>Quackle: AADGHOU 8D DOUGH +24 24
#note Froilan actually writes down his racks, and was kind enough to tell me what he had!
>New_Player_1: EINSTUW D6 WU. +7 7
#note While I was waiting, I kept thinking, "Boy, I hope he plays a D so I can dump WUD. But what if UNWIDEST is good? Maybe I don't want him to play a D so I'm not tempted to phony." And then of course he plays a D. Fortunately I wasn't foolish enough to play the phony.
>Quackle: AAAEINN 7G AA +12 36
>New_Player_1: AEINRST E5 SEN.RITA +89 96
#note Damn, he blocked HIARNETS. Someday I'll be cool enough to play like Nigel.
>Quackle: AEIINNT F5 IN +14 50
>New_Player_1: ABBMORT D12 BOMB +34 130
#note I woke up today and choice to make war, instead of art.
>Quackle: ACEEEIN 14A ANE.IC +32 82
>New_Player_1: AIJORST A12 JI.O +57 187
#note My streak of drawing the most incredibly perfect tiles for every situation continues.
>Quackle: EERSTVW 10D W.VER +19 101
#note Not sure why he played the R here. I can understand wanting to get rid of the V, but WIVE is clearly better, especially since it leaves the board more open.
>New_Player_1: ADIRSTY 13C Y. +20 207
#note Didn't know SATYRID. Probably will miss it again in a future tournament. Feel free to email me this link when I inevitably do miss it.
>Quackle: AEPPSTU 6H PUP +21 122
#note Froilan said he didn't know these bingoes. Can't say I know PASTEUP, but I definitely would not have missed PUPATES.
>New_Player_1: ADHIRST I5 D.H +21 228
#note Quackle thinks DUH is best, but in hindsight, I think blocking the 2x2 is better. My leave is still excellent, and even if Froilan bingoes, I'll still be ahead. Leaving the 2x2 gives him ample opportunity to close the gap.
>Quackle: AEIRSTT K5 RATITES +86 208
#note And sure enough ...
>New_Player_1: AEIQRST 8J Q. +11 239
#note I played this because I figured I was almost certainly going to bingo, assuming Froilan makes any play that even slightly opens the board.
>Quackle: AEGIINR H10 .ANGER +24 232
#note I think Froilan couldn't read his handwriting here. Highly unlikely this was his leave. Who knows.
>New_Player_1: ACEIRST 15G E.RATICS +61 300
#note I did see AGRESTIC, but somehow thought it didn't fit because of the C in ANEMIC. Little did I know playing ERRATICS would start a sequence that directly led to me winning the tournament based on spread.
>Quackle: IIU -EGIIUV +0 232
#note So first Froilan challenges. Given how rusty I am, I thought I was about to lose the challenge. Just hold on, kids. We're in for a wild ride.
>New_Player_1: EIKLMOV N10 KEVIL. +46 346
#note Lesson: Make sure your bingo leaves the S open for a monstrous score on your next turn.
>Quackle: DIIN O7 NIDI +21 253
>New_Player_1: ?GMOSXZ 14J ZaX +79 425
#note Lesson: Draw the Z and the blank so that you can score another 80 points.
>Quackle: ELLNOOR B9 NOLO +15 268
>New_Player_1: ?FGMOSY A8 FOY +34 459
#note Lesson: Don't worry about bingoing every turn. Sometimes, it's okay to miss one.
>Quackle: EEEELOR L3 LEE +8 276
>New_Player_1: ?FGLMSU 2L FUG +21 480
#note Lesson: Even if you do see MUGFuLs, it's okay not to play it. Scoring 600 would only hurt your opponent's feelings.
>Quackle: AEEEORT 3K A.TO +15 291
>New_Player_1: ?ALMOST J10 MOT +23 503
#note Lesson: Only at your last opportunity, when you don't actually have a bingo, should you waste everyone's time by trying to find one that fits next to KI.
