>Benjy: INU 8F UNI +6 6
>Will: ?BIKLOZ F6 ZO.K +37 37
>Benjy: AENOPPR 7H PROPANE +67 73
>Will: ?ABEIIL O1 ALIBIEs +94 131
>Benjy: DEWY N6 W.EDY +41 114
>Will: ACEEITU 2J CAUTE. +28 159
#note Could've gone a little harder for bingos here (9F KUE) but thought the extra points and C out in space of CAUTEL were worth it. Sim agrees.
>Benjy: AAFMNST 10A FANTASM +86 200
>Will: AEFIIII A8 FI.I +30 189
>Benjy: AEEGIRT D5 AIGRE.TE +70 270
>Will: AEEILNT B2 LINEATE +73 262
#note Funny thing about this is that I briefly looked through the P and didn't come up with EITHER bingo! Yikes. TAPELINE scores 17 more.
>Benjy: JO 6J JO +54 324
>Will: ?EHLRRS 8J REH +34 296
#note Strongly considered L1 HURL to keep the E, which pumps up my bingo percentage even more than I expected (Quackle's numbers are 53% for REH and 85% for HURL). That's just so much extra. Nevertheless it sims only about a point better than REH. Also, I underscored REH by one point, which would loom large.
>Benjy: DIV 5K DIV +28 352
>Will: ?BILMRS 11G uMBRILS +73 369
>Will: ELNOTVW (challenge) +5 374
#note Best bingo...Benjy challenged
>Benjy: NORU H11 .OURN +24 376
>Will: ELNOTVW E3 VOW +28 402
#note Considered going more aggressively for the X, which looks like it's going to be big here, but decided that E1 VOWEL/WOLVE get hit too hard and that A1 VETO gave up all of my chances of simply getting a lucky winning bingo.
>Benjy: HQSU 14F QU.SH +45 421
>Will: ADEGLNT A1 LAGEND +40 442
#note LAGEND is the only option here
>Benjy: CDEEOX 13J CODEX +37 458
>Will: AGORSTY 15J ARGOSY +44 486
#note Only win. Obviously, this was a tough one to stomach for Benjy, losing by 5 after challenging UMBRILS. However, had we chosen to recount (which we may not have - I'm not averse to just taking a tie in a close game, especially at a lower-stakes event like a one day), I would've gotten a point and a 1 point win even without the challenge. Had I taken the tie, my bizarre whiff of TAPELINE would have been even more frustrating, though I played ok otherwise.
>Benjy: EOT C2 TOE +20 478
