THOMAS REINKE RETURNS TO FORMER SELF - 4-0 +624

1st - Thomas Reinke broke free of the cloud that obscured his game lately, as he played 12 bingoes on his way to a huge 624 cume and four straight wins. He also handed his brother Charles a rare loss, winning with a 4-bingo game, 527-365.  Thomas surpassed Andy Bohnsack for the 2nd place position behind Charles who remains comfortably atop the experts with an unholy 79.3% winning record.

2nd - Richard Lauder's 3-1 +392 garnered him a 2nd place position. Richard opened with his night's high game, a 494-360 win against a suddenly hands-tied Peter Schmiedicke. Peter has continued to bingo (8 this week) right along, but the win column has not seen his name again this week. There is always the next game...

3rd - Charles Reinke's 3-1 +151 landed him at 3rd place. Charles played in a huge shootout with Andy Bohnsack, emerging the winner in a monstrous 494-454 clash. Charles played the word of the week in that game, EUROKOUS. The word is defined at the ability of an organism to live under a variety of conditions.  Great find!

JUNE SCOTT RETURNS AND TRIUMPHS!  3-1 +94

1st - After a long absence as she regained her strengths, June Scott returned with a flouish, winning 1st with her 3-1 +94 outing.

2nd - Sharlie Miura's 2-0 +103 cemented a 2nd place hold.  Sharlie defeated both June Scott and Sue Goldstein to earn her placement.

3rd - Sue Goldstein took 3rd with a 1-3 -84 total. She lost back-to-back games with June to complete her night at Barnes & Noble. 

Peter dominates with 5 wins and and 16 bingos in 6 games, including a triple-triple with OESTRINS. Word of day was METALISES, the cool 8 that Bryan played for a triple from the ME.

2nd -  Andy Bohnsack's 3-1 +271 translates into  = Andy played Charles one time. Andy was co-King with Charles at 10 bingoes each.
