>Cynthia_Scotti: FOR H7 FOR +12 12
#note This was the most pivotal game of the tournament. The winner of this game would be a game up on everybody else in Class C
>Caleb_Pittman: AEEEOOR -EEOO +0 0
#note Maybe it's a bit better to shed the A as well. But an exchange here is obvious
>Cynthia_Scotti: ADNW G8 WAND +17 29
>Caleb_Pittman: ?ADEEIR 12A DEARIEs +76 76
#note Two double-doubles here. Both fairly common words- a miss for sure. This is probably the next best bingo
>Cynthia_Scotti: AMN A12 .AMN +21 50
>Caleb_Pittman: DEGIUWZ E11 W.Z +30 106
#note Sims slightly worse than C11 G(A)UZE. But they're easily the top two plays
>Cynthia_Scotti: AU F12 .AU +16 66
>Caleb_Pittman: DEEGHIU C10 HE.D +16 122
#note Terrible play. Should have played off HUGE
>Cynthia_Scotti: AEINPSY -4 +0 66
>Caleb_Pittman: EGIT F6 GITE +18 140
#note Forgot to track. She held for a moment.
>Cynthia_Scotti: AIO 15A .AOI +5 71
#note Cynthia told me after the game that she exchanged vowels and drew more out of the bag. This actually plays for 13 at 10G
>Caleb_Pittman: IMSTUXY 15F XIS +41 181
#note I had SIXTY ready to play on my rack here. I missed its anagram, XYSTI
>Cynthia_Scotti: EER I5 REE +10 81
>Caleb_Pittman: CIMNTUY J6 MY +32 213
#note Looks to be a good play, especially as I was pretty sure that FEY didn't take a back S. Quackle has me at 97% to win here
>Cynthia_Scotti: EHO D9 HOE. +18 99
>Caleb_Pittman: CINOTUU B8 CUT +15 228
#note CUNIT better.
>Cynthia_Scotti: ?ABEILS 14H ABLEISt +72 171
#note The anagram ALBItES plays for 8 more here. I probably would have challenged it too.
>Caleb_Pittman: ILNOTUU K4 ULU +11 239
#note Best play
>Cynthia_Scotti: INTV L1 VINT +26 197
#note This is not a word. As a new player, I don't like to challenge a whole lot, especially on low scoring plays
>Caleb_Pittman: IINOOTY 1L .INY +30 269
#note Top scoring play. Probably best
>Cynthia_Scotti: ABEEGST M7 BESTAGE. +80 277
#note This play is gonna give me nightmares. It didn't look right to me, but I figured I could outscore here in a pre-endgame. This was definitely the wrong call, especially because I only had 1-pointers on my rack.
Even though we correctly scored this as 80, I added 100 to her score, which threw me off for the rest of the game.
BESTAGES! RESTAGES is good.
>Caleb_Pittman: ILLNOOT N6 LOTION +24 293
#note Somehow I found my best play here, with 5 overlaps. A bit risky with the J and a V still in the bag.
I also originally scored this as 23. It's a good thing we recounted..
>Cynthia_Scotti: AF 8L F..A +33 310
>Caleb_Pittman: AJLOPRV 12K JO. +22 315
#note H1 PARVO is my best play by miles. This isn't terrible
>Cynthia_Scotti: O K12 .O. +10 320
>Caleb_Pittman: AELPRRV I9 LEV +12 327
#note Lot of overlaps on the right side are way better. I was running low on time
>Cynthia_Scotti: DE 10G .E.D +16 336
>Caleb_Pittman: AQT E5 QAT +29 356
#note I thought this was my obvious best play. QAT plays for 6 more points at J2
>Cynthia_Scotti: CGO J2 COG +16 352
>Caleb_Pittman: KNPRR O7 P.R +15 371
#note Wasn't sure of P(A)RR. Didn't see it until the end
>Cynthia_Scotti: IPRS N6 ......S +19 371
#note Cynthia has 3 winning plays here, and this isn't one of them. PSI plays at O13, PIS at O12, or she could go out with RIPS at G3.
>Caleb_Pittman: KNR H13 K.. +7 378
#note This is a winning play for me, unbeknownst to me
>Cynthia_Scotti: IPR 3L .IP +10 381
#note Cynthia is lost here, but this is her top scoring play.
>Caleb_Pittman: NR O7 ...R +9 387
#note I have one winning play, and one tie. I found the tie. L11 N(O)R(I) wins me the game on the spot.
>Cynthia_Scotti: R 6D R.. +4 385
#note Only out play.
>Cynthia_Scotti: (N) +2 387
#note Originally, we scored this as a 1-point win for Cynthia, so we did a recount, and found that we tied. Cynthia played well with the clunky tiles she drew; I made some costly mistakes that cost me the game, and ultimately, the tournament.
