#note Rd 6 Philly virtual 9-12-2021.

1st Judy 4-1 +327
2nd me 3-2 +154
3rd 3-2 +99
4th 2-3 -18
5th 1-3-1 -241
6th 1-3-1 -321

I need to win by at least 87 points to finish at least 2nd. I'm gonna have to shoot for the moon on some turns.
>skaplan31: AAFIIXZ 9I IXIA +26 26
#note Here's an example of trying to shoot the moon. I did see 9H FIX, but that does nothing for my Z. It's a risky move because so many things can go above or thru the A, but I am keeping a scoring leave which can hopefully net me some spread should Judy take Row 8. I also really like how well this forks as EX takes no back hooks.
>judyr: EFIOOPT 8L POOF +43 69
#note 8L FOOT also works for her, but EIT is a better leave on this board for her in part for potential Row 10 bingoes.
>skaplan31: ADFIPRZ 10E IZARD +41 67
#note 10K FRIZ if I were in Judy's spot trying to protect my standings lead, but not here. I set up my F nicely at 11E and keep POOF floaters open.
>judyr: AEILRTW D7 WAILER +36 105
#note I don't agree with D10 WAILER here. I'm fine with this, D8 WALIE, or even 10D W(IZARD). W(IZARD) is more defensive and keeps a bingo-oriented leave, but this is also fine to put immediate pressure on me and go thru tiles quicker.
>skaplan31: DFLPRTT 11B TR.F +24 91
#note That's an unfortunate draw, but I gotta do this.
>judyr: ?AEERST O8 .ASTEnER +83 188
>skaplan31: DDELOPT H10 .EDTOP +33 124
>judyr: CHNORSY N12 HOY +34 222
#note Got lucky she missed C3 CHYRONS for 95 and C1 SYNCHRO for 88.
>skaplan31: ADEGLTV 8A VAG.L +27 151
#note Maybe 8A DEV(A) is a little less blocky, or even 9C V(I)G is probably slightly better leavewise, but my win % is still around 8% either way. #visionsmall
>judyr: CEENNRS N7 C.NE +14 236
#note 13E CEN(T)NERS is her bingo for 62. I do like this play from her because it will put her in a nice position to close off some of the top of the board.
>skaplan31: DEEOSTU 15D OUTS.EED +62 213
#note M10 OUTED is a cool fit, but I needed to find this bingo, and I'm glad I did.
>judyr: CENRRSY M13 CRY +30 266
#note Ugh
>skaplan31: ABINNOT 14J BO +23 236
>judyr: EEGMNRS 6J GERMS +23 289
#note 6H GERMENS for 73.
>skaplan31: AINNTTW 11G T.IN +13 249
#note Idk, I didn't wanna do 5G WITAN to allow her to block the left side so easily with a Row 4 play. NAW or TAW would have done fine for equity purposes, but I just hated those moves given the score.
>judyr: ?ENNQSU K3 QUE.N +28 317
>skaplan31: AAEINTW L1 WAIN +37 286
#note Slim hopes still alive after all.
>judyr: ?AIINSV A2 INVASI.e +67 384
#note Yea...nope. Very nice find Judy and that's gonna seal it for her. Cue that Mario music after Mario falls down.
>skaplan31: AEKNOTU 1L .AUK +33 319
>judyr: ADEGLMU 2L .LMA +28 412
>skaplan31: EHLNOOT B5 EH +28 347
#note Definitely wasn't too happy with how this one went, but a clearly better move is C2 THEOLO(G). -10 spread on 1 move. #endgamelarge
>judyr: DEGU 3A .UDGE +14 426
#note Congrats Judy!
