Game Details
Player 1
#player1 Joey Joey
#player2 Avery Avery
>Joey: AIIKSTV 8G KIVA +22 22
#note Featuring both Avery's commentary and Joey's.

Joey: 12 points is around the tipping point of whether or not to add on the S. The superior defense helped me decide to keep it.
>Avery: GNORTUZ J6 ZO. +32 32
>Joey: DEIRRST K8 STIRRED +78 100
>Avery: EGJNRTU 10J J.G +27 59
>Joey: DILNOQR 9F QI +19 119
>Avery: EFLNRTU 13F REFLU.NT +76 135
>Joey: ?DLNORW G8 ..LN +8 127
#note Joey: Weird position. I never thought of WOLF, which gets rid of the W and perhaps gives me a 39 pointer if I can draw an E.
>Avery: AAILORY H12 O.AY +33 168
>Joey: ?DHORTW 11B THROW. +24 151
>Avery: ?AAFILR 15A AFRAIdL. +92 260
#note Not a word, but I'm guessing he didn't challenge since his next rack would be useless if I blocked the R.

Joey: I was so glad that my own bingo wasn't blocked that I didn't think hard enough of this word's invalidity.
>Joey: ?BDEGRY D5 DoGBER.Y +84 235
#note nice
>Avery: CDEOSUW E2 COWED +30 290
#note Setting up my S
>Joey: EIINPTV 2B EVI.T +24 259
#note I guess this accomplished several things. Blocks the S hook and my vowel-dump bingo.
>Avery: AIOSTUU -OUU +0 290
#note He blocked CAUTIOUS. I exchanged too fast here - OUTA/ZA looks fine even though there's a lot of E's left.
>Joey: ACEIINP 14A PIA +26 285
>Avery: AAGINST 1F ANTISAG +82 372
#note Stupid draw
>Joey: ACEINNX 2I NIX +27 312
>Avery: EEEINOS L1 .ENIE +23 395
>Joey: ABCEENU 3J BE.E +27 339
>Avery: DEELOSU M5 DELOUSE +75 470
#note Hard to go wrong with this stuff
>Joey: AACNOSU 6J .A +11 350
#note Not fishing for anything in particular. There just wasn't much else to do.
>Avery: EHMOOPU C4 POH +18 488
#note Too lazy to figure out an optimal pre-endgame here, but obviously stuff like N6 HOP is wrong since SANCTUM is still unseen. I wasn't 100% sure of POMBE. Lousy. I played really poorly all the second day.
>Joey: ACMNOSU 8A COM. +30 380
#note Joey: NUMB actually nets a few more spread points.

Avery: But COMB saves the plural of ANU.
>Avery: EMOTU N6 MO +22 510
#note H5 ETUI is best to block his outs
>Joey: ANSU H5 UNA.S +17 397
#note I've now played Joey twice in my lifetime and I average 521 against him. I'm sure that will change soon. Was sort of surprised I only got to play him once this tournament.
>Joey: (ETU) +6 403
