1st Mark Kenas went 3-1 +290 to snag first place, continuing the dry spell of undefeated records that goes back to May 18, when Peter Shmiedicke went 4-0. By virtue of his enthusiasm for the Collins international word list, Mark was treated to an all-Reinke lineup of opponents, but was fearless in confronting the danger looming in front of him. His single loss was in the first round to Thomas Reinke, 385-435. He then beat Charles Reinke in two straight games, 409-363 and 503-394, cashing in with high-scoring bingos of UNCASHED (92) and MANTELET (122) in the latter victory. The cherry on top was an emphatic 530-345 win over Thomas, where Thomas' HANDIER for a sizable 94 points was no match for Mark's bingos of UNSHADED, PENULTS, and COMPOTES.
2nd Helen Flores strengthened her case for unlimited and irrevokable bragging rights with her second-straight second-place finish, this time going 3-1 +23. After a low-scoring, bingoless, but very tightly contested 319-317 victory against Sue Goldstein, Helen ramped up the scoring a bit with a 388-347 win against Sara McLaughlin. Helen had one bingo of DESTINY in that game (as in: it was destiny for Helen to go 3-1 two weeks in a row), while Sara had IMPOSES. Similar to Mark Kenas' experience, Helen's one loss came courtesy of Thomas Reinke, who defeated her by a score of 408-358. However, Helen was the winner of their previous contest, so this surely has ushered in an area where Helen beats Thomas exactly half the time from now into perpetuity.
