#note Interesting decision. Certain plays that are valued higher like 6A OXY, N9 TROUT, and N9 LUX give back massive counterplay and are probably not worth playing at this scoreline. My idea with exchanging is that if I can draw and A, E, or I, I'll have over 40 points with my X that I can do very little with on this turn. While most of the tiles I'm putting back in the bag are good for bingoing in isolation, together they don't do much at all and the board is pretty dead. There is a play worth making though, N6 ROTL for 20. I didn't see it during the game and I do think exchanging has merit, not a clear cut position and I'm curious how better players than myself would handle it.

#note What a draw. I felt the need to address the pretty clear S setup here.

#note Best, tied with 9L BELT

#note My first genuinely well played game of the tournament. ABLY was the only sizable mistake I made all game and while I had smaller misses here and there, and the late exchange could be debated for sure, all of my other plays were best or close to it
