1st Charles Reinke extended his run of first-place finishes to four with a 5-1 +565 record and a 481 per-game average. The six total games he played were a result of him being the "one" in two different two-on-one matches. The single loss on his scoresheet was a high-scoring 505-512 encounter with his brother Thomas Reinke - that losing score of 505 is just the eighth 500+ loss since the club started keeping track of game-by-game data in 2011. Charles had bingos of REDLEGS, VAMOOSES, and PINNATED in his losing effort, while Thomas got down TEABERRY, SWASTIKA, SEMIOVAL, and ENCRINAL#. Another match against the same opponent went better for Charles as he prevailed 532-395 and got down bingos of SURTOUT and TIMINGS. Charles had one more 500-point game up his sleeve which he reserved for Helen Flores. Bingos of PASTIME, CAFFEINS, and LANKIER propelled him to a comfortable 510-289 win.
2nd Richard Lauder disrupted the recent dominance of the weekly standings by players named "Reinke", finishing at 3-1 +232 and ending up with a spiffy per-game average of 412. He started off strong with a big win over Helen Flores, 459-269, thanks to his bingo finds of PROMISE and UNITERS. Another good game followed, 436-354 vs. Sara McLaughlin, however, the victory was marred by a phony MERITORS* (MORTISER and STORMIER are the words in those letters). Richard's signature win was a decisive takedown of the fearsome Thomas Reinke, 421-366. His bingos there were DANGLES and DARTLES. Sadly, his success against Reinkes didn't extend to the other twin, as he was felled by Charles Reinke, 332-427. That was despite Richard holding Charles to zero bingos while playing three himself: DATEABLE, SWEARERS, and LENTOIDS.
