>Bob_Linn: AY 8G YA +10 10
>Steve: HIIPRSU F8 PIU +15 15
#note Q prefers the I8 placement. Meh.
>Bob_Linn: ?BELNST H8 .BLuENTS +80 90
>Steve: EHIRSTW 15H .WITHERS +104 119
#note Thought it looked familiar and gave it a go. Bob challenged pretty quickly, raising doubts.
>Bob_Linn: FHORT - +0 90
#note It's good!
>Steve: CDELNOO N10 COLDE. +30 149
#note How many bingos did I miss? Let me count the ways. . . 1, 2, 3.
>Bob_Linn: FHORRST G3 FROTH. +23 113
>Steve: ALMNOTU 14H .AM +26 175
>Bob_Linn: FKNY 11G F.NKY +28 141
>Steve: DLNORTU 6E UN.OLD +13 188
#note Another missed bingo. At least this one's a tough find. Second best is a nice 2x2 for 32.
>Bob_Linn: ?CEIMTV E5 V.M +16 157
#note Bob told me after the game that I blocked a big 2x2 bingo of VICOMTES. Not sure what letter the blank in his rack would have represented. Of course, playing the bingo last turn also would have accomplished that.
>Steve: AEEIRTU J10 U.E +9 197
>Bob_Linn: ?ACEIST D7 ACETInS +76 233
>Steve: AEIIRRT H1 RIA +14 211
#note This is the third game I'm quackling from the tournament, and my fifth or sixth missed bingo. Have I mentioned that I suck, yet? Maybe now people will start to believe me.
>Bob_Linn: EIJV J2 JIVE. +32 265
>Steve: EEIIRTZ 10B ZI. +32 243
>Bob_Linn: AORW 2J .OWAR +30 295
>Steve: DEEIORT B5 EROTI.ED +70 313
#note This one I just almost missed.
>Bob_Linn: AEGRT 1K GATER +34 329
>Steve: AAAGGOS 3L AGA +25 338
>Bob_Linn: BDEILNO A6 OBI +27 356
>Steve: AGNOOSU M13 ON. +14 352
#note I was aware the Q was a big factor here, and that he was likely to have it.
>Bob_Linn: P J9 P... +10 366
#note While I was pretty sure he had the monster before, I'm positive of it now.
>Steve: AEO 9H .O. +8 360
#note Don't have my exact rack, but it's mandatory to block.
>Bob_Linn: DEILNQ C2 LEND +13 379
#note Another set up. I'm under 30 seconds on my clock, but realize I just have to keep blocking for the win.
>Steve: AEEGSUX D2 AXE +35 395
#note Surprised to find the X as the last tile in the bag. Somehow find the 'best' play.
>Bob_Linn: INQ 2C ..IN +6 385
#note Seeing Bob play off everything except the Q gave me false confidence that there was nothing left to fear.
>Steve: EGSU F1 E. +2 397
#note I originally put down the G at 13L and said "Five." Bob then immediately slapped down the Q at 1E and said "11 and out." Since I had never hit the clock I was able to take back my play and make the obvious block, although blocking with the U is superior.
>Bob_Linn: Q - +0 385
>Steve: GSU 13L G.. +5 402
>Bob_Linn: Q - +0 385
>Steve: SU 9M US +13 415
#note Plays for an extra point at B1. I lost 10 points on time.
>Steve: (Q) +20 435
