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.

CHRIS VERGERONT LEADS EXPERTS IN WINNING PERCENTAGE

1st - Thomas Reinke was top expert in a group of 5 3-1 finishers with his 336 cume. He validated his top dog position on his very first play at club in his 505-371 win vs. Richard Lauder as he played ELITIST to begin his night. In his closing game with brother Charles, he PILLARED Charles 480-308, DEFACING any DETENTES those two players once agreed to.  : )

2nd - Chris Vergeront sits atop the experts with a 75% winning average as Chris made an impressive initial appearance at club this year. He finished his 3-1 +197 night with a hefty 475-292 game with Barb Besadny. Chris played UNSTICK, OESTRINS and ENTITLE in that final game.

3rd- Andy Bohnsack's 3-1 +181 was sufficient for 3rd position..his big game also was his closing 454-351 game with Helen Flores, his total enhanced with bingos of TURACOS, OVERAGES and LATITUDE in that game.

Peter Schmiedicke was bingo king with 10 and Charles Reinke laid down the word of the week..UGLIFIED. It means what it says...making UGLY.

HARWINDER DOWD TOPS 5 INTERMEDIATES

1st - Harwinder Dowd's 2-1 paced the Intermediates which included her high game of 426-298 with Asa Miura. Harwinder bingoed twice there, with FATHERS and LISTINGS padding her scorecard.

2nd- Asa Miura's 1-1 -31 gave him a 2nd place spot as he won a rare face-to-face with his wife 384-295. They normally never play each other at home.

3rd- Asa's wife Jill finished 3rd at 1-1 -72 as she bested June Scott 327-302 before both she and Asa had to leave to spell off a babysitter back in the real world.

Brian Benwitz was the victor beating Andy not once but twice to earn the honor. His only loss was to Lynda Finn who needed both blanks and many S's to turn him away.

Coming in second was Andy Bohnsack, who would have lead the session had Brian not beaten him in an opening game nailbiter by 2 points. Andy was bingo king, with 9 bonus words, including the great find of CRAALING

Renato Umali took third, with both of his decisive wins and five of his six bingos coming against Lynda. Renato once again played the word of the week, KURTOSIS. Great play!
