>Kevin_Leeds: ACEENRW 8G WE +10 10
#note This rack reminded me of a baseball player, Rod Carew - stole many bases and batted .400 nearly into August one season as I recall. I wondered if 'waner' is good but it's not. CANER is valid but not a good choice. WEANER, meaning 'one who weans', would have been better.
>John_Dalton: AIORRTT 7B TRAITOR +67 67
>Kevin_Leeds: ACEINRY 6G YINCE +28 38
#note missed CINERARY and NECTARY (didn't know these). Probably it was better to play off YA somewhere. This game I noticed John D. taking a lot of time it seemed, so that gave me some confidence I might not have had otherwise.
>John_Dalton: EGI 8A GIE +16 83
>Kevin_Leeds: ADJNOQR E6 Q.NDAR +32 70
#note According to Quackle (at least superficially) JORD(A)N keeping QA is preferable.
>John_Dalton: III -III +0 83
>Kevin_Leeds: GJNOOTW F9 OW +29 99
#note After this I was surprised that 2x2 with the E was sitting there for so long. John has managed to draw his bingo.
>John_Dalton: AEELRST 12C RESLATE +83 166
>Kevin_Leeds: EGJKNOT K3 JOK. +30 129
#note This was pretty easy to decide.
>John_Dalton: ACDEL 13I DECAL +25 191
>Kevin_Leeds: ?EFGGNT 12L TEGG +22 151
#note I don't really know why I decided to keep the F - Quackle says F(A)NG is best but I had decided that if I was going to keep a G then I had to keep the N too. So F(A)G or F(O)G would be better than TEGG then.
>John_Dalton: AY L4 YA +26 217
>Kevin_Leeds: ?BDFIMN J12 D.F +24 175
#note I was excited about D(E)F when I saw it left the two bingo lines open - I could get an ING bingo to the G or else use DEF+I hook to score at the other spot. Then I drew HLMBIN? and nearly ruptured myself trying to stay calm while John pondered which spot to use ...
>John_Dalton: HPT 15H PHT +32 249
>Kevin_Leeds: ?BHILMN O5 HuMBLIN. +95 270
>John_Dalton: ?EENRST A8 .ENTuRES +74 323
>John_Dalton: ?EENRST -- -74 249
#note 'gentures' had to be a time pressure mistake. Looks to me like GENITURE was misspelled. I broke a tournament rule by talking about the word GENITURE while going to adjudicate.
>Kevin_Leeds: AEINSUU A8 .UINEA +8 278
#note GUINEA was kind of an error, I could see it would be difficult to spot a bingo along the N row. But John noticed I'd made an S hook...
>John_Dalton: ?EENSTU 14A SEqUENT +74 323
>Kevin_Leeds: AOORSUX N3 ROUX +56 334
>John_Dalton: EIIORSV I5 I. +2 325
>Kevin_Leeds: AEIOPSZ 4C EPIZOAS +91 425
>Kevin_Leeds: AEIOPSZ -- -91 334
#note 'epizoas' is a too much more greedier than necessary. EPIZOA and AIN would have been a fine play. EPIZOOTY is the funniest word ever
>John_Dalton: DEIORSV 4C VOIDERS +77 402
>Kevin_Leeds: AEIOPSZ H1 IZA. +39 373
#note John has a 68 point lead now, and about 1:30 over on the clock. I have a nice rack and a nice Z play. How hopeful should I be? Quackle says IZA(R) is the best shot but I haven't told Quackle about the extra 20 points.
>John_Dalton: ALOV B2 OVAL +26 428
>Kevin_Leeds: AEMOOPS 1H .POMOEAS +89 462
#note Woo hoo! i am the king! This could be the first time I have ever used a 5 vowel 8 as an out bingo. Maybe not even on ISC. Sooo lucky ... If you count up the bingos here, I got 2 big ones, and John got 4 medium sized ones.
