>Josh_Sokol: AALPRTZ H4 PLAZA +38 38
#note Word Cup Round 23
>Matthew_Larocque: ACDEIOR I7 ADO +21 21
#note No bingos, but I missed COA(L)IER 2x2 for 36.
>Josh_Sokol: DNORSTU J1 ROTUNDS +76 114
#note My gut said ROTUND didn't take an S, but I was such a chicken challenging words this tourney. I lost a turn challenging DIAZOS previously so maybe that factored into it here.
>Matthew_Larocque: ACEIIRS 1H CI.RI +24 45
#note Either (R)ACIER or CAR(L)I(N)E. I was playing with a quick pace all tourney for some reason which was kinda good in a way. I may have played some turns iffily early on, but I had more time at the end to play better.
>Josh_Sokol: ?AEEEJO G3 JOE +24 138
>Matthew_Larocque: AADEERS K5 AE +11 56
#note There is a 44 point play here!?
>Josh_Sokol: ?AEEEIO -UUUV +0 138
#note exchange eeio
>Matthew_Larocque: ?ADEQRS -Q +0 56
#note AER(OP)A(U)SE last turn. This turn I really didn't think to make the blank a U? Not even for a second? That's brutal.
>Josh_Sokol: ?AEEMTU L6 EMUlATE +72 210
#note L4 AMpUTEE #findingsaddest
>Matthew_Larocque: ?ADENRS 11E RANDiES. +82 138
#note Now there is a 10 letter bingo in the same spot! aNDR(OP)A(U)SE!
>Josh_Sokol: AGHNRTV F10 V.NG +16 226
>Matthew_Larocque: AEFILUW 10J WE.L +30 168
#note I liked that this opened up a spot, but (D)WALE is 39. How come I didn't know (D)WALE???
>Josh_Sokol: ACEGHRT 8K A.GHT +27 253
>Matthew_Larocque: AEFIIUW 3J .UFA +14 182
#note Dunno why I didn't think of WAIF although this already looks like a lost game, really.
>Josh_Sokol: ACEORSV O1 OVERCAS. +92 345
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIINTW H11 .WINE +39 221
>Josh_Sokol: BGILOQX 15F OB.LI +7 352
>Matthew_Larocque: EIORSTT 4F T.. +5 226
#note Seemed like this was my best shot to reduce spread but what do I know.
>Josh_Sokol: GHIQTUX 14J QI +62 414
>Matthew_Larocque: EIIORST N8 .O +5 231
#note If I'm gonna fish TORIES is still better not sure what compelled me to do this.
>Josh_Sokol: GHNOTUX M12 XU +27 441
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIIRST 12F .E. +8 239

#note HOY(A) also seems to block just as conclusively. GYO(ZAS) almost as conclusively. This might still be OK because it keeps (WEAL)TH 10J and scoring tiles.
After NO(EL) he can have (but not necessarily due to the nature of his fish:
8A BROMELI(AD)
8A BEDSPRE(AD)
8A SPEEDRE(AD)
7A LESPEDE(ZAS)
After HOY(A) he can have:
8A BROMELI(AD)
8A BEDSPRE(AD)
8A SPEEDRE(AD)
E2 PEST(H)OLE
After GYO(ZAS) he can have:
E2 MISBE(G)OT
E2 BESIE(G)ED
E2 BESIE(G)ER
E1 PRESTI(G)E
>Matthew_Larocque: EFIIRST 13C FRI. +16 255
#note Scores 19 at M5.
>Josh_Sokol: EGHINTY 6D GEY +31 482
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIRSTY 4L EYE. +29 284
#note I actually had a bingo here, ESTERI(F)Y!
>Josh_Sokol: DHIKNPT 6N K. +16 498
>Matthew_Larocque: BILORST 7B BLOTS +21 305
#note 12A BRIO. I had a feeling an I was in the bag too, so maybe BRITS is better.
>Josh_Sokol: DHIMNPT 8A PI +16 514
#note Oh my goodness. (B)I is 52 points better on spread here because he's I-stuck. I play HM/HI at any point. #endgamesaddest
