>Joshua_Sokol: EEJLRTV 6G J.VER +17 87
#note I failed to record my racks this game. These are my best guesses. I began attempting to seize the board here at the expense of my rack leave.

#note In my game against Nigel Richards in Buffalo 2014, he played FORMICA at 1G, and I wondered if I could extend it with a -TE. I checked and the only valid extension was -RY.

So initially when I saw F(OR)MICATE# I decided that I was not going to overtly phony, cause that would just be mean. But I saw this anagram and I thought there was a chance it was valid.

I didn't remember if I checked FORMICA?? in "pattern match" in Zyzzyva or "anagram match", so there was a chance I didn't check if FORMICATE had an anagram.
>Paul_Wigley: AH A8 AH. +18 54
>Joshua_Sokol: AHNOQRT B6 QAT +34 231
>Paul_Wigley: DEIKNNS J8 UTS +24 78
>Paul_Wigley: DEIKNNS -- -24 54
#note here I did feel bad challenging this off, because I realized ACETIFORM* was probably not a word. But there was a small chance it was still, and an even smaller chance that it was and that it was an adjective form.
>Joshua_Sokol: HINORSW 3I WHO +30 261
>Paul_Wigley: DSTU L6 STUD +22 76
>Joshua_Sokol: IINNRRS C5 RIN +18 279
>Paul_Wigley: ?EGLOSS 12C GOaL.ESS +68 144
#note Other RIN at 11C would have blocked GLOSS(I)ER/GLOSS(I)ES
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ILNRSU E4 SpIRUL.N. +78 357
#note this was my best play of the tournament. Thank you health food for teaching me like 10 Scrabble words that should never come in handy like this one.

The other bingo isn't like SPIRULINA. It's different.
>Paul_Wigley: EZ J12 .EZ +32 176
>Joshua_Sokol: EKU D3 KUE +20 377
#note no idea what I had here. Definitely two more vowels though
>Paul_Wigley: CDU 3A DUC. +22 198

>Paul_Wigley: ERW 13J .WER +14 236
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEIMOX 13B BOX +39 474
#note I realized this was not a good play. I wanted to hit another bingo but that was very unlikely. fishing for (T)OXAEMIA was silly though. Anyways this gives too much back, I should have just gone for something at 1G. Quackle says EXAM. Sure.
