1st Charles Reinke achieved the coveted undefeated record with a 4-0 +466 performance. A quick look at his winning scores (458, 470, 481, 517) plainly reveals an ascending pattern which would have continued unchecked had more games been played. Thus, for the dignity of all his challengers, it is a blessing that a typical club session consists of just four games, and Charles' streak of destruction was mercifully brought to a close. The most destructive of Charles' wins was a 470-299 win over Dennis Lloyd; Dennis had VARIANTS (something we hope we don't see any more of), while Charles had BEELINE, ENHALOED, and REIMPORT. Charles also enjoyed a solid 517-405 win against Thomas Reinke, where he flexed his newfound Collins knowledge with the Collins-only PERVIATE#. Thomas, meanwhile, flexed his knowledge of high-probability seven-letter words with OBESITY and DELATOR.

2nd Bryan Benwitz went 3-1 with a stratospheric spread of +463 and a total of eleven bingos played in his four games. A 402-446 loss against Thomas Reinke in the first round put him in the losers' bracket early, and from there he wreaked havoc. A 455-280 win against Sara McLaughlin (playing bingos of INJURIES, FENNIEST, and UNIFORMS) quickly put his spread back into positive territory. The spread points were gratuitously piled on by the final round, when Bryan brought out the heavy artillery for a 513-312 win over Helen Flores. Bingos of MUNTINS, SLATTERN, DICROTAL, and LEAKINGS* were grimly laid down for, in the opinion of this writer and certainly all club attendees, entirely too many points. Bryan is now averaging an obscene 456 points per game through the first ten games of his club season.
