1st Andy Bohnsack stood proudly at the very tippy-top of the weekly standings for the second week in a row, thanks to a 4-1 +427 showing. His two-on-one match against Helen Flores and Ron Malzer in round one was only halfway successful; the 438-324 win against Ron was nice, but Andy probably wants a do-over on the 381-435 loss to Helen, where his SECTION and LACERATE were countered by her ANISOLE and ENRAGING. Andy romped in round two, playing four bingos (ERIGERON, ATLANTES [plural of ATLAS, somehow], TOADIES, DUNNITES) en route to a 506-347 win. He subsequently handed Thomas Reinke his only loss of the evening, 405-350, finding PORTALED and ENTASIA, the latter out of a rack of AINST?? - as of this writing, we have not received an exact count of how many of the 213 available seven-letter words were actually identified. Andy put the final gold star on his sticker chart with a 482-329 victory over Richard Lauder, finding the stylish EXERGUE, accompanied by the less-stylish LINTERS and ATRESIA.
2nd Thomas Reinke went 4-1 +374, continuing to improve on his strong start to the nascent club season. He exercised his knowledge of high-probability bingos by getting down SERIATES and TERTIAN in a 414-357 victory against Lynda Finn, then continued to exercise that same knowledge with CAROUSE, ENDORSEE, and AUREATE to beat Helen Flores 472-303. In round three, Thomas faced a tough two-on-one set against Andy Bohnsack and Charles Reinke. As previously described, Thomas lost to Andy 350-405, but was able to beat his brother 459-386 thanks to an onslaught of four bingos: GELLANT, FAINTERS, SALINES, and ROMAJIS. This writer is not able to come up with a more intense word than "onslaught", but whatever that word is, that's what Thomas did to Bryan Benwitz, as he got down five bingos (INGESTA, REPAVES, OREGANOS, RAVISHED, and AUDITOR) to beat Bryan 523-393.
3rd Richard Lauder finished 3-2 -96, a pair of big losses negating some otherwise healthy victories. The less said about his 317-479 loss to Charles Reinke, the better, but Richard immediately turned it around with major success in round two, defeating both Sara McLaughlin (476-400) and Ron Malzer (412-281). Richard bingoed thricely in each game, getting UNITERS, EGALITES, and DETAINS against Sara and RELATION, HAIRLIKE and ISOLATE against Ron. Richard was also able to pick up a tightly-fought win over Helen Flores, 356-344. His run of wins came to a sad end in the final game, and the session ended much in the way it began with a 329-482 loss to Andy Bohnsack.
Sara's POULTICE was word of the week.
