#player2 Timocracy Timocracy
>Johnny_Utah: ?FLLQSU 8D QUiLL +46 46
#note Chicago club game. Best along with QUOLL, QUELL. Why QUILL? I hold the S!
>Timocracy: GLY E8 .GLY +16 16
>Johnny_Utah: FIMOSTW D11 MOW +23 69
#note I focus on my S setup, but miss C3 MOTIFS for 44. I don't see MOTIF period so D11 MOTIF for 35 was also a no go. -10.3.
>Timocracy: AA 13C A.A +12 28
>Johnny_Utah: EEFIOST 9C FI. +22 91
#note Seems fine. 14A FOE and FIE give back way too much. This gives back very little.
>Timocracy: AZ 10B ZA +36 64
#note That was the worst that could happen with that opening.
>Johnny_Utah: ?EEEOST 10E .EE +5 96
#note Maybe F7 OE for 7? This rack was a pain but this seems fine enough. No bingos play.
>Timocracy: EGMS 14A GEMS +27 91
>Johnny_Utah: ?DEOOST I5 bOOSTED +73 169
#note OSTEOID I7 is 75 but gives too much back. This bingo seemed like a good mix of scoring and defense.
>Timocracy: DJO 6H D.JO +28 119
>Johnny_Utah: AEFHINU A11 FAU.H +39 208
#note Best play.
>Timocracy: IKNP 5K PINK +28 147
#note I don't have the hooks!
>Johnny_Utah: ADEINNV M2 VAN.ED +24 232
#note I think this is best. J10 DAVEN is too aggressive even for me.
>Timocracy: BEISV O1 VIBES +44 191
#note Tim had an S too!
>Johnny_Utah: ABIINNR 11I .RAIN +12 244
#note Now these racks get hard. BIRIANI at F2 for 16 is worth considering but I want defense against the I10 X bomb. I considered 11G NADIR for 14 but switched to DRAIN because I was concerned about the X bomb. I was right to be concerned.
>Timocracy: IPX 10L PIX +34 225
#note I don't have the Y either!
>Johnny_Utah: BINNTTW J10 W.IT +28 272
#note Best play.
>Timocracy: DI 5G DI. +6 231
>Johnny_Utah: BINNNRT 4F NIB +20 292
>Timocracy: EORTTUU N8 TU. +10 241
>Johnny_Utah: AENNRRT L10 ..RN +12 304
#note This was another hard play. I was originally going to do ERRANT 14J, but I realized if Tim bingos I am going to be screwed. I then deceided to keep a bingo prone leave, block a little and hope for the best. That's how I arrived at L10 PIRN. It's either this of INANER at 12J for 29 which scores more but leaves me very vulnerable if Tim bingos. PIRN cuts Tim's bingo percentage down and allows me some bingos back. I would do the same thing again.
>Timocracy: EEIRRST 14F ETRIERS +78 319
#note Best play. This was the bingo and a great fit.
>Johnny_Utah: AEELNRT 3A ETERNAL +73 377
#note Thankfully, I have a bingo too which is how I drew it up.
>Timocracy: AEHR 4A HARE +39 358
>Johnny_Utah: ACCOOUY H12 CO.Y +36 413
#note I saw O10 YUCCA, but it scores less and probably won't leave me an out. This is fine.
>Timocracy: EGOOT O7 GOT +20 378
#note Best play.
>Johnny_Utah: ACOU F2 C.. +11 424
#note F10 ECU for 15. I needed to get a play down because I was under a minute. -6.
>Timocracy: EO 13J .O.E +10 388
#note Best play.
>Timocracy: (AOU) +6 394
#note MOTIFS was a disappointing miss but that was probably my biggest mistake. Well played game for the most part. We were way off on the scoring. We had 417-406 because I underscored FAUGH by 6 and Tim overscored GEMS by 12. 18 points of incorrect spread is really bad!
