Charles Heads Experts  @ 4-0 +453

1st-Charles Reinke again sweeps all comers and goes undefeated. He triple-tripled with JINGOIST  in his 523 point game against Andy Bohnsack and played the cool 5 vowel 8, word of the week, ACTINIAE as one of his 4 binogs against Barb Besadny. Charles averaged and amazing 479 points for his games this session.

2nd-Thomas Reinke had 4 wins as well, for a 4-1 finish. Thomas played the CRISPEST bingo of the week when he was demolishing Lynda Finn. His only loss was to Andy Bohnsack--tough break to score 404 and still lose by 209.

3rd-Andy Bohnsack finished 3-1, with an amazing 478 average, and was Bingo King with 11, including NONELITE, GERANIUM, CRAZIEST and VANITIED in his 613-404 slugfest against Thomas Reinke. His only loss was to Charles where his 443 points still resulted in an 80 point loss.

Dee Sweeps Intermediates again @ 4-0 +297

1st-Dee Lilage went undefeated with an average game score of 397. Dee logged four cool bingos: OUTGLOW, FOIBLES, SPADING and STARTED. Her biggest win was a 416-301 win over expert Peter Schmiedicke.

2nd-Sue Goldstein 2-2 finish was good for second place. Sue bingoed with COATING and LENIENT and brought delicious chocolate chip cookies. No further run-ins with furnature occured.

Richard Lauder Excels in Experts @ 4-0 +365

1st - Richard Lauder finished atop the 13 experts who gathered at Attic Angels for the final club session of May 2012.  Richard's high game was a 479-288 two bingos (INSIDER, ESTRONE) to Chris Vergeront's single play of ASTERIA. Guess who had too many vowels too often.

2nd - Thomas Reinke's 3-1 +287 mostly maintained and slightly upped his 74.4% club winning percentage, as Thomas ended up as bingo king with 9 in 4 games, including the beauty ARBUTEAN, defined (by some) as (ADJ. of ARBUTE, an attractive curvaceous evergreen tree. Go figure!

3rd - Marty McCarthy, working 30 hour days it seems, found himself delivering cabinets in Madison, so he dropped by, winning 3 of his 4 games as he brought his best Oshkosh game to the big city and it held up quite nicely. Lets hope he has more deliveries set this way.

Dee Lillge Leads Intermediates Again

1st- Dee's 3-1 +65 was the top "vote getter" in a 6-person Intermediate field. Dee's sole loss was to expert Marty McCarthy but even there she had a very respectable 369-476 tally. Marty triple-tripled out in that game with REPLIERS just after Dee bingoed with RESALES.

2nd - Harwinder Dowd's 2-1 +128 nailed down 2nd. Harwinder bingoed in each of her 3 games, including the seldom seen SUGGEST.

3rd- Aki Miura finally broke the "no bingo" ice, when RETIRES hit the board in his 361-296 win against June Scott. RETIRES also includes two other good words, TERRIES and RETRIES. Aki finished with 2-1 +31 points. Can Aki's next bingo just be waiting in the wings? 

LYNDA FINN TOPS EXPERTS 2 4-1 +333

1st - Lynda Finn passed the Club's litmus test, i.e., playing both Reinkes, with one win, one loss, and then went on to win 3 more games to finish at 4-1 +333, tops in the experts.  Lynda's big game was a 496-252 win with newbie Dana Beilke, Lynda almost reaching the 500 levels despite playing a single bingo, CADAVERS.

2nd - Thomas Reinke held onto his club's Numero Uno ranking with a solid 3-1 night. The one loss though was an outstanding upset win as Dee Lillge, an intermediate player bested Thomas 400-378 in a win that ranks as one of the biggest unexpected wins in many a moon.  Congrats to Dee for a well played game.

3rd- Richard Lauder took 3rd with his 3-1 +215 performance. Richard's high game was his closing 485-334 encounter with Mary Becker. Lauder had 3 bingoes in that game, DECAGONS, GOVERNED and RAINOUT to Mary's single of BOASTED.

DEE LILLGE TOPS INTERMEDIATES AT 3-1 +287

1st - Dee played well all night long, achieving 5 bingoes (BLISTER, AVERTED, REENLIST, RETAINER and TANGLED) in her 4 games, inlcuding her win over club favorite, Thomas Reinke as she went away happy with a 3-1 +287 record.

2nd - June Scott continued her strong play lately, this time with a commendable 2-1 +104 double bingo night (ELEGANT and CRATERS) to nail down 2nd place in the Intermediates.  June's two bingoes need to be viewed against her overall record, as she normally gets 1 bingo every 9 or 10 games, so she was on a hot streak tonight.

3rd - Sue Goldstein also recorded a better than average night with two bingoes, BROADER and the phony but plausible MEWINGS while on her way to a 2-3 -235 finish. Sue's big game was her 376-352 rumble with June Scott, a 2nd round win.
