>Jay_Levin: ?DDOPRR 8D PRODDeR +76 76
#note That is ugliness that turned into an early lead for Jay.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ELLNOOT D8 .OLLEN +16 16
#note Unfortunately no floating A for ATENOLOL. I saw 7F LOON but that takes out all my lanes that I'm gonna need later on. I had the right idea by blowing up the rack, PELOTON is a slightly better version of this.
>Jay_Levin: ATWY J6 WA.TY +27 103
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADGIOOT K9 OOTID +19 35

>Jay_Levin: TV 11B V...T +8 136
#note Interesting play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGNOSZ L8 ZONES +83 124
#note YES! I was super happy to see this.

Funny story: one time someone at club in West Babylon, NY tried ZONAGES* against me and I challenged it off. I bet the odds were pretty high that Jay would challenge ZONAGES* knowing it's Division 1.
>Jay_Levin: NOO 8L .OON +39 175
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGORSV K3 ROVE +19 143
#note Did not know the S hook on WARTY, it didn't occur to me to leave that open. VOG I13 is best.

>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EEEISU I2 E.E +6 186

#note O13 HAJ doesn't give him anything in Column A.
>Jay_Levin: DEIILTW A4 .ILTED +42 462
#note This is what happens when a suboptimal play is made.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACFHP 3C CAPH +39 363
#note At least I got this play right.
>Jay_Levin: IW 14L WI. +6 468
#note Correction from previous upload. I put some notes in the wrong play.

After ZONES, Jay simply outplayed me.

Bingo finding was very good for the most part in this tourney (see Round 5), but in 2 of my losses, one bad play changed the whole game, and I can't do that in Division 1. In the other loss, not seeing TERAOHMS did me no favors. Strategy was pretty good, but I still gotta study more words. On the flipside, I did have a winning record against a respectable field and managed to gain 10 rating points. Ended up 4th of 8.
