1st Thomas Reinke played six games, went 4-2 +227, and exploited a quirk in the placement algorithm (which only looks at total wins, not win percentage) to finish in first place. His bingo engines were running at full power right from the start, as he bingoed seven times in round one, a feat rendered slightly less impressive by the fact that he was playing two games at once. The scores were 464-413 against Mark Kenas and 521-426 against Charles Reinke, and his bingos were RUINOUS, MYLONITE, OTARINE#, NONAGES, SHIRTED, ANTERIOR, and LINEAGE. In a rematch against Mark, Thomas scored even more, but, unfortunately for him, Mark scored more more, with a final tally of 480-478 in Mark's favor. Thomas displayed significant knowledge of the Collins dictionary in that one, geting down CAPRATES#, SERVIENT#, OUGHLIED#, and DORMOUSE. A 446-472 loss against Bryan Benwitz was also extremely bingo-heavy, with both players getting three bonus plays: EXTERNAL, APOSTATE, and OUTSCORE for Thomas, VANITIES, FAKERIES, and OVERSOLD for Bryan.

2nd Bryan Benwitz maybe should have come in first place, but was awarded second place for his 3-1 +195 record, keeping his yearly win percentage at a lofty 81%. Hopes for an undefeated night were snuffed out in short order as he was felled by Lynda Finn in round one, 408-430. A nice find of VIDIOTS by Bryan was nullified by Lynda's trio of bingos: EXTENDS, HEARTIER, and SLANTED. Bryan's big win was a 458-313 drubbing perpetrated on Richard Lauder; when all was said and done, Richard could only draw a sad face in the box on his scoresheet where the bingos are supposed to go, while Bryan was able to triumphantly write down three bingos: VENTURIS, DIORITES, and ANTERIOR. A game against Sara McLaughlin was considerably closer, but Bryan emerged from the fray with the win, 400-354.

1st Charles Reinke extended his run of first-place finishes to four with a 5-1 +565 record and a 481 per-game average. The six total games he played were a result of him being the "one" in two different two-on-one matches. The single loss on his scoresheet was a high-scoring 505-512 encounter with his brother Thomas Reinke - that losing score of 505 is just the eighth 500+ loss since the club started keeping track of game-by-game data in 2011. Charles had bingos of REDLEGS, VAMOOSES, and PINNATED in his losing effort, while Thomas got down TEABERRY, SWASTIKA, SEMIOVAL, and ENCRINAL#. Another match against the same opponent went better for Charles as he prevailed 532-395 and got down bingos of SURTOUT and TIMINGS. Charles had one more 500-point game up his sleeve which he reserved for Helen Flores. Bingos of PASTIME, CAFFEINS, and LANKIER propelled him to a comfortable 510-289 win.

2nd Richard Lauder disrupted the recent dominance of the weekly standings by players named "Reinke", finishing at 3-1 +232 and ending up with a spiffy per-game average of 412. He started off strong with a big win over Helen Flores, 459-269, thanks to his bingo finds of PROMISE and UNITERS. Another good game followed, 436-354 vs. Sara McLaughlin, however, the victory was marred by a phony MERITORS* (MORTISER and STORMIER are the words in those letters). Richard's signature win was a decisive takedown of the fearsome Thomas Reinke, 421-366. His bingos there were DANGLES and DARTLES. Sadly, his success against Reinkes didn't extend to the other twin, as he was felled by Charles Reinke, 332-427. That was despite Richard holding Charles to zero bingos while playing three himself: DATEABLE, SWEARERS, and LENTOIDS.

1st Charles Reinke won his third straight club session with a 3-1 +409 outing. All three of his victories saw him surmount the 500-point barrier, leading to an average per-game score of 490 for the evening. His single loss was delivered to him by none other than Mark Kenas, 393-538. Mark used his 3+ decades of bingo study to blitz Charles with bonus plays, getting down PREGAME, EYESHOT, GRUNTER, and QUINOAS, while Charles was left with a single bingo of INVADERS. Revenge was served in round four as Charles reversed that result and then some, beating Mark 516-324. In between those two games, Charles unleashed his own ample reserves of bingo knowledge upon club founder Richard Lauder, playing an astonishing five bingos (CAVEATS, GATEPOST, INTARSIA, LENIENT and EVULSION) en route to a 534-321 victory.

2nd Thomas Reinke turned in yet another solid performance with a 3-1 +199 record. While accustomed to playing more bingos than his opponents in most games, Thomas subverted that expectation by beating Helen Flores 436-360 despite getting outbingoed two to one. Thomas only had GALLEINS in that game, compared to Helen's ETOILES and CAROUSES. In a later match against Dennis Lloyd, Thomas unsubverted that expectation by playing three bingos (FETATIONS, BARTEND, RESISTOR) to Dennis' one (LUNGERS) in a 469-352 triumph. Thomas fell short of a perfect record when he was bested by Mark Kenas, 377-448, finding himself unable to withstand Mark's barrage of scoring plays which included RATLINS, SERVANTS, and WAIRUAS#.
