1st Bryan Benwitz notched his first undefeated session of the club season with a 4-0 +335 record. He entered quickly into his usual routine of "scoring way too many points", defeating Sara McLaughlin 454-341 on the back of EUDAEMON and UNCAGES. Two more bingos (DREAMING, INFOTECH) secured a 435-383 win over Thomas Reinke, who had DELETING and RETABLES. In round three, Bryan decided it was time to start playing more bingos (because we all know that playing more bingos is something that one can simply "decide" to do), and with his four bingos of MISTERS, PYRANOID, ANODISE, and OUTEARN, he got a big win against Charles Reinke, 507-414. Charles had the uncommon KALLIDIN, to go with the more-common LACTONE, in his losing effort. To clinch his undefeated night, Bryan took on late arrival Dennis Lloyd and won 482-405, piling on three more bingos: OINOMELS, GRADATE, and AERUGOS.
2nd Thomas Reinke began the process of clawing his way back up the yearly standings with a 3-1 +174 record. He extended his winning streak against Mark Kenas to five games (after enduring a six-game losing streak immediately prior) with a pair of Collins-lexicon victories, 429-400 and 480-400. JAUNSED#, PROGERIA, and PRENATAL were his bingos in the first game, while a heavy-hitting 106-point FEMINAL# proved to be his only bingo in the latter win. Between those two games, Thomas suffering his only loss, 383-435 to Bryan Benwitz. In game four, Thomas had to fend off the tenacious James Rollins, who, despite his find of QUARTILE for 88, was buried by Thomas' ARENOUS, CONFECTS, and LONGLINE.
3rd Charles Reinke went 3-1 +77, a rather subdued showing after being so dominant the first six weeks of the club season. Game one was not easy for him as he fought tooth-and-nail to get a 367-348 win against Richard Lauder, playing LEISURES and CORNEOUS to Richard's UNOILED. Things got a bit more comfortable in a 476-394 victory against Mark Kenas, where Charles' MURALED and NUCLEONS overcame Mark's TEMULENT# and COISTRIL (the uncommon anagram to the more recognizable CLITORIS). In round three, Bryan "Dream Crusher" Benwitz lived up to his nickname by crushing Charles' dreams of a perfect record, winning their encounter 507-414, but Charles was able to morosely gather up the crushed remnants of his dreams and re-form them into some semblance of optimism as he finished his night with a 482-413 rematch victory against Mark Kenas.
James' bingo of COATRACK was word of the week. Containing two C's and a K, it's unlikely to come up again in the near future, medium future, long future, or ever.
