>June_Graff: AEEJNOR 8G JOE +20 20
#note Starting off my tournament in the best way possible: playing my opponent's name!
>Joe_Roberdeau: AEGRW 7H WAGER +18 18
>June_Graff: ABELNOR K4 BOL. +12 32
#note Probably should have just played something like 9G ON. Didn't even realize I was setting up the O(BOLE) hook, I missed it for the entire game!
>Joe_Roberdeau: GOT 9F GOT +21 39
>June_Graff: AAENNRR L3 RAN +16 48
>Joe_Roberdeau: ?CEISTY M7 SoCIETY +91 130
>June_Graff: AENNOPR 12G OPERAN. +24 72
#note Missed L10 PAEON and similar overlaps. Perhaps unwisely decided to blow through a lot of solid tiles instead of shorter plays that still would've scored similarly
>Joe_Roberdeau: DIIOT 13E IDIOT +18 148
>June_Graff: IKLNRRV H12 ..RK +30 102
#note (PO)RK seems best, keeping my only vowel, scoring as well as I can and saving V(IDIOT) for next turn
>Joe_Roberdeau: AIM 11E AIM +15 163
>June_Graff: EILNORV D12 OVER +26 128
#note 11I RELI(E)VO would've been a darn cool find
>Joe_Roberdeau: EH 11J EH +22 185
>June_Graff: FIILNNO 10I IF +27 155
#note Didn't know FLORIN, which plays at both 3I and 15A.
>Joe_Roberdeau: III -III +0 185
>June_Graff: ILNNOTT 15A INT.O +15 170
#note INTRON would've been better keeping only 2 consonants but I didn't know it. Still missing words hooking O(BOLE) as well
>Joe_Roberdeau: AD 14H .AD +11 196
>June_Graff: EELMNTY 10B YLEM +21 191
#note Missed playing the same word for 8 more at M1, leaving the C-column open for bingoes with a decent 3-tile leave. Also didn't consider the possibility of X(YLEM)!
>Joe_Roberdeau: E B10 .E +5 201
>June_Graff: ADELNPT D6 PLAT. +8 199
#note Arghh completely missed ENDPLAT(E)! Terrible turn. PLAT(E) was a hasty attempt to block 8s after the terrifying fishing play of (Y)E, but it would actually give Joe a place to play his bingo next turn. Something like 9B PAD seems much better to both block and score.
>Joe_Roberdeau: AEINORS E2 ERASION +72 273
>June_Graff: ADDEEGN 8M .DE +9 208
#note Missed GA(R)DENED and DE(R)ANGED!! Might have seen them if I'd stopped to look instead of focusing on making a desperate opening
>Joe_Roberdeau: VW 4D V.W +18 291
>June_Graff: ADEGNUZ 2A GAUZ.D +42 250
#note GAUZED*! Was lucky to get away with it, but it didn't make much difference...
>Joe_Roberdeau: BIQTU 2J QUBIT +78 369
>June_Graff: ?CENUUX 14A XU +31 281
#note Seems about the best I can do to save spread. Was down to about 30 seconds by this point
>Joe_Roberdeau: AEFINSS 1A AN +17 386
>June_Graff: ?CEHLNU 1M HUN +25 306
#note (Overscored by 2) To top it all off, missed my winning outbingo of (E)LENCHUs! I'd seen the plural ELENCHI but not the singular. Only saw B1 L(A)UNCHEs but Joe blocked it right away.
>Joe_Roberdeau: EFISS J5 SE.S +25 411
>June_Graff: ?CEL 15J aLEC +8 314
#note Second-tournament jitters or not, this game was a good reminder that the only way to go is up :) Joe certainly earned the win, props to him for his eventual 3rd place finish!
>June_Graff: (FI) +10 324
