1st Andy Bohnsack prevailed over all with a 4-0 +339 record. In round one he roughed up Lynda Finn with bingos of ROUGHENS and DIASTER, winning 444-351. Another much-anticipated installment of the Bohnsack/Benwitz (Bohnwitz? Bensack?) series followed, with Andy coming out on top, 408-337, thanks to bingos of DAWTING and TALCOUS. Andy's tendency to play exactly two bingos in every game, a tendency which has been evident since the mid 00's, continued into the third game, where he played LORRIES and RURALISE in a 416-316 win against Dennis Lloyd. Finally bucking the trend, Andy played three bingos (TAENIAE, REGRATED, BARTEND) and secured a perfect record by beating Thomas Reinke 458-383 in the final game.

2nd Thomas Reinke went 3-1 +272, losing only to the gentleman who appeared above him in the weekly standings. His first game was a close one, but after the large point totals were all tallied up, it was a victory over Mark Kenas, 475-471. Thomas got VIDALIAS, QUARTERN, and MULLING against Mark's EGESTION, TEARIER, and ESPOUSE. Their rematch saw Thomas find three more bingos (SOLIDER, GOATIES#, STARTER) in a not-quite-as-closely-contested 538-360 win. Thomas also won big against Richard Lauder, 471-306, playing TRIPLANE and HAGGISES (ed. note: haggis, being made out of sheep organs, is probably disgusting) (secondary ed. note: a triplane is a tri-plane, not a trip-lane, as this writer thought for several years after learning the word). As described above, Thomas' goal of a perfect night was snuffed out by Andy Bohnsack in a 383-458 loss.

3rd Charles Reinke went 3-1 +228 with a club-leading eleven bingos. He picked up a quick win in round one by defeating Helen Flores 454-341, getting INTERNS and COUPLERS to Helen's INVERSE. Things took a turn for the worse in round two, where Charles was held to just 325 points by Mark Kenas, who had 442. Charles found NOUNIEST# and REDACTOR in that one, while Mark had BONIBELL#, which would have been word of the week were it not a Collins-only word. Charles showed off the benefits of high-probability bingo study against Steve Hartsman, where his CODEINE, UNITAGES, and MISREAD led him to a comfortable 431-310 win. For the fourth and final game, Charles got his revenge against Mark, winning 512-402 and bingoing four times: INCANTS, REFLOWER, ENTRAINS, and BENTIEST#.

4th Lynda Finn also went 3-1, her big win being a 408-375 game against Bryan Benwitz.
