>Paul_Lund_Jr: ?ACDEIR H4 CARrIED +74 74
#note I was already on tilt coming into this game and this really did not help
>Evan_Chester: EELNNSU 5E ULN.E +10 10
#note Best
>Paul_Lund_Jr: HOY G9 HOY +25 99
>Evan_Chester: AEEGNSS 4H .AGES +18 28
#note Did not know SENEGAS. This play sucks
>Paul_Lund_Jr: APY F10 YAP +36 135
>Evan_Chester: DELNPRS K2 PR.LENDS +72 100
#note I got so annoyed when E3 PLUNDERS got blocked that I decided to just string together the most phonetically plausible word through the E and pray it stayed cuz I figured I was sunk if I didn't bingo immediately. This is in fact, not a word. Don't think this was held.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: ?AIRSTV 13C VARSITy +79 214
#note And I'm back to where I was before, great. Scored as 77
>Evan_Chester: EFIORRW 8K .OWER +30 130
#note E11 FOR scores the best but I need the space. Probably a more stylistic play to make the board as open as possible at a deficit. My win % is single digit regardless
>Paul_Lund_Jr: ENTV N6 EV.NT +12 226
#note Annoyingly good block
>Evan_Chester: BFIJORS D12 J.B +24 154
#note Sets up case S but the correct way to do that is E11 FORB. Missed the spot, very costly.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: KNOT 6B KNOT +20 246
>Evan_Chester: FINORSX H13 .IX +30 184
#note O1 FORNIX. Didn't know the word. I hated my play but couldn't find a better use of my X, although O4 FOX is def better.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: TUZ 2K .UTZ +30 276
>Evan_Chester: FINOORS 4B FOIN +17 201
#note Another horrible play. Probably worth parting with the S here as it's prospects for setups are bad. 15A FOISON is best for that but I didn't know it. FOOS would have been the play I'd have made if I was thinking correct strategically.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: EW J6 WE +28 304
>Evan_Chester: AEEIORS 3M OAR +21 222
#note Not good but I'm pretty much sunk at this point.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: ACDEH M10 ACHED +24 328
>Evan_Chester: EEIMQRS 10L Q.. +12 234
#note A3 QIS scores much better but kills the top right which I can maaaaaaaaaybe turn into something. I can also hit bingos starting with RES on the O column but that'd require a miracle
>Paul_Lund_Jr: BIMOT L12 OBIT +31 359
>Evan_Chester: EEFIMRS 3B EM +21 255
#note I have no explanation for why I didn't play FEM in this spot other than I was tilted.
>Paul_Lund_Jr: DEMO 2B DEMO +33 392
>Evan_Chester: EFGIIRS K11 IF +19 274
#note 15A GIFS would have been great to score and maybe threaten a miracle -ING bingo. I was not playing logically at this point though
>Paul_Lund_Jr: AAGLL 1D ALGAL +28 420
>Evan_Chester: EGIRSTU 15A GUISE +35 309
>Paul_Lund_Jr: AEIINOU 14J ON..IA +18 438
>Paul_Lund_Jr: AEIINOU -- -18 420
#note Paul told me that he had seen this before from being a biology teacher and also knew of CONIDIA and GONIDIA. I had nothing to lose from challenging and it looked weird.
>Evan_Chester: RT D6 .RT +4 313
#note N1 TZAR. Overall bad game for me. Had 3 very bad misses, 2 of which I didn't know (FORNIX and SENEGAS) and 1 I did (FORB). Paul did a great job at playing defense and scoring at the same time, and I flopped pretty hard. Not a great tournament for me but hopefully I can bounce back in Albany later this month.
