>Fran_Silver: EORTU 8D ROUTE +12 12
#note This game is meaningless if Chris beats Orry (I finish 2nd regardless) but huge if Orry beats Chris (I finish 1st with a win, 3rd with a loss). They're sitting next to us and I'm using the back of my scoresheet to keep score in their game whenever either player makes a move...
Fran has a history of beating me in the final round of a tournament to cost me hundreds of dollars and when they posted the pairings before the tournament, I saw her listed as my final opponent and knew I was destined for the same fate as always...

>Fran_Silver: NRT H3 R.NT +12 91
>Matt_Canik: ??DDPRS 9H D.SPReaD +63 187
#note SPuDDeR is a word too.
No idea what to do here if I don't know that word. ZAP? Just play the bingo anyway? DR(I)P?
>Fran_Silver: E K3 E. +2 93
>Matt_Canik: AEGIMOO O6 GOO.IE +24 211
#note I knew this play was horrible when I made it. I wanted to play AMI(D)O to maybe bait an S on it or just play MOOE(D) and keep it tight, but I didn't for some reason. Don't play with fire, matt

Well folks, that is how you luck your way to winning a tournament: draw bingos on the first or second turn like every game and get a bunch of blanks
