1st Bryan Benwitz, with a 4-0 +401 record, notched another first-place finish, making him the weekly champion three out of the last four sessions. His path to an undefeated record was not easy, but he still averaged a weighty 454 points per game through the course of his four wins. Richard Lauder came closest to beating him, but Bryan prevailed 446-414, thanks in part to a stylish find of UPCURVE (the next-shortest word containing CPUUV that isn't an UPCURVE variant is NUNCUPATIVE). Bryan then faced the Reinke gauntlet but left relatively unscathed by the ordeal, beating Charles 500=326 and Thomas 435-348. TALIONS, NITERIE, SNUGGED, TENNIST, and LITHIUM were his bingos in those two games. With an undefeated session on the line, Bryan went up against Beth Amos and again won comfortably, 435-327, getting down STEEPED and DILATIVE for some timely fifty-point bonuses.

2nd Thomas Reinke went 3-2 +188, well behind Bryan's stellar record but still good enough for second place. Things didn't start off so well for Thomas as he was felled by his fraternal foe Charles Reinke, 451-478. Thomas got WAGERED and a triple-triple RESTATES, the latter for 122 points, but Charles one-upped him with INEXPERT for 125, in addition to AERIEST and DANDRIFF (an archaic spelling of DANDRUFF). A much-anticipated rematch in the final round saw Thomas get his revenge, 457-346, thanks to finds of LAKIEST and WAGMOIRE# (an archaic spelling of QUAGMIRE only valid in the international lexicon). A 509-372 win over Lynda Finn was Thomas' best showing, and the only game where he got three bingos: DILDOES, ELECTRON, and GREENIES.

3rd Charles Reinke went 3-2 -42. His two-on-one matchup against Lynda Finn and Thomas Reinke was quite fruitful, yielding two wins (498-285 against Lynda and 478-451 against Thomas) and five bingos. A 326-500 loss to Bryan Benwitz, with the high-probability SENATOR being his only bingo, damaged Charles' spread total in round two. Charles barely came away with the win when he faced off against Beth Amos; their three-point margin (411-408 for Charles) was the most closely-contested game of the night. Both players had two bingos: DIALING and ENATIONS for Beth, ACTINAL and SOLVERS for Charles.
