>W: ABCDFII 7F FIB +16 16
#note Almost did 7J BIFID, but it's hard to imagine the BIFIDA hook ever staying open. Also considered ACIDIFY. I'm fine with FIB.

#note AXE is fine, but shoutout to B2 JANE for beautifully setting up C1 QOPH.

#note I realized a turn too late that TOPOI isn't that much worse than TOPI for preventing bingos. Yes, TOPOI allows sevens starting with F, N, S, or T, but TOPI allows bingos starting with R and there's three of them unseen. TOPI does have the added advantage of retaining ZENDO B2, but in practice, I never actually get that play because I'll have to respond to Benjy's board openings.
>Benjy: FO M8 OF +21 355
>W: DEOOWYZ 8L ..WD +27 375
#note N4 OOZED is really interesting. It scores much better than GOWD, blocks Benjy's opening without giving up a wide-open floater the way GOWD does, and sets up a huge scoring spot for my WY leave - I just have to live with Benjy sometimes firing off a bingo with S in 1st position.
>Benjy: AEHIRRS 5D HA +25 380
>W: AEOORYZ O6 ZE.OARY +24 399
#note I actually saw B3 ANY and B2 ZONE here, both of which are nice setups, but I decided I would feel pretty stupid making a clever setup and then getting bingoed on through the D.
>Benjy: EIILRRS 12K RILE. +16 396
>W: NOTU 13L TON +14 413
>Benjy: IRS J4 SRI +13 409
#note Ouch...I lose to F13 SIR. Time pressure definitely a factor...sorry Benjy.
