#player1 Saint Saint
#player2 Carl Carl
>Saint: EGL 8G LEG +8 8
>Carl: CDEILOR G5 COL.IDER +63 63
#note H2 RECOILED is best (-2). Saint had spent about 5 minutes on this play and I played fast to put pressure on him in the endgame.
>Saint: AELPRRT 11E PR.ALTER +90 98
>Carl: BDOOPTW 6F B.WPOT +21 84
>Saint: ADIV 5K AVID +20 118
>Carl: DEEINOS L7 INDO.SEE +70 154
>Saint: EMTU 8K U.MET +21 139
>Carl: BDGIKVZ 13I BIK.D +30 184
>Saint: ANOSX 15H AXONS +50 189
>Carl: FGTVYYZ 10K F.GY +24 208
#note Quackle takes the points with FOZY (-2)
>Saint: AEH F9 HA.E +21 210
>Carl: IIQTVYZ 14F ZIT +34 242
#note This sims evenly with VIZI(ER) 12B, which I didn't see. I kind of like the defensiveness of this play, especially given my less than stellar leave.
>Saint: EW 12D WE.. +18 228
>Carl: IIIQTVY -IIIQTV +0 242
#note UGH! I forgot about TWEER+. TIVY C12 is clearly best. (-20)
>Saint: ENT 13C TEN +16 244
>Carl: ?AENSUY 7A UNSAfE.Y +74 316
#note I had kept the Y on the exchange for N6, but had noticed row 7 as a possible bingo lane as well. This makes four consecutive exchanges against Saint that led to bingos.
>Saint: ?AALMNN C3 cLAN.MAN +70 314
>Carl: AGJQRUV A6 Q.AG +42 358
#note Another good option here is JUG, retaining the QU combo to hit that vowel-heavy bag. My play wins the sim, but I think I like JUG a little better.
>Saint: HOO 4A HO.O +22 336
>Carl: CJORUUV N2 CRU.O +20 378
#note I spent forever and still made an absolutely terrible play. The right word is JUCO 4H. Actually, A1 OUCH wins the sim by a mile, but I'll never be nimble enough to see it. JUCO seems obvious in retrospect, and I seem to remember seeing it too. It scores more and gives less back. I wish my brain were smart enough not to do dumb things.
>Saint: AEFIRRS 5B F.IR +21 357
#note CRUDO should have cost me the game, but Saint threw it right back to me. He only had a little time left and in the heat of the moment, he talked himself out of FARRIERS.
>Carl: EIJOTUV 3J JIVE. +30 408
#note Correct sequence is JIVE followed by TOUR 3K our OUT B9. I was solving these things correctly on Day 1, but my brain fell apart as the tournament progressed.
>Saint: AEIIRS 10A SI.E +21 378
>Carl: OTU 4I TO +11 419
#note IT G4, blocking RIA (-6)
>Saint: AIR 15D RIA +15 393
>Saint: (U) +2 395
