1st Thomas Reinke was tops again in a reduced field of three players, going 3-1 +580. Utilizing the near-total lack of external distractions to achieve a state of "Scrabble Zen", he played four bingos (OUTRATE, REGRINDS, ANOXIAS, and HEREUPON) in a win against Sara McLaughlin where the final score was an oustanding [undisclosed] to [redacted]. However, his state of Scrabble Zen was sadly turned into a state of Scrabble Despair when he was taken down by Charles Reinke, 432-460, despite Thomas' bingos of NAUTILI, ELECTRUM, and INTEGRAL. The winning side got down EXTRUDES and ENFORCES. A subsequent 431-358 win over that same opponent restored much-needed balance to the world.
