1st Charles Reinke romped in the absence of other top experts, going 5-0 +584 and gaining a small amount of ground in the yearly standings; however, the marginal gains were not nearly enough to overtake his brother, who remains six percentage points ahead of him. Charles opened the night with a slugfest against Richard Lauder, a slugfest which he eventually won, 507-395. This was despite Richard's four bingos of BOWLINGS, REPEATS, HOODIEST, and REELINGS. Charles supplied three bingos of his own: CREDITOR, OUTBIDS, and PEONISM. Another big win was scored against Helen Flores, whom Charles defeated by a score of 488-306. Helen found DENIERS to avert total disaster, while Charles had LAITANCE and OLEFINE.
2nd Dennis Lloyd went 3-2 -40, with a final record that could accurately be termed "three and Charles". Of Dennis' two losses to Charles, the second one was closer, but still not all that close, with a final 357-434 tally. Dennis got down FATTIES and GRANULE in that one, while their first matchup saw Dennis held sadly bingoless. The second round of the evening was particularly generous to Dennis as he played a two-on-one and won both. The big win was a 369-274 matchup against Sue Goldstein, a game in which neither player bingoed, but Dennis' 388-319 triumph over Richard Lauder was also a substantive supplier of much-sought-after spread points. Dennis' bingos there were SEEDING and REFINES, the latter for 98 big points.
Richard's OSMOSIS, played against Helen Flores, was word of the week.
