>Johnny_Utah: ADGGKMP 8G DAMP +18 18
#note GAMP is a little better than DAMP apparently. KGG and DGK both seem gross.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: CEEIMNR G6 EN.ERIMC +68 68
#note Josh mispelled ENDERMIC and I missed it. If I played GAMP like I should have, this wouldn't have. This was the first agem of the day I thought I had a good chance of winning but didn't, although hitting ANNEALER vs Joey and WIZARD vs Cesar may have changed that.
Josh: This was unbelievable on my part. I was really excited when he played a D because I KNEW it was the only tile that gave me an 8-letter word, based on a club game I had just played a week prior. And yet due to my excitement I transposed tiles!!! I am so glad Mr. Utah did not notice, but as I have to do when this happens, I gave him at least 5 seconds to do so. Hilarity ensued.
>Johnny_Utah: ADGGKOS K5 GAGS +22 40
#note SKAG K8 is definitely my play. Not huge though. -4
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BEEILTU F4 TUBE +24 92
>Johnny_Utah: DDIKOSZ H1 KIDDOS +47 87
#note Best play!
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AEHIJLO L4 JIAO +30 122
#note missed 10B JAILO(R). This opening of the left side was totally unwarranted #findingsmall
>Johnny_Utah: FFOORSZ M2 ROOF +30 117
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AADEHLU E7 HAULED +26 148
#note I was too afraid of all the lanes on this board. I should still just play HEA(R)D because it scores well. I felt like I needed to be proactive and try and go for blanks and stuff, but yeah... #tacticssmall L(E)HUA 9F is also an option
>Johnny_Utah: FIIRSWZ D11 WIZ +41 158
#note Best play.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?ALNNQS 4D QA. +24 172
#note damn, I should possibly get rid of the blank here with Q(u)IN or c(I)NQ 2G, never considered it. Parallels with ELQRST? opening rack I guess. #questionable
>Johnny_Utah: EFIIRSY 2J FIE.Y +38 196
#note Best play!
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?ELNNSX E3 L.X +38 210
>Johnny_Utah: EGIORST J8 .RESTIGO +67 263
>Johnny_Utah: EGIORST -- -67 196
#note This turn helped to cost me this game. 9G EGO sets up a nice lane. Why did I think PRESTIGO* was good? Was i thinking of a pasta brand?
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?AEENNS C5 ENSNArE +64 274
#note M7 ANNEXES is 7 more but this has certain advantages as you will see later.
Josh: I completely missed ANNExES. This should have cost me the game, this is a very bad mistake. #findinglarge
>Johnny_Utah: EGIORST G2 GO +11 207
#note Still 9G EGO I think.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AHILOUV 13G .AVIL +14 288
#note now look at the mess I'm in. He is almost definitely bonusing and his post-bonus rack will probably be better than mine.
>Johnny_Utah: EINPRST M1 P.... +10 217
#note This is terrible. First missed bingo of the tournament. REPRINTS G10. I did not see this post mortem.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: HINOOOU 1M .OH +29 317
#note I was beyond shocked he hadn't bonused.
>Johnny_Utah: EEINRST M7 RETINES +73 290
#note Best. Hit the bingo this time at least.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AILNOOU L9 ULAN +18 335
>Johnny_Utah: ?ACEENR H12 E.R +9 299
#note I spent forever on this turn which put me into time trouble. Then I cam up with this gem, and it's probably the best play that I had of the year. The Championship Player doesn't find this, going with K11 CAL instead which doesn't seem to accomplish much. My play rockets to the top when added to a sim and when over 80% of the time. I hold all of the hooks to this EAR and Josh can only block if he has the last E.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: EIIOOTT I13 .ET +8 343
#note Of course Josh has the last E which was symptomatic of how this tournament went. And now thanks to my next draw I can't play any -EST bingos.
>Johnny_Utah: ?ACENRV 11K V.. +12 311
#note No CAVERNS CRAVENS. I botched this turn. Just take 33 for VENT, keep the blank and hope to outrun. Things aren't good at this point.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BIIOOTU 15I .OUT +5 348
>Johnny_Utah: ?ACENRW 4L ..W +13 324
#note N9 ANEW has a great shot of winning. I was tunneled into bingos.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BIIORTY N6 BY +21 369
#note Looks best for Josh. Saves TORII and blocks my bingo SCANTER.
>Johnny_Utah: ?ACENRT 15H r....ER +27 351
>Johnny_Utah: ?ACENRT -- -27 324
#note I misdesignated the blank. I was -30 over and nothing wins.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: IIORT B3 TORII +15 384
#note Best
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: (?ACENRT) +16 400
#note Final score 400-294 due to -30 time penalty. I missed a good chance to win with ANEW, just tunneled into bingo finding.
