#note Sims better than an exchange by 5 points. Because BIIIOV is a fine leave!
>Mark_Edelson: OW 9G WO +24 47
>Matt_Canik: BIIINOV -BIIOV +0 56
#note Ok that's enough of BIIIOV
>Mark_Edelson: DEF 9C FED +20 67
>Matt_Canik: IILLNNU I9 NULL +12 68
#note I am about 70% sure WON does *not* take an S here (it does). That will come up later in the game.

>Matt_Canik: AHIIKNP A12 HANK +58 171
#note UGHHHH. KAPH is 71. I just got so excited when I saw HANK that I whiffed it. BAD.
>Mark_Edelson: DIOOT 11K OOTID +21 130
>Matt_Canik: IINPTTU 10L TIPI +33 204
#note Just a note: This tournament is on a 20 minute clock and Mark, a historically slow player, is already down under half of his time. I know he generally takes a long time to find bingos. I'm fastplaying him HARD now.
>Mark_Edelson: EEF C13 FEE +27 157
>Matt_Canik: AENNOTU 11A T.U +21 225
#note I only remember 6 tiles here. Regardless, NAEVO(ID) or VO(ID) or this was a tough decision. Since I think WON doesn't take an S, I think I'd have the board all but locked down with VOID, but it'd be quite easy for him to open back up. AVOID doesn't let too many bingos play- few 7s end in an tile that will front hook an A. Still, probably should just play VOID.
>Mark_Edelson: IIIOOO -IIIOOO +0 157
>Matt_Canik: AENNOOV O7 AVO.. +27 252
#note AVOID vs NAEVOID vs OVOID vs VOID.

I chose AVOID because I wanted to hold fewer vowels than with VOID, and it's still fairly defensive because not many 7s end in a tile that can front hook an A. Remember, I think WONS is invalid so I think I have the board locked down here.
>Mark_Edelson: EY 15C .YE +10 167

>Mark_Edelson: EPR 14H REP +24 191
>Matt_Canik: AEIINTV 15G VET +26 304
#note Want to knock out this spot. EYE and REP both sort of imply more Es.
>Mark_Edelson: ES 12N ES +19 210
>Matt_Canik: AAABIIN 13E INIA +8 312
#note Not afraid of holding double As because there are none left. Want to turn over tiles and create a scoring spot on the board.
>Mark_Edelson: ?DELRST J3 DaRTLES +66 276
#note Shoot. Mark wouldn't play this if it didn't take an S, especially with STRUDEL available. He's down under two minutes now.
>Matt_Canik: AABIRSX 12D AX +27 339
#note Can't really find a good way to close of the lines up top except (R)AX. Let's just hope he didn't pull a bingo out of the bag (or if he did, can't see it in time).
