>Jonathan_Lindh: ?AEIMRR 5F MARRIE.s +76 259
#note I saw MARRIES instantly and then spaced out on the ITS spot because I was trying to find a double double that didn't exist. MARRIEDS only scores 3 less than MARRIES and is somewhat more likely to get challenged.

#note Richard had the GANEFS spot as well and had ODAHS there so he was scoring very well no matter what.

#note Last ditch effort.
>Richard_Popper: BCENRTW G13 W.B +25 381
#note Actual rack. Here's where the weird part of this game comes in. According to both of us, the bag is empty. That's because the Q managed to escape to the the floor under the neighboring table at some point during the game. It had to be when we put the tiles in the bag. I think the Q never got in the bag. Richard thinks I have the Q and I can't bingo. Assuming the Q is in the bag, 6E TEW, 6D WREN, and 6E NEW apparently win 100% of the time. WEB wins 87.50% of the time (when the Q is in the bag).
>Jonathan_Lindh: ADEIINT D4 INEDITA +71 411
#note I then immiediately bingo out. Richard immediately realizes the Q is missing and we call the directors over which results in a 10 minute ling search in our pockets and our scoresheets for the missing Q. We even checked the tile distribution multiple times and verified the Q was in fact missing. After looking on the floor for about 5 minutes. I dscovered the purple Q on the floor by a neighboring table.
>Jonathan_Lindh: (CENQRT) +34 445
#note Final score was recorded as 425-383 because we counted the Q as not being in the tile distribution and Ricjard overscored a play by two points. This would not be the only strange rules scenario I would encounter at Lake George though.
