Ghost of a Chance (Durham 03/20/10)
Another successful Scrabble tourney in Durham this weekend. In my first tournament in D1 (but comparable in strength to the D2 field in Charlotte), I came away with a 7-1 record, +427 spread, $180 for first place and 85 more rating points to bump up to 1560. I say "came away" because by all rights I should have been 5-3.

Not worthy of a full-fledged entry, but had a fun game last night at our informal Raleigh club against Charles Smith. Halfway through I play FRONTED, placing the D in 15K. My next rack is DELOORS, and I'm thinking to myself "Holy crap there's a triple-triple bingo there! Surely Charles will block it." And he did, playing APO alongside the TED of FRONTED. Now all I'm left with is DOODLERS for 99 instead of 149. So bizarre to get a triple-triple non-bingo like that. Later in the game I played through the AT with GyRATIONS for 74. 9's are pretty uncommon for me to find so I was happy to find one.
