>The_Vinegar_Man!: AHLU 8G HULA +14 14
#note Chicago Literacy Tournament Game 1. This tournament was truly a clusterf*ck of epic proportions. I think this tournament made me more neurotic than Cesar about my playing ability.
>Johnny_Utah: ?DEIQST H4 DiSQ.IET +69 69
#note Best play! This would be a common theme tournament: blanks for sub 70 points I can't find a way to wisely pass this up and Quackle agrees.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: DEIINOS 12B IODINES +87 101
#note Best play along with IONISED at 12D.
>Johnny_Utah: ?BEFOTW F2 WEBFOoT +82 151
>Johnny_Utah: ?BEFOTW -- -82 69
#note Too greedy! Jack said do C7 WEBFOOT for 44 keeping the blank. This may have cost me the game.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AEKT 11C TAKE +35 136
>Johnny_Utah: ?BEFOTW 13B TWO +30 99
#note WOT in the same spot at 13C. How did I miss that? -5
>The_Vinegar_Man!: IMN 10F MI.N +23 159
>Johnny_Utah: ?BEFHLO 7J FOB +13 112
#note Saw the higher scoring options. Didn't like the leaves and they did to the board with a blank in hand. I don't Marty can shut this down now.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AOP G4 APO +13 172
>Johnny_Utah: ?AEEHLU F6 HE +27 139
#note First missed bingo of the day. I thought everything was blocked but L7 BLUEHEAD for 76 was playable. Rats. I made the second best play.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AGNRY E3 ANGRY +30 202
>Johnny_Utah: ?AEFLUW D2 FLU +18 157
>The_Vinegar_Man!: GORVY 9J GROVY +23 225
>Johnny_Utah: ?AEIRTW M1 WAITERs +76 233
#note WATERILY was a little better for 80 but nothing fit in column C. -4
>The_Vinegar_Man!: ABGINTU C3 ANTIBUG +89 314
#note This was a killer.
>Johnny_Utah: IJLOPRX 8A RO.X +57 290
#note Best play!
>The_Vinegar_Man!: EORV 1K VO.ER +36 350
>Johnny_Utah: CIJLPUZ 4K PU.Z +30 320
#note 5J JULEP maybe?
>The_Vinegar_Man!: IM 8N MI +19 369
>Johnny_Utah: CCDIJLN 5J CIN. +22 342
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AEEELOS 5C .E. +11 380
>Johnny_Utah: ACDEJLT 6A AJ. +26 368
#note Best play!
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AEELOSS 2M .LE +12 392
>Johnny_Utah: CDDELST L9 .DD +5 373
#note Best play! CELST has great synergy and row 14 is going to be very hard for Marty to defend. There are a few unblockable bingos I can draw.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AAEEIRS 12J RASE +20 412
>Johnny_Utah: CELNOST 14D SEC +16 389
#note Sadly I don't draw an outbingo. This was a bad endgame too. I can't win but I can make it closer.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AEEI 9C .IE +13 425
>Johnny_Utah: LNOT B1 LOT +10 399
>The_Vinegar_Man!: AE J11 A.E +3 428
#note This wasn't Marty's play as he played O1 REE but there seemed to be an A left in the bag. Oh well this gets us to about the right score.
>The_Vinegar_Man!: (N) +2 430
#note Final score was 420-378 because Marty went 1 minute over, I went 1:38 over and I underscored myself somewhere. The silly WEBFOOT play and the miss of BLUEHEAD may have cost me but honestly it wasn't that bad of a game. Things would get stranger later in tournament. Much stranger.
