1st Andy Bohnsack fully recovered from his slow start to the 2026 club season with a dominant 5-0 +452 performance. In round one, he administered a severe whupping to last year's club champion, beating Thomas Reinke 417-296 and finding WATERBUS and RUINABLE in the process (note that the total of two bingos Andy played in that game would end up being his lowest single-game bingo total of the night). A regularly-scheduled bout against Bryan Benwitz was well-fought, but the end result was another Andy win, 477-435, thanks to RIVALED, DEBONAIR, and DETRAIN. A two-on-one match against both Dennis Lloyd and Lynda Finn resulted in more bingos and more wins for Andy: against Dennis, Andy cruised to a 516-324 win (FOLKIEST, TURNSOLE, OESTRONE), while his game against Lynda ended 442-373 in his favor (COADIES, TENERS, EPIGEES* [APOGEAN, EPIGEAN, APOGEES, no EPIGEES*]). Andy put the fifth and final jewel in his crown with a 464-436 victory against Charles Reinke, finding LINGUIST, LAMBASTE, and LEOPARDS (what's with all the L's?) to Charles' UTOPIST, PREVAILS, and DETONATE.
2nd Thomas Reinke finished 3-2 +275. It was a slow start for him as Andy Bohnsack dispatched him early, 296-417, but he immediately recovered with a 475-317 trouncing of Mark Kenas, finding DALGYTES# and BOURREE. A round three encounter against Bryan Benwitz ended in sad defeat, 388-446, despite bingos of CORSAIRS and ENTHETIC (Bryan one-upped him with ESTUARY, IBOGAINE, and DOUTING). To end the evening, Thomas found himself in a two-on-one match; Mark Kenas was sent away with ease for the second time, 541-294, while Dennis Lloyd put up more of a fight but still lost, 413-364. Across those two games, Thomas had bingos of SNEERED, RIPENED, FLAVOUR, RANCORED, and ESTRIOL.
3rd Lynda Finn enjoyed a 2-1 +140 record, her late arrival preventing her from getting a third win and sneaking into second place. She welcomed newcomer Jennifer with her first-ever (but hopefully not last-ever) club loss, 390-309. Lynda paid for this lack of midwestern hospitality with a 373-442 loss to Andy Bohnsack, putting her losing streak against Andy at nine games. In her last game, she won big against Kelsey Stanczak, 410-282, thanks to her bingo of GUILTIER.
Bryan's REUPTAKE was word of the week.
