>Richard_Popper: AHLOR 8D HORAL +24 24
>Joshua_Sokol: EFX G7 F.X +25 25
#note that one tourney game where I don't have my racks. But you can easily see where I went wrong just from the plays I made and the word knowledge I lack

I chose this over EX for a lot more to limit scoring options. However it seemed that I should have gone for EX considering his next play.

>Richard_Popper: ?MRSTTU I2 MUTTeRS +69 125
#note agonizing. I was pretty sure HORAL didn't take an S but I was in a position where I basically needed to be sure. Fuck.

>Joshua_Sokol: CIINOPT B1 T.P +9 307
#note I had mistracked a U for an E here.

I thought this was cute to set up ICON for a lot to outrun. I could also just play ICON now. However the C was super useful seeming with CHORALS there and in a complicated and close endgame.
>Richard_Popper: DEVW F10 W.VED +24 332
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CIIINO 14C ImI. +4 311
#note this looked very dubious now. I thought he had BREE(D)S and I needed to block that and save ICON for after, hoping he doesn't block or that CONI will be enough. No time left.
>Richard_Popper: BERSU 15A RUSE +19 351
#note however he just has BURSE, and also SUB(E)R, and RUBE 13A that just flat outrun everything. Or he can block with US or ES. Those are his 5 wins. He had time, but lucky for me he thought this should be enouggh
>Joshua_Sokol: CINO A1 ICON +39 350
