Andy Bohnsack Leads Five 3-1'ers in Experts

1st - Andy Bohnsack topped a tight field of five experts who all finsihed with 3-1 records, Andy's having the biggest cume of +189. Andy and Peter Schmiedicke tied for bingo king honors with 9 each.  Andy's sole loss was deliverd by the same Peter in a 409-445 3rd game encounter.

2nd- Lynda Finn finished in second at 3-1 +170, right behind Andy's cume. Lynda managed to best Peter Schmiedicke 412-357, resulting in her second place finish against his identical record. Lynda was nipped herself in a tight five point loss to Shayla Dunn. Shayla played the outstanding bingo of the week, BAGATELLES, a 10 letter gem in an earleir game with Thomas Reinke.

3rd- Peter Schmiedicke's 3-1 with an identical +170 took 3rd place honors. Peter had a huge 4 bingo explosion in his first game, playing SINKAGE, INSULTS, LANTERN and SHIFTER in his 492-406 win with Charles Reinke.

Dee Lillge Takes Top Spot in Intermediates at 2-2

  1st - Dee Lillge sandwiched 2nd and 3rd game wins around a narrow 3 point opening loss to June Scott (297-300) and a valient closing game with the club's Top Gun, Thomas Reinke, where her 341-449 fell quite a bit short of her 3rd win, but still allowed her top place in the small Intermediate field.

2nd - June Scott finished second at 1-1-1 as her first two games were decided by the thinnest of margins...game one won with a 300-297 and game #2 tied at 207-207 apiece with new comer Mark Saltzman.

3rd - Sue Goldstein also had a tie game, as she finsihed at 1-2-1 for 3rd. Sue's tie came on the higher end of scoring when she and Barb Besadny knotted the score at 359 a piece.

RICHARD LAUDER SLIDES THROUGH EXPERTS AT 4-1 FOR TOP SPOT

1st - Richard Lauder won four of his five games to take first place in a field of 13 experts, winning his last game only when Shayla Dunn tried an incorrect hook for her otherwise good bingo play of AIRIEST. Close games turn on faulty calculations, and one can rest assured that Shayla will know forever that EAU only takes an "X" for the plural, not an "S". Richard finsihed at 4-1 +210.

2nd - Charles Reinke's 3-1 +425 captured 2nd, as Charles lost only to Shayla. Shayla "shaved" him with a 405-402 nail biter, her STOOLIE giving her enough for the win. Speaking of whisker thin results, Charles leads Andy Bohnsack with a 69.7% to Andy's 69.6% winning percatage for 3rd place in the expert's stats.

3rd - Andy Bohnsack, this weeks bingo king with 12 bonus plays, took 3rd at 3-1 +293. Andy's big game was his opening 547-316 demolition of Thomas Reinke, thanks to major scoring plays of TOUCHIER, ARIETTA, SMALTINE nad OVERLAID.

SUE GOLDSTEIN HITS THE JACKPOT OF 3-0 IN INTERMEDIATES

1st - Despite arriving after game one was almsot over, Sue promptly went to work and won all three of her remaining matches, including a one point win vs. expert Barb Besadny in their third game 309-308 slug fest.

2nd - Harwinder Dowd  finished in 2nd place with a 2-1 +180 cume. Harwinder's opening game was a 353-204 "introductary" game with club newbie Gretchen Hensen. Gretchen and Mark Saltzman both played at the club for the 1st time, and we hope they will return again to test their newly emerging skills with our regulars.

3rd- June Scott continued to have winning nights, this one a 2-1 +25 finish to complete her night at Barnes & Noble.
