>Kevin_Leeds: OOW 8F WOO +12 12
#note Didn't record racks this game. Highlights of this game: We each had a phony bingo. At the end Player 2 emptied the bag but then had to play the Q, so I got to go out in 2. I came out ahead 471-391 by our score.
>Shelley_Ubeika: EHX 9E HEX +43 43
#note WOO seems to sim a tiny bit better on 8F over 8H
>Kevin_Leeds: ACEN 7F ACNE +33 45
#note Nice combination of tiles to study - Cs are tricky
>Shelley_Ubeika: AGIO 10G AGIO +20 63
>Kevin_Leeds: ABDERSS K5 BARDESS +96 141
#note There's BRASSED and SERDABS playable. I thought I remembered this from before - apparently forgot it was phony though, sorry!
>Shelley_Ubeika: ADMR J3 DRAM +27 90
#note It was almost impossible to figure out what happened here since my scoresheet says PRAM for 27, and then later a D appears out of nowhere. But with my great Scoresheet Detective Brain I put it back together. It would be easier if I could write more clearly.
>Kevin_Leeds: EFHILNS I9 F.L +10 151
#note Seems my rack might've been EFHILNS. In that case Quackle says I'm fishing too hard, and should take 28 points using the COXA+E hook.
>Shelley_Ubeika: EIMNNTU 3C UNMINTE. +76 166
#note This is phony but REMINTED is good.
>Kevin_Leeds: EEHIINS 12D HEINIES +79 230
>Shelley_Ubeika: AFIN 4C NAIF +29 195
>Kevin_Leeds: ?TUZ H1 pU.Z +66 296
>Shelley_Ubeika: AA 11D AA +13 208
>Kevin_Leeds: RT 6J ..RT +6 302
#note Now obviously I have too many consonants. There was no miracle play so I went fast and just picked a move, since I started to think too long.
>Shelley_Ubeika: EGIR 8K .IRGE +24 232
>Kevin_Leeds: TY E3 ..TY +18 320
>Shelley_Ubeika: ADGILOU O1 DIALOGU. +83 315
>Kevin_Leeds: ENV 2L NEV. +14 334
#note Vs are a real challenge, I had many games this tournament where a V got in the way with big consonants. If I were really good I'd plan better for a V landing in my rack, by keeping the board more open.
>Shelley_Ubeika: AJ L4 JA. +25 340
>Kevin_Leeds: ?IORSTV 1B OVeRTI.S +59 393
#note anagram for this is SORPTIVE
>Shelley_Ubeika: COP 6B COP. +17 357
>Kevin_Leeds: KP M1 K.P +18 411
>Shelley_Ubeika: ELOO 13J OLEO +10 367
#note sadly for Shelley she got the Q while I was holding the U
>Kevin_Leeds: BDELRUY D10 B.. +8 419
#note Here my scoresheet is very hard to make out, it looks like a squiggle with an I after it, for 48 points, increasing my score from 411 to 419 - something going wrong with my pen. This is most consistent with the score and tracking - I noted the tiles left in Shelley's rack (EETTW) so the B had to be somewhere. And she played the I ...
>Shelley_Ubeika: EEIQTTW 2A QI +26 393
>Kevin_Leeds: DELRUY 14E RUDELY +36 455
#note The correct score is 34
Apparently the idea I had was to play the B and see if maybe I could play out after that, so this time the endgame worked. Most of my games the endgame is a mess, you'll see if you keep looking!
>Kevin_Leeds: (EETTW) +16 469
