1st - Peter Schmiedicke emerged top dog as four experts squared off at the East Side Hy-Vees for a Monday shoot out. Peter's 3-1 +280 includede the word of the night, UNWINDER as a triple-triple in his 533-437 game with renato Umali.

2nd - Richard Lauder's 2-2 -44 was just enough to garner him a 2nd place finish as the tile bag turned in his favor after his 0-2 start. Richard also enjoyed an accomdating game with Renato Umali with his game's 463-353 win. Richard played TANNINS, EPINASTY, and PROMISEE in a rare 3-bingo game assault against Renato's sole REDATING.

3rd- Andy Bohnsack had his winning streak at Hy-Vee run aground by Peter Schmiedicke's 447-to Andy's 373 2nd game encounter. Peter's sole bingo of SALARIED was enough to offsets Andy's OUTREADS and SEVERER plays. Andy's two losses let Lynda Finn slip ever so slightly ahead of him as she took over 3rd place in our Club stats behind the Dreaded Duo...no other names need be attached to that pair..  : )

See many of you at Club this Wednesday at the Church...

CHARLES REINKE LEADS EXPERTS STATS BACK TO "NORMALCY"

1st - Charles Reinke ended Shayla Dunn's brief position atop the Experts with his 4-0 +284 evening, while Shayla ran afoul of scrabble reality and a 2-3 night. After the last tile was played, positions 1-2-3 held the usual suspects once again, Thomas and Charles at #1 and #2, with Andy Bohnsack in hot pursuit at #3. Charles won a low scoring five point cliff hanger 346-341 against  Andy "Bingo-Machine" Bohnsack  in the final night's encountering.

2nd - Andy Bohnsack sprayed 14 bingoes over his five games, including the club's only 600 game this year.  His high game was a 623-307 win vs. Barb Besadny on his way to a 4-1 +680 2nd place finish. Andy even managed two bingos (NETTLIER, SOLVING) in that final game loss to Charles Reinke 341-346.

3rd- Thomas Reinke's 3-1 +303 was a part of his 10 bingo night, with words like FRETLESS, PTOMAIN, SIGNORI, ACINOSE and MISTOLD adding their bonus points to his varied games.  Thomas and Andy are both averaging 440 this year, a total close to being formally declared obscene in light of the tiles we others draw.  : )

 HARWINDER DOWD LEADS LARGE INTERMEDIATE FIELD

1st - Harwinder Dowd had a nicely above average night, scorewise, as she recorded a 2-1 +60 record to take top place in a field of 8 Intermediates.

2nd - John Daugherty played his first three bingos of the year, breaking that glass ceiling twice in his closing 385-271 game with Sue Goldstein as GULLIES  and ABETTING both joined their board in that closer game.

3rd- Sue Goldstein won two of her four games to take 3rd at 2-2 -59, despite no bingos for all four games. Sue's 6 bingos this year leads the Intermediates..so that makes her the "Andy Bohnsack" of that group.  Andy is threatening to break the 100 bingo level before the month is out. That's more scary than Halloween's worst to his opponents.

Andy handed out 4 scrabble lessons tonight, dominating all challengers. He played 9 bingos in 4 games, including the soon to be relevant YULETIDE. Renato had some mighty cool bingos including ALLONGE, SANDPITS and the lovely DOESKINS. The next east side session is Monday, October 22nd at HyVee at 6 PM.
