#note Leave was either NTS or NNT. It honestly eludes me.

#note Oh so tempted to exchange here but this is the beginning of the tournament when I didn't suck.

#note There's two T-Ts with S's in them open, otherwise EMCEES might possibly be worth consideration for defense.
>Sara_Corbin: GIP 15J GIP. +10 148
#note This annihilates the left side of the board.
>Matt_Zeleznik: CEIMORR O11 O.MIC +27 168
#note Didn't see CO[S]IER here. It edges out my play on a sim, probably because of the putrid double R and the fact I will be needing to go through an E to bingo. It also keeps the M for IS[M] possibilities, which I knew I needed but still couldn't generate COSIER.
Tactics+Vision saddest.
>Sara_Corbin: AY 10J YA +31 179
>Matt_Zeleznik: ABORRUU 6I ARBOUR +15 183
#note What is the point of ABU[T] besides 6 extra points?
Does ORRU really have a future?
I wanted to blow this rack open as much as possible.
But maybe that's recklesss giving her the easy 7s lane?
>Sara_Corbin: EILOOS O1 LOOIES +30 209
>Matt_Zeleznik: DHIORUU 4K HOUR. +16 199
#note No idea what to do here, everything sucks.
HUB just isn't anything. Just lets J,Q,Z plays down from the L column? I have to draw perfectly for DIORU to turn into something.
I think HOUR[I] is the least terrible, because it creates another line and I will likely be second to bingo so I will need it.
>Sara_Corbin: IKN 2L KIN. +16 225
>Matt_Zeleznik: DDHQRTU -QUDDR +0 199
#note Okay finally to where I tanked!
I generate a whopping total of two plays here QU[AG] and exchanging down to TH
Didn't even consider keeping QU. And no way is it possible for my wimpy crossword self to spy 9L H[E]RD either. I drained every ounce of my clock time here and might have been more productive If I had left and shouted into a toilet for 5 minutes.

#note Why do I get rewarded for that dumbshow
>Sara_Corbin: AEL H1 LEA +20 268
>Matt_Zeleznik: AGILMNY 4B GAY +26 308
#note I guess it's just Matt-plays-anything now.
I honestly don't understand why the G is so much better than keeping M for H[M] underlaps, but it's for pure synergy with the N I think.
I wanted to block the E lane but then II quickly ruled out any plays up there. Poor kid.
>Sara_Corbin: Q C3 Q.. +24 292
>Matt_Zeleznik: ILMNNNR 2E LIN. +6 314
#note Getting hopelessly low on time now -- I think under 4 minutes.
Saw only RATIONA[L] when I looked for bingos in this junk pool so I wanted to block, but still keep my M for H[M] and IS[M] when scoring becomes abysmal. I realized I'm setting up disaster plays with the Z to A1 with this, but only the A and the blank overlap the L so how likely is that? I thought I would need a bailout spot for it because I didn't think I could weather -20.
Sheer miracle that my play wins the simulation, because I generated nothing else.

#note The roller coaster of emotions starts.
