Stats for October 12, 2022
1st Thomas Reinke went 3-1 +161 for another first place finish, making this writer somewhat bored with writing about the same subject over and over again. He scored over 400 in all his games, but the first of those was 400 points on the dot, and it was a loss, as his opponent, Dennis Lloyd, scored 468. Dennis played SQUANDER, PASSING, and ORIGAMI, while Thomas had TARTUFES and ORPINES. In the remaining three games, Thomas found his bingoing mojo (not that it was ever lost), getting three bingos in each of three consecutive wins. This culminated with a 525-392 victory over Mark Kenas, who played the phony MORULATE* (EMULATOR is the word in thlose letters). Thomas, meanwhile, found valid bingos of NEUSTIC, SCARTED, and GLARING.
2nd Dennis Lloyd averaged 405 points per game, considerably above his season average of 381, en route to a 3-1 +15 finish. Getting off to a good start in round one with a win against Thomas Reinke, Dennis used that momentum to take down Helen Flores, 435-413. Dennis got a 148-point triple-triple of NAKEDEST, but Helen didn't allow the high-scoring play from her opponent get to her head, as she made it a close game with bingos of HEARING and FUDGIER. Dennis improved his record to 3-0 with a 380-368 win over Dave Kinzer, and could practically taste the glory of a perfect 4-0 record, but lost in the final round to Peter Schmiedicke, 336-423.
