>Jonathan_Lindh: ?IILNOS 8D NOISILy +64 64
#note 2024 Word Cup. Round 24. This game eventually became very tilt inducing.
>Alex_Jaech: GRT F6 GR.T +9 9
>Jonathan_Lindh: EEILNRT 6F .REENLIT +61 125
#note I tried and find a nice defensive bingo after a fishy play like GRIT and I found it...
>Alex_Jaech: AEFSSTT 10D FASTEST +72 81
#note ...And then this happens! The full tilt didn't start until later.
>Jonathan_Lindh: DJVWWXY L5 J.VY +21 146
#note Only play worth playing.
>Alex_Jaech: EFI D10 .IEF +20 101
#note Alex had this as something else and then switched it FIEF, blocking my X bomb.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADIRWWX C11 ARID +24 170
#note Well, I thought FIEF blocked my X bomb. I missed 11A RADIX for 44. ARID is more defensive at least.
>Alex_Jaech: IOPV M2 PIVO. +29 130
>Jonathan_Lindh: AMOPWWX L1 POX +28 198
#note Quackle likes 8L YAWP or YOMP the best, keeping the X. I kept the board tight and set up _MP plays to the triple word score. Scored as 25.
>Alex_Jaech: AEH 8L .EAH +30 160
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABEMRWW 9M WAE +26 224
#note Quackle likes 1G BEWRAP for 39 the best although WAE ranks pretty highly for it's defensive properties. WAE still keeps the M for _MP plays.
>Alex_Jaech: GOO B13 GOO +21 181
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABCIMRW 1H CRAM. +33 257
#note Quackle likes H1 CRAMBE for 45 the best, but CRAMP also has a lot of merit. CRAMP is a little better than CRIMP.
>Alex_Jaech: ABEIORT D1 REOBTAI. +72 253
#note Then this bingo comes down.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ABGILSW C3 WAIL +32 289
#note Best. I debated a long time between WAIL and WAILS. I thought the S had a little value here.
>Alex_Jaech: EQUY 1A QUE.Y +51 304
#note This play was VERY tilt inducing as this was one of the few places Alex could score. If only I could have played a 5 underlapping REOBTAIN and then QUERY never would have happened. Alex also said he picked up the blank after QUERY, so I was probably toast no matter what.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BCGKNNS J1 .CK +15 304
#note Something like 11B KAIN for 20 would have worked out better for me, although Alex still would bingoed on row 11.
>Alex_Jaech: DOU A1 .UOD +16 320
#note When this play came down, I immediately thought of QUODLIBET. QUODLIBET is possible with the unseen pool.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEGNNST N1 BES +30 334
#note BES sims best.
>Alex_Jaech: DN E10 .ND +18 338
>Jonathan_Lindh: DGNNNTU 3G GUN. +12 346
#note Trading all the letters but a consonant is probably called for here, but Alex had the blank after all so I was sunk here, and we had the scores as me being down by 7 instead of 4. Accurate scoring matters.
>Alex_Jaech: ?EHILRU B5 HaULIER +73 411
#note Both HAULIERs are 100% to win. HAULIER in 2 spots is the only playable bingo.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADMNNOT A7 NAM +27 373
#note 2F MA for 13 is better than my play by 3 points. I didn't see F2 ZA for 34.
>Alex_Jaech: AEEZ 2F ZA +34 445
#note Wasn't happy to see this come down, but as I said, it's a 3 point mistake in an unwinnable game.
>Jonathan_Lindh: DNOT O1 OD +28 401
#note Best.
>Alex_Jaech: EE J10 .EE +3 448
#note None of us saw G6 RESET for 13 in the postgame.
>Alex_Jaech: (NT) +4 452
#note Final score recorded as 452-398. This should have been my 7th 400+ point loss of the tournament. The Jim Sherrill game might be #8 but I haven't looked at that one yet.
