Stats for August 2, 2023
1st Charles Reinke brought his winning streak to nine straight thanks to a flawless 4-0 +547 performance. His first-round victory against Mark Kenas, 463-399, was actually his lowest score of the evening. In that one, his triple-triple ASTERIDS# for 131 points was able to overcome Mark's FLITTERN#, RAPTURES, and CAMELIAS. A rematch against Mark also ended in Charles' favor, 501-352, thanks in part to another high-scoring bingo, ADJURERS for 116. In the final round, a true "clash of the titans" took place as Charles, sitting at 3-0, matched up against the one other remaining 3-0 player, Bryan Benwitz. Despite the impressive pedigree of the two combatants, the clash was somewhat lopsided, as Charles won 493-354. Bryan found LIPREADS and VENETIAN, while Charles' bingo list consisted of NONOBESE, BEADSMAN, and GREENLIT.
2nd Thomas Reinke had the same win total as his brother, but the addition of a single loss to his scorecard dropped him to second place at 4-1 +486. He saved the majority of his wrath for his two Collins-lexicon games against Mark Kenas; playing a combined NINE bingos, Thomas won the games 512-329 and 539-359. His bingos were ANGELICA, FLIPSIDE#, UNROTTEN#, LENTORS#, URALITE, MANPOWER, FERRELS, DUNITES, and ASCITES. A more closely-fought victory was gained over John Bialek, 406-368. John found the gross bingo of BOOGERS, but Thomas outdid him with finds of INTONER, TENSEST, and word-of-the-week GUAIACOL. Thomas' only loss was to Bryan Benwitz, 405-433.
3rd Ron Malzer marked his third visit to our club with his first appearance in the weekly writeup, finishing at 3-1 +214 with a hefty 408 per-game average. His best game was a 462-349 smackdown of Dennis Lloyd where the bingo battle (POSTURE for Ron, LISTERS for Dennis) clearly doesn't tell the whole story. Ron followed that up with another large win, this one against Sara McLaughlin, 439-329. That one also saw each player get exactly one bingo: Ron's LANCETS and Sara's MOTIONED. Like Thomas above, Ron's only defeat was at the hand of Bryan Benwitz, 338-452.
