>Ben_Greenwood: MOO 8F MOO +10 10
#note First ever in-person tournament!
>James_Donnelly: BEEEEII -EEEI +0 0
#note -4.5 Good start... Keeping "E", nothing, or "BE" would've been better by a bit.
>Ben_Greenwood: ?AEHNST 9C STHENiA +70 80
>James_Donnelly: ABDEIOT 8A BOA +17 17
#note -8 8A BIO or 8A OBIA as well as some underlaps were better. I saw A(STHENIA) but decided not to use it?
>Ben_Greenwood: DDIY A8 .IDDY +16 96
>James_Donnelly: DEEILTY 7E DEY +26 43
>Ben_Greenwood: EH 6E EH +33 129
>James_Donnelly: CEILLTZ 5C TIZ +50 93
#note Almost played 5C LEZ*. Gotta remember that it's no longer acceptable.
>Ben_Greenwood: NRU D9 .URN +8 137
>James_Donnelly: CDELLTT I8 T.LCED +17 110
#note -4 I didn't see I5 TECTAL which was slightly better. I8 TALC is better because it's more defensive and keeps a vowel?
>Ben_Greenwood: ?FLW H12 WoLF +50 187
>James_Donnelly: ALNTUUX 4B LUX +40 150
#note Only one "F" for FLUX.
>Ben_Greenwood: GKO 11C G.OK +18 205
>James_Donnelly: AENNNTU 3A NAN +14 164
#note After a sim, this play comes out on top. All win %'s are under 20% by this point.
>Ben_Greenwood: EITU 11I .UTIE +14 219
>James_Donnelly: AAEGNTU L9 UN.TAGE +18 182
#note -3 G12 AGA scores and holds well but where is a bingo going to go? Same problem with B12 GAUGE. M8 GATEAU opens the board a bit.
>Ben_Greenwood: IQS J6 QIS +39 258
>James_Donnelly: AAAIILR G12 ALA +16 198
>James_Donnelly: AAAIILR -- -16 182
#note I'm dum
>Ben_Greenwood: GOOP M6 GOOP +18 276
>James_Donnelly: AAAIILR L3 ARIAL +15 197
#note -15 I phony a second time with ARIAL*. This time it goes unchallenged. K2 AALII looks far superior.
>Ben_Greenwood: AE M3 AE +10 286
>James_Donnelly: ABEIPST K3 BAP +30 227
>Ben_Greenwood: EOR G12 ORE +16 302
>James_Donnelly: EEIIMST A1 ME. +15 242
#note -6 I have to keep the board open for a comeback. 14L GIE is the best way to do that. Quackle says that C11 GIE is also a solid option, but I'm skeptical.
>Ben_Greenwood: INW M13 WIN +27 329
>James_Donnelly: EIIORST 8M .OT +9 251
#note A sim shows that this play has the highest win %. It feels wrong though. N9 OI or N7 RIOT might have some merit?
>Ben_Greenwood: EJ O6 JE. +10 339
>James_Donnelly: CEIIRSV 15J IR..IC +24 275
#note Playing for a win here isn't worth. K11 TIC has the highest win % at .42%, but 15J IRENIC reduces spread loss.
>Ben_Greenwood: EIRV C11 .IVER +20 359
>James_Donnelly: ESSV 14A EV.S +14 289
#note Has the same evaluation as the
>Ben_Greenwood: AFR B6 FR. +14 373
>James_Donnelly: S G11 S... +14 303
#note Challenged but it's good.
>James_Donnelly: (A) +2 305
