1st Thomas Reinke compiled an unblemished 4-0 +355 record while also extending his ongoing winning streak to eleven games. He came somewhat close to breaking the 600-point barrier in a game against Sara McLaughlin which he won 584-298, playing bingos of AUSTERE, BLINKED, STIFLES, and TACNODES in what turned out to be the second-highest-scoring game this season (Bryan had a 588 back in August). Two straight wins against Charles Reinke in rounds three and four put Thomas' winning streak against that particular opponent at seven games, to that opponent's eternal frustration.
2nd Helen Flores went 2-2 +192, beating out two other 2-2 players for a well-deserved second place finish that saw her average an impressive 405 points per game, nearly 70 points more than her season average up to this point. Her big win came against Dennis Lloyd, 437-267, where she played two bingos, RAPIDLY and STOURIE. She came quite close to dethroning some of the club's top experts, losing to Charles Reinke 379-392 and losing to Bryan Benwitz 388-406 (the latter loss happening despite her 99-point bingo of COQUETS, played in addition to a 67-point GLIMPSE).
