>Jared_Cappel: EEILX 8D EXILE +26 26
>Jonathan_Lindh: AADEMST 7D DAM +22 22
#note I miss ADAMSITE/DIASTEMA right out of the gate.
>Jared_Cappel: BOOT 6B BOOT +26 52
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEEGMST I2 GAMETES +75 97
#note My bingo placement is best according to Quackle, but I'm not sure about that. Every placement of METAGES and GAMETES has significant drawbacks.
>Jared_Cappel: NQRU 5G QU.RN +28 80
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEEFIRW E4 BE... +28 125
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEEFIRW -- -28 97
#note J1 FIBER for 25 is my play. BETAX* was a choke and probably a game losing mistake. FIBER restricts Jared's options a ton. Instead, this sequence happens.
>Jared_Cappel: EFSUV 3H F.UVES +24 104
>Jonathan_Lindh: BEEFIRW 4L FIB +28 125
#note Probably WIFE in this spot.
>Jared_Cappel: ?AEKNNT 1G NEATNiK +91 195
#note Great find! UNTAKEN was also available for 94 but it sets up a big F2 spot with 2 H's and 2 P's out so that probably isn't optimal.
>Jonathan_Lindh: EGRRW H7 R.GREW +16 141
>Jared_Cappel: DESZ O1 ZEDS +55 250
#note I'm in serious trouble.

>Jonathan_Lindh: AEJNRUY 10F JU.Y +30 171
#note Best.
>Jared_Cappel: ALLOW 12C WALLO. +24 274
>Jonathan_Lindh: AEENRTV 11H .AVE +19 190
#note 2A NERVATE for 76. Yeah this wasn't a well played game.
>Jared_Cappel: ILOO 13C OLIO +24 298
>Jonathan_Lindh: EHHINRT 12K HETH +25 215
#note Blow up the rack and do HINTER? Not sure.
>Jared_Cappel: AAACERT - +0 298
#note Exchange 4 or 5? Not actual rack.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AINOORS 7A OI +6 221
#note BORONIAS and ORATIONS barely do not fit in three locations.
>Jared_Cappel: DNOP 10K POND +19 317
#note At this point, I think i was smiling, but I remember it had nothing to do with the game. I had one or two funny scrabble dreams during the tournament which included playing Josh in a version of Woogles with an ISC color scheme and Words with Friends triple word score placement squares. I finally played COVE after a minute and then the game software accidentally booted me out and resulted in a forfeit win for Josh. In the other dream, I exchanged plesantries with a 50 foot tall (literally in the dream) of Jeffrey Nelson. I originally just saw ORGANA and took an extra 45 seconds to find ANGORAS.
>Jonathan_Lindh: AAGNORS 14D ANGORAS +78 299
#note Only bingo. Need to draw the second blank and dodge the I's in order to have a chance.
>Jared_Cappel: ETY 15G YET +31 348
>Jonathan_Lindh: DIIIIRU G1 .U +2 301
#note I did not dodge the I's. I have to block one of the lanes. I chose the easier 7's lane. There are 18 possible bingos for Jared to have that start with the O and well over 50 (maybe 100ish?) bingos that go in row 2.
>Jared_Cappel: ?ACINPT A7 .PTiCIAN +86 434
#note Jared had A2 PICANTE as well so I was sunk no matter what lane I blocked.
>Jonathan_Lindh: CDIIIIR N12 .IC +16 317
#note Nowhere for the sweet IRIDIC to go. HIC is tied with L9 CODER for 17 for the best endgame play.
>Jared_Cappel: AER 15C ARE +13 447
#note Best.
>Jared_Cappel: (RIDII) +12 459
