Thomas Reinke Plays Bingo of the Millenium, His Three Wins Were Secondary
1st Thomas Reinke had three wins with an impressive 455 cumulative. He played OMOPHAGIA for 112 (a double-double through OP) in a 522-349 victory versus a stunned Lynda Finn. Omophagia is defined as "the eating of raw flesh", but I'm having some problems tying that in to Scrabble, so if you want a pun you'll have to come up with one yourself. One 500-point game not being enough, Thomas also scored 505 against Andy Bohnsack, unleashing the words FLAILING, TWEETING, and CONENOSE (the more plausible-sounding NOSECONE being phony).
2nd Shayla Dunn also went 3-1. In the closest game of the night, she notched a close 444-438 win vs. Charles Reinke, playing IODINES and the nice FREEBIE, before falling to the other Reinke twin.
3rd Charles Reinke was held to a "mere" five bingos, but still managed to go 3-1 +54. His lone bingo of PORTRAYS was enough to take down Peter Schmiedicke's ONETIME in a 407-369 win.
Betty Hasselkus Takes Intermediates to School
1st Betty Hasselkus was the only undefeated player in the group, going 4-0 +286. She was the only Intermediate player to get a bingo down, playing one in each game: FLOATERS, GREETED, FALLERS, and LOOTERS.
2nd Barb Besadny went 1-2 -72, her win being against Sue Goldstein 338-320.
3rd June Scott was also 1-2, with a -194 spread. She beat the aformenetioned Barb Besadny with a score of 355-295.
