>Sean_Wrona: ADGINNR 8D DARNING +72 72
#note Quackle slightly prefers the G on the DLS to the D, although I'm not sure I understand why. Possibly because having the G on the double-double line threatens fewer bingos there than the A does?
>Mack_Meller: CIOY J6 YO.IC +25 25

>Sean_Wrona: ACGHIIO L1 CHIAO +39 137
#note For most of this tournament starting right here I recorded how much time I had left after each play to see how long it took for me to handle certain situations, so I'll put that in the comments when available.

>Sean_Wrona: ?AGPTUW 2B WAG +20 245
#note Quackle prefers PAW in the same spot and F13 UP. I definitely don't. UP basically shuts down the bottom left quadrant and PAW opens up a triple line he'll very likely take while offering me nothing in return. I also prefer the PTU? leave after WAG and think I'm more likely to bingo somewhere after that since I'm creating two lines while not blocking others. I do not believe this is an error.

#note 10:49 (1:18)
>Mack_Meller: OW F14 WO +26 343
>Sean_Wrona: ?AEOPSU F8 .EP +27 310
#note My first major error in the game (loss of 12.25% in winning percentage). I didn't see OPAQUES, but interestingly COUP actually simmed better and I can understand why. I should have at least seen that.

>Mack_Meller: ILNRST 15E N.STRIL +32 375
>Sean_Wrona: ?AMORSU 14I OM +22 332
#note More of the same and if I'd seen MORULAS I could have prevented him from playing...

3:18 (2:06)
>Mack_Meller: EIMNZ O7 MIZEN +55 430
>Sean_Wrona: ?ALNRSU A2 SoLUNAR +79 411
#note SLURBAN apparently makes it easier for me to come back since it sims slightly better and I sort of know that, but not well enough to automatically think of it.

2:50 (0:28)
>Mack_Meller: EFINORU 1L .OIF +27 457
>Sean_Wrona: EEEORTV N5 EVE +18 429
#note Saw REVET but chickened out. It didn't particularly matter at this point though. Still, this is much, much better than I usually play, but the errors are still fatal. Might have been able to actually beat him had I bingoed earlier.

Cumulative winning percentage loss via Quackle: 25.5%
Average winning percentage loss: 2.3%
Significant mistakes (3): REP (word-finding error/strategy error), OM (word-finding error), EVE (word knowledge error)

Anyway, I played this much better than usual strategically - just continued to not see things.
