1st Charles Reinke reigned supreme with his 3-1 +484 record and his 492 per-game average. He put a major amount of hurt on Dennis Lloyd with a crushing 576-312 victory, unleashing four bingos (UNDERPAY, TRECENTO, GISARME, LISTENED) to achieve victory. LITHOED was the single bingo played by the losing side. However, while that 576 score was quite nice, Charles was not completely happy with it, so in the following round he pulled out all the stops to achieve a 609-399 win over his brother Thomas. This time, Charles drew upon the full power of his word knowledge to set forth five separate bingos in his quest to vanquish his brother: ENSEARS#, DEUTZIAS, THYMINE, TUTORAGE, and HISTOGEN. For his part, Thomas got down three bingos of his own: AMIRATES, WEAKSIDE, and TRIBADE. This win was vengeance for an early 365-414 loss against the same opponent.
2nd Thomas Reinke finished with an identical 3-1 record to the first-place finisher, but fell short in terms of spread with a +215. A first-round victory is always a good thing for establishing momentum and the proper frame of mind, and Thomas exemplified this perfectly with a 508-299 win against Richard Lauder. Richard did not manage to play a bingo, while Thomas got down INTERNET and SAVATES. Thomas enjoyed similar fortune against Sara McLaughlin, emerging triumphant in their encounter, 444-277, thanks to finds of VIDEOING and UTILISER. A perfect 4-0 record was thwarted, however, by Charles Reinke, who beat Thomas 609-399 in a display of Scrabbling so barbaric that the details of it can never be uttered.
Dennis' LIBELOUS was chosen as word of the week.
