>Jonathan_Lindh: DEIKLUX 8G XU +18 18
#note 2025 Crescent City Cup. Round 9. I've played Maddy many times but never played Roy until now. XU looks fine.
>Roy_Kamen: ERY 7E RYE +17 17
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEIKLOP 6G KOP +23 41
#note 9H PODLIKE for 74. I saw it and then backed out of it. I also backed out of playing a valid 7 against Maddy in Round 8 as well. KOP is one of the better non-bingo plays.
>Roy_Kamen: IMR 9H MIR +10 27
>Jonathan_Lindh: DEEGILM 8A GLIDE +29 70
#note GLIME in the same spot.
>Roy_Kamen: BENO 5H BONE +20 47
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEMRST C7 M.SRATED +80 150
#note Best.
>Roy_Kamen: EFHIRST K7 SHIFTER +82 129
#note Best.
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADILOQU E2 LIQUO..D +36 186
#note Basically tied with L2 QUOD for 36 which I considered and 12F QUAILED for 36. LIQUORED was the best in this scenario because it blocked a bingo Roy had ending with -AL on row 4.
>Roy_Kamen: ALNNO 8K .ONAN +27 156
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAIOOST 9C .O.A +8 194
#note Slightly weak. D11 IOTA for 19 scores enough and keeps the S to be worth it.
>Roy_Kamen: CERU 12A CU.ER +20 176
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAEIOST A12 .IAO +18 212
#note Best.
>Roy_Kamen: OW 10F WO +26 202
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAAERST 11E AA +14 226
#note Best.
>Roy_Kamen: TV 12J V.T +12 214
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEENRST 14I EASTERN +82 308
#note The moment of truth. Every bingo here has its drawbacks so I went with the one that scored by far the most. Quackle agrees with me, preferring it by 14F NEAREST by 12.5 points. 91.82% to win, but not for long.
>Roy_Kamen: ?AGNSTY 15D STAYiNG +88 302
#note Best. Even better than 15D GYMNAST for 90 for some reason.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AFIIJTV O12 VI.A +33 341
>Roy_Kamen: ELZ 13G LEZ +45 347
#note If we were playing NWL, I wonder if Roy would have had a big play.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CEFIJLT 14E IF +28 369
#note Unclear. 3A FICTILE for 26 and B11 FUCI for 36 are other good options too. The Championship Player does not initally find my play, but when added to a sim, it jumps into the list of top plays.
>Roy_Kamen: EIPU 4C PI.UE +32 379
#note FICTILE prevents this, although FICTILE may have also given back a blank bingo. I was probably sunk here no matter what.
>Jonathan_Lindh: BCEGJLT 3G BEG +18 387
#note Blocking HOWDIES/HOWDIED and hoping to draw a vowel or blank.
>Roy_Kamen: ?DEHIOW M11 HOW. +27 406
#note J3 SINH for 41 is 5 points better although HOWE blocking my biggest J spot is nice too.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CJLNT N7 T.J +10 397
#note Best along with 6D JO for 9.
>Roy_Kamen: ?DEI 2B yIE.D +18 424
#note L8 ODE for 17 is best not going out immediately by 6 points over my play. Everything wins.
>Roy_Kamen: (CLN) +10 434
