>Joshua_Sokol: EIILNTX 11D IL.X +22 48
#note K4 XI would have worked out pretty well I guess
>David_Postal: ?AAENRT 5F TANA.ERs +66 106
>Joshua_Sokol: CDEINOT L1 CENT.OID +82 130
#note sANTERA at K7 would have left me without a bingo!
>David_Postal: ADNW 12A WAND +30 136
>Joshua_Sokol: IORSTVY 12G IVY +22 152
#note IVY doesn't bingo enough to justify the points sacriifice over VI(C)TOR. VI(A)TOR is only one more point than VI(C)TOR and is way too volatile
>David_Postal: AGS A12 .AGS +24 160
>Joshua_Sokol: ANOORST 15A .ANTOORS +77 229
#note I couldn't remember the third anagram of CORANTOS and CARTOONS. OSTRA(C)ON doesn't take an S and plays for 80, would have been a great way to get ahead. I could hook it or challenge off the hook. Too bad I didn't see it or know that it didn't take a hook.
>David_Postal: OP 14F PO +22 182
>Joshua_Sokol: FILMMTZ B11 Z.MI. +42 271
>David_Postal: EEIRRST 6A RETIRES +67 249

#note crossing my fingers
>David_Postal: AJLU A4 JU.AL +60 309
#note eek
>Joshua_Sokol: IKLNNTU 4A .UNK +30 339
#note seemed really close between this and (D)UNK to block a lane and the S hook on FREMD. (D)UNK sims slightly higher than JUNK
>David_Postal: DEO 1L .OED +28 337
#note however JUNK blocked a bingo! Cockblocked!
>Joshua_Sokol: BEILNTU 1E NUBILE +29 368
#note should probably follow up with LUBE
>David_Postal: AOP 2E OPA +27 364
>Joshua_Sokol: EHIISTW C2 HI. +12 380
#note ridiculously complicated pre-endgame, where I really don't want to draw the Q. He probably doesn't have it, so I tried setting it up just in case I drew it. I can't do anything if he has a bingo but he could then draw it and be stuck with it. I thought this made the most sense, sets up QIS/SHIN as well as QIS/EFS still being there. However CENTROID takes an S and I didn't remember that being true. Much better is playing WHI(N) or WI(N) in this case, since I have two spots automatically. 3G HEW doesn't leave me two spots so I will have to pass on that one.
>David_Postal: ?EGORVY B1 GO +16 380
>Joshua_Sokol: AEIQSTW 10H SEW +21 401
#note bad bad bad bad bad. I bet he sees REVELRY or will see it eventually, so I either choose to hope he chickens out or misses it, or I hope he blunders the endgame, because I'm dead meat.

However once again QIS/CENTROIDS is a thing I didn't realize existed. That wins because it blocks the bingos and sheds the Q, giving me enough flexibility and firepower to win by 4 points at the least.

Really need to review these words don't I...
>David_Postal: ?EELRVY 13I EVERY +30 410
#note do I have enough?
>Joshua_Sokol: AIQT 3H QAT +19 420
#note QA(ID) was backup at D9 by the way
>David_Postal: ?L 4F aL +6 416
#note he needed 9 points and couldn't find it. !4 (JURAL)Ly is his win, and I saw it for him. Should have let him know... he went over time here
>David_Postal: (I) +2 418
#note Final 408-420 and my second stolen win of the tournament.
