>Eric_Goldstein: BDO 8G BOD +12 12
>Arie_Sinke: DFGKMNO 9H MONK +19 19
#note It looks like this is a slight error. FOG 9H for 17 wins the sim by 2 points. It probably comes down to leave - DKMN at least has some synergy, whereas DFG contains a G and is just a really poor leave in general. It's counterintuitive to give up points to keep 4 consonants instead of 3, but that appears to be called for here.
>Eric_Goldstein: ADHSY L9 SHADY +35 47
>Arie_Sinke: DEFGMOT K9 .EF +35 54
#note I think I autopiloted this and missed FEM K11 for 36, which is a fairly obvious improvement for both score and leave.
>Eric_Goldstein: IRW 13I WIR. +14 61
>Arie_Sinke: ADGMOTT 7H MAGOT +21 75
#note The defensive placement of MAGOT (my play, not 14F for 25) is the right choice here.
>Eric_Goldstein: FZ J12 F.Z +35 96
>Arie_Sinke: ?DINSTU M2 TUNDISh +76 151
#note This and bUNDIST are the only sevens that don't put a tile in row 1.
>Eric_Goldstein: DORW 4I DROW. +18 114
>Arie_Sinke: AEEEOTX 5J EXE. +49 200
#note Clearly best.
>Eric_Goldstein: IRUV 2J VIR.U +32 146
>Arie_Sinke: AEEEOTV O1 VEE +27 227
#note VETO in the same spot for 6 extra points is worth it. Apparently AEOT is not quite 6 points better than AEE - more like 4 points better.
>Eric_Goldstein: OORT 14F TROO. +21 167
>Arie_Sinke: ?AEGLOT 10B GLObATE +71 298
#note It did not occur to me that playing at 3C would score 1 more point.
>Eric_Goldstein: AJ 8M .AJ +27 194
>Arie_Sinke: AHILPRU 11D HILA +25 323
#note C8 PILULAR for 20 is probably a bit better to obstruct row 15.
>Eric_Goldstein: BN 6L N.B +18 212
>Arie_Sinke: EINPRSU O8 .UNIPERS +110 433
#note Very lucky draw.
>Eric_Goldstein: IN 15H IN +18 230
>Arie_Sinke: EILPRTY G13 P.Y +17 450
#note This is an extremely poor play - I need to find PYRITE 15A. I totally autopiloted this and erred. Spread mattered at this point in the tournament so I can't be complacent.
>Eric_Goldstein: AGL 15L GAL. +7 237
>Arie_Sinke: EILORST 12C LOT +20 470
#note This probably isn't terrible.
>Eric_Goldstein: AQU 13A QUA +28 265
>Arie_Sinke: CEEIIRS A13 .IS +36 506
#note This is fine.
>Eric_Goldstein: ACEEINT 3G TEE +9 274
>Arie_Sinke: ACEEEIR 4C CERIA +16 522
#note Playing ERICA 2C would force Eric to go out with the lower scoring ACING B6, netting 3 spread points.
>Eric_Goldstein: ACIN E1 CAI.N +14 288
>Eric_Goldstein: (EE) +4 292
