This news reports on the first games of the 2010-2011 season. As the
season begins, everyone's rating is carried over and boosted by 10 points.
Wins, losses, and averages start over. You have to play 20 games in the
season to be eligible for a high-above-average accolade. Averages shown
in parentheses are from last season.

At the 18-game tourney in Dover, DE a couple of weekends ago:
 In 22-player Div. 2: Judy C. (seeded 19th) won based on being about
                      140 spread points ahead of the 2nd place finisher.
                      Bob B. was 7th. which was his seed position
 In 22-player Div. 3: Susan (seeded 15th) was 7th,
                      Betsey was in the lower half

At last weekend's 20-game tourney in Portland, ME:
 In 20-player Div. 1: Joey won, Evans 2nd, Jere 3rd, Seth 7th,
                      John O. 8th, Brad W. 9th,
                      lower half: Cecilia, Jon S., Kate, Richard, Mic
 In 20-player Div. 2: Bob B. 4th, Thomas 5th,
                      lower half: Judy C., Betsey, Norma

CDLREOU forms one word, and if you don't know this rack, you can
make some guesses, and your first ones will likely be wrong.

CLRSEOU forms two words, and if you don't know this rack, you will
likely find only one of these words, but your first guesses at the
other word will likely be wrong.

There are 6 5-letter words which begin with CHIR. You certainly know
at least one of these; it could be that is the only one you know.

What is the 7-letter word using TRAUMA plus an A?
