1st Bryan Benwitz averaged a hefty 493 points per game en route to a 3-1 +478 record, enabled mainly by a pair of 500-point games which each, coincidentally, had Bryan winning by 266 points. The first 266-point win was against Sara McLaughlin, 540-274. Bryan inflicted some serious damage with his bingo trio of SEEDING, BUNNIES, and UNMIXED. The second 266-point win came against Helen Flores, this time by a score of 551-285. Bryan managed to up his bingo output by getting down four such plays: CRADLER, DAUTIES, LIFESPAN, and SIGNAGES. A 430-551 loss against Charles Reinke was the only blemish on an otherwise flawless scoresheet, and even in that game, Bryan bingoed three times (OUTLANDS, PIKEMAN, and AVIATORS).

2nd Charles Reinke also went 3-1, but his "meager" +194 point spread fell well short of first place. He enjoyed a tightly-fought victory against Dennis Lloyd, 380-359, where each player got down a single bingo (PEDICLE for Charles, GADGETS for Dennis). A 551-430 win against Bryan Benwitz significantly buoyed Charles' spread, and also netted him word of the week with the two-C, two-U CADUCOUS, which means "detaching or dropping off at an early stage of development", used of plants. Charles' single loss came at the identical-looking hand of his brother, Thomas Reinke, by a score of 310-415.

1st Charles Reinke enjoyed a 4-1 +353 record on a night where none of his opponets managed to score above 400. His single loss came in round one to Dennis Lloyd as part of a two-on-one match; the painf of a 379-395 loss to Dennis was partially assuaged by a simultaneous 444-309 win against Bryan Benwitz. Of note, Charles' only bingo against Dennis was a phony MYCETES* (MYCELES is a word, as are MYXOMYCETES and ASCOMYCETES), while Dennis hismelf had two perfectly valid bingos (PESKIER and ENTREAT). Charles would go on to play his brother Thomas in rounds two and four, and miraculously emerge victorious from both scuffles (miraculous because of Thomas' recent dominance over his brother). Charles' bingos in those two matches included some low-probability finds like ELKHOUND and BLIGHTER.

2nd Bryan Benwitz went 3-1 +220 and averaging a club-best 438 per game across his four games. His aforementioned loss against Charles Reinke was agonizingly bingoless, but was immediately followed up by a 406-361 win against Helen Flores where a late QI for 31 proved to be a significant boon for Bryan. Even bigger boons were to be found in the next game as Bryan utterly obliterated Thomas Reinke by a score of 602-367. In addition to being the eighth feather in his "600+ points" cap (a cap which he has promised to model for us at our next meeting), it was his ninth time getting five bingos in a game. In this instance, the bingos were UNINSTAL, COLLAGES, POTHEAD, INTORTS, and ERUPTIVE. Reports that Thomas was able to bingo with REWIRES and WAVERING, putting the total bingo count for the game at seven, are unsubstantiated at this time.

1st Bryan Benwitz went 3-1 +306 to capture first place in the weekly standings. He was held to a low score of 326, nearly 100 points below his yearly average, in a loss against Sara McLaughlin (who scored 332 and played the only bingo of the game, PANINIS). However, Bryan internalized the anguish he felt from that poor showing and turned it into a pair of 500-point games, 514-283 against Dennis Lloyd and 503-425 against Thomas Reinke. Bryan played a total of seven bingos in that two-game stretch: RENEGADO, RUSTICS, OPIATES, AGONISES, PROTEIDE, UNWOOED, and ENTRAINS.

2nd Thomas Reinke went 3-1 +278, with his fourth-round loss to Bryan Benwitz being the only thing holding him back from an undefeated record. He notched his second-highest scoring game of this shorter-than-usual club season by defeating Helen Flores with a score of 563, playing bingos of MITIGATES, OCTAVES, and TINDERS in the process. Both Dennis Lloyd (424-463) and Charles Reinke (390-426) put up valiant fights against Thomas and his frenzy of bingos, but neither succeeded in felling him.

Dennis Lloyd got word of the week with SUCCORS, proving that having two C's doesn't always succ.
