Stats for November 9, 2022
1st Thomas Reinke used an extra game to his benefit as he achieved the rare 5-0 record, finishing 5-0 +344 and certainly solidifying his confidence heading into this weekend's tournament. His highest-scoring game came against Mark Kenas, whom he beat 483-416 despite falling short in the bingo battle, playing the sole URETHANS to Marks' CESURAE and TRIPODY. While that game was in process, Thomas also took on Dennis Lloyd, and won a well-fought contest, 429-411. Again, Thomas was outbingoed two-to-one, but Thomas' triple-triple of DYNAMIST for 169 points game him just enough cushion to win. Lest you think that Thomas has lost his bingoing touch, a three-bingo outing against Mark Kenas (ECTOPIA, ELOIGNER, and OLESTRA) should put those blasphemous thoughts to rest.
2nd Charles Reinke did everything he could, going 4-0 +452 and averaging 486 points per game, but the lack of an extra game torpedoed his chances of taking first place from his brother. He took a pair of games from Mark Kenas, the second of which being a high-scoring 513-447 affair. Charles' emergent knowledge of the Collins lexicon was on show with the high-probability SAGENITE#, in addition to ULTRARED and IRENICAL; Mark got down LEADIEST, BIPLANES, and the obscure Collins-only ALCATRAS#. Charles's game against Helen also saw him unleash a trio of bingos, as he played MISKNEW, RESINED, and PESTLED en route to a 499-256 victory.
