CHARLES REINKE PERFECTO AT 4-0 +543

1st - Charles Reinke wove his six bingos into a 4-0 +543 total to take first place in a group of 14 experts. It was a case of "NICER" words propelling his win/loss night past Thomas's 14 bingos, Andy's 12 and Chris's 8 such bonus counters.

2nd - Thomas Reinke's 4-1 +474 was highlighted by two 4-bingo games. as Helen Flores witnessed ENEMATA, HONORING, TEPEFIED, and PERSONA and he then showed Richard Lauder LOITERER, STEARIC, SPOOFING and the spoof bingo of TURFISH. Thomas returned to the Numero Uno spot in the expert's yearly stat page.

3rd - Peter Schmiedicke took 3rd despite his more plebian night (for him) of only 6 bingoes. Peter split his Reinke games, losing to Thomas 418-315 and then smiting Charles 527-338 in his thrid game match.

ASA MIURA TOPS TEENY FIELD OF INTERMEDIATES

1st - Asa Miura carried the MIURA FLAG to top spot in a field of 3 Intermediates with a 1-1 +104 night.  Asa's big game was a 397-212 win vs. June Scott, a game he played OUTDATED in.

2nd - Harwinder Dowd also did a 2 game stint, finishing 1-1 -4 and in 2nd position.

3rd- June Scott's 0-4 -404 rounded out the field for the 3 Intermediates. Hopefully next week a few more of the regulars will be back to help June out.

Peter Schmiedicke goes 4-1 leaving the rest of us in the dust. His only loss was to Richard Lauder in a very defensive game. 

Richard Lauder was bingo king with 10. he also played the word of the night, TEETOTAL, inspired by the lack of stiff choices at the Hy-Vee beverage bar.

Gail had the high game of the night with a 519. In that game, she scored the only triple-triple of the night, LANTERNS. 

Renato Comes out on top in every way!

Renato has the most wins, 3, the highest spread, +343, the highest game score, 520, the highest average, 436, held his opponents to the fewest points, 352, had the most bingos, 8, played the word of the week, AUTECISM, which means the development of the entire lifecycle of a parasitic fungus on a single host. He also played the low probabililty word of the week, KIDVIDS, through an I. 

The rest of us did pretty mediocre in comparison.
