1st Charles Reinke ran the table in the final club session of the 2021 season, going 3-0 +261. 176 of those 271 spread points came in a round one victory against Sara McLaughlin, 482-306. Sara found a bingo of STAINER in her fruitful rack of AEINRS? (43 additional words can be formed from those letters, too many to list here), while Charles had HERALDS and INBEINGS as his bingos. Charles also came away with a solid win against Bryan Benwitz, 457-375, getting down the ever-appropriate OUTDUELS as well as RETROACT.
2nd Thomas Reinke finished the club season with a 2-1 +230 record, falling short of his brother in the weekly standings but standing proudly atop the yearly standings nevertheless. He had a big win against Sue Goldstein, 448-226, thanks to bingos of RANGIEST and RELEGATE, both for 80 points. However, an unblemished win-loss record was denied when he ran into his brother in round three and lost by a hair, 359-362. Thomas had a single bingo of IODINES, but Charles' late-game STEMMERY for 92 points proved to be the difference-maker.
Special mention goes to Bryan Benwitz for his 606-point game against Helen Flores, including the triple-triple RODEOING for 140. Bryan owns the three highest scores of the 2021 club season: 606, 602, and 588.
Thus concludes the 2021 club season, with Thomas Reinke and his 70.6% win percentage being crowned club champion! Rounding out the top three were Charles Reinke (67.6% win rate) and Bryan Benwitz (61.2% win rate).
