1st Bryan Benwitz returned to his winning ways with a 4-0 +431 record. He saved his best for first as he torpedoed Dave Kinzer in round one, 564-373; SEEDING, SEAMIER, TELERAN, and a 149-point 3x3 of NOTIFIED were his bingos. His next game was a lot closer, squeaking by Charles Reinke with bingos of GEOIDAL and BISTABLE for a 416-411 win. Cruelly thrown back into the Reinke arena for round three, Bryan once again emerged victorious, with the final tally of 467-336 being quite decisive in Bryan's favor. Crafty finds of VORTEXES and ARTISTRY contribued to the pulverisation, while Thomas stemmed the bleading with the three-I INSIPID and the nine-letter TREADLERS. Bryan finished his clean sweep with a 457-353 win against Helen Flores, playing the odd-but-valid BEDIAPER in addition to MORTICES (Helen found GLORIES and ELISION).

2nd Charles Reinke's 2-2 +246 record was sufficient for second place, with only six players interrupting their spring break to play Scrabble; we assume everybody else was on a party bus en route to South Beach. Having no party-bus-related distractions, Charles won his first game against Thomas Reinke, utilizing his Collins knowledge to play STAIRED#, GANOINE#, and FOVEATED in a 463-362 win. A 411-416 loss to Bryan Benwitz in round two was immediately followed by an upset 355-423 loss to Helen Flores. Helen got down RINSERS, INVITEES, and EMENDER while ending a losing streak that had persisted for over a year, and was last seen piloting a plane over the Madison area trailing a message that reads "I beat a twin". Charles turned things around for the final game, soundly defeating Sara McLaughlin 555-337 with his own avalanche of bingos: ANGARIES, ENDNOTE, BLANKIE, and CISTERN (extended correctly to CISTERNA and then incorrectly to CISTERNAS* - CISTERNAE and CISTERNAL are the valid extensions).

1st Andy Bohnsack overcame snow, wind, raucous Yu-Gi-Oh players, the wafting smell of delicious pizza, and untold hundreds of other obstacles in order to finish with a 490 per-game average, a perfect 4-0 record, and a towering spread total of +533. Andy was unstoppable almost from the very first play, with his round-one game against Sara McLaughlin ending in decisive victory, 517-319. Andy's winning effort was blemished by a phony LATRILE* (LAETRILE is the correct spelling), played alongside the valid OVERLIES, TINAMOUS, and HERBIEST. Andy's bingo output took a hit in round two, but his singular CITOLAS was still enough to take the win against Helen Flores, 437-374. The bingos flowed freely once again in the following game, as Andy slammed four more of them (NEONATE, AURICLES, STANING, IODATES) onto the board in a 517-326 win against Lynda Finn. The final feather in Andy's feather-festooned cap was a big 488-407 win against Thomas Reinke, where STEARIC, LEGATING, and SEAPORT were added to Andy's already overflowing list of bingos (new double-length scorecards with extra room for recording one's bingos are being printed as we speak).

2nd Dennis Lloyd reversed some recent 1-3 performances with a solid 3-1 +255 outing. Dennis did not seem to be destined for success after round one, which was a tough 273-429 loss to Helen Flores, who held Dennis bingoless while playing TOWNIES and TRUSTEE for herself. However, Dennis immediately turned things around with a 498-292 win versus Sara McLaughlin, having learned from Helen the foolproof technique of "bingo infinity times more often than your opponent" (Sara did not bingo while Dennis had DEIFIES and DILUTED; the math definitely checks out and should not be unnecessarily scrutinized). In round three, Dennis finally put a stop to a lengthy losing streak against Bryan Benwitz, once again holding his opponent bingoless and playing two of his own (WAGERER, PRODUCED) in a 392-335 win. Dennis picked up his third and final win against visiting Iowite Jordan Barger, 462-314; initially being from North Carolina, Dennis receives a pass for not displaying the expected levels of Wisconsinian hospitality.

1st Charles Reinke recovered the high-scoring, no-losing form he displayed earlier in the club season, averaging 488 points per game with a spotless 5-0 +499 record. He started with a vengeful 528-388 win against lifelong enemy Thomas Reinke, getting OUTWRITE as a triple-triple for 113 points, as well as RENATURE and TANSIES. Switching back to the American dictionary, Charles prevailed against Dennis Lloyd despite Dennis' 103-point SAVORED (Charles found CONTUSE and EROTICAS). In round three, Charles faced a very tough two-on-one match against Bryan Benwitz and Andy Bohnsack (who decides these pairings anyway?), but managed to win both. His game against Bryan was especially close, and each of his three bingos (MURIATED, SENATOR, RAPINES) was sorely needed, as the final total of 441-435 can attest. Charles' 485-349 win over Andy was not quite as stressful, and featured bingos aplenty: DHARNAS, ABIOTIC, SUPEREGO for Charles, ORDINAL, GRIEVES, STRIDENT for Andy. The perfect five-and-oh was achieved when Charles matched up against his brother and mostly repeated the carnage of the first game with a 540-388 win, finding bingos of PONCHOS, SAUTOIRE, QUAERES, and TONTINE.

2nd Bryan Benwitz went 3-1 with a hefty +536 spread and averaging a season-best 475 per game. He rocketed past the 500-point mark with a 550-335 win against Ron Malzer in round one, aided by bingos of SUBTYPE, AIRSIDES, and COLLAGEN (Ron was not content to be left out of the fun, adding REALIGN and REALIST). A high-powered matchup against Andy Bohnsack in round two resulted in a lopsided 444-315 win for Bryan, thanks to TUSSARS and FLOWERET. The aforementioned 435-441 loss to Charles Reinke put to rest Bryan's hopes of an undefeated night. Bryan took this disappointment at the ruination of his plans and channeled it into a commanding 469-271 victory over Sara McLaughlin in the final round, although he showed some restraint by bingoing "only" twice with REGROUPS and SULLIES.

 3rd Thomas Reinke finished at 3-1 +263, beating every opponent with whom he did not share a last name. Deep in the hole early with a 388-528 loss to his brother, Thomas dug himself out (and then some) with a two-on-one contest in the second round. His 462-330 win against Ron Malzer was substantial, but his 576-347 victory over Lynda Finn could appropriately be called "massive". Thomas' inclination towards bingos was more like an obsession, as he made five such plays: ACONITES, ERELONG, BRIQUET, FROGLETS, and INTERMIT. Lynda added AWARDEES. Thomas won big yet again when he played three bingos (TUREENS, STEARINS, PEDDLING) while defeating Dave Kinzer 511-317. But his fortune ran out there when he lost to his brother in the final round, 388-540, although his bingos of BENADRYL and the Collins-only misprint-looking abomination of RETRAITT# were more fun than the average bingo.
