#note weird spot - DULL wins a sim, but that's not very inspiring.
>dacron: EEIITTX 11D IXT.E +24 138
#note considered TEXTI(L)E, too, but there's already only two Ts left, and dave doesn't usually score 11 without a good rack.

#note This or FE(C)IT. I think I like this a bit more.

#note hated putthing the O there, but what am I supposted to do?
>bing: AAFLOOR 1G ALOOF +34 319
#note I can see not playing 6B ALOOF here for one more - he's down, and will benefit from a more open board.
>dacron: BDEGHNT J11 B.GH +18 361
#note The only play I wasn't sure of. The pool looked ripe for bingos, and I had a feeling I'd need to bingo again with the Z spot still looming, and some nice bingo lanes. Quackle says go for turnover with BED(I)GHT which was my second choice. I'm guessing the Z throws things for a bit of a loop here, which makes it hard to evaluate, but supposedly I average about the same score after B(A)GH and BED(I)GHT. It was a close call on my part, but this was the mistake of the game.

>bing: INNOSVZ N6 ZO +65 470
#note that's the tournament right there!
>dacron: AEGOTWW 3B TWAE +31 467
#note I think I'm pretty much dead here. Spent 9 minutes or so, and eventually just put down the thing that scored the most points.
>bing: AINNSUV 1A INN +24 494
#note VAU(T)S first is better, but Dave didn't want to risk the tournament on NAIN#.
>dacron: EGORW 4D WE +29 496
#note blocking VAU(T)S is two better, but I had two seconds.
>bing: ASUV M9 VAU.S +24 518
>bing: (GOR) +8 526
#note All in all, this was a huge step in the right direction. I had a few lapses, but I kept my composure a lot more, and I was a lot more at peace. Time to keep studying, and before long I think I'll be there.
