>Gary: CKRTU 8H TRUCK +32 32
#note 7 people attended Scrabble club, so I played two games at once for the first three rounds; then Scott left, so I only played one in the final round. In this first round, I played Gary and Scott.

#note I didn't notice how many Es were unseen (I may have been pretty behind in my tracking for this game at this point), but might've chosen to play this regardless.
>Gary: IIIII -IIIII +0 282
>Noah: CEFGLTU E8 GU.F +16 349
#note There are some other options here: FIG, FUG 6H, and LUETIC 11G. The CELTU may be a bit weaker than usual here, but still has some potential, e.g. LEUCITE. This seems good to block. FUG also blocks, but not as well as this does. I don't think I saw any of the other options, though - was pretty time-pressured in both games.
>Gary: OV 8C VO. +8 290
>Noah: CEEEHLT 1K EH +23 372
#note Maybe this should have been a blocking play. TELCO keeps a weird-looking leave, especially with the vowel-heavy pool, but EEH doesn't seem so bad here. HEN is probably a better choice, though - the sim details say TELCO only reduce his bingo chances by about .3% compared to HEN, while HEN gives me some decent bingo chances next turn. I'm not sure what's better between HEN and EH.
>Gary: DEIIRST 5B DIRTIES +76 366
>Noah: ACEELTU 4C LEU +14 386
#note LUETIC plays once again! I still didn't see it, and, again, didn't think very deeply about the turn.

>Gary: AAEIOTT 11G TAO +10 386
>Noah: BEEIMST 6C BEET +23 437
#note Managed to make by far the best endgame play here, per Champ, sort of by accident, as, in-game, I didn't look much at the possibilities in the position.
>Gary: AEITZ 1F ZI. +19 405
>Noah: IMS 10M MIS +12 449
#note Gary set me up for MISE 3E. We ended the game with a final score of 435-405, since I went over by a minute and change.
>Noah: (AET) +6 455
