game. A 482-506 loss against Thomas in the second round and a 588-point game in the third round contributed to this heinous aberration. Bryan also played the word of the week with CLEMATIS (which is just CLIMATES with the vowels creatively rearranged).
