• Lanre and I had an exciting final game replete with 6 bingos. The format of the tourney was 14 games last 3 KOH. Saturday 9 games Sunday 5 games.
  
  After 9 games Anita was on 8/9, Lanre on 7/9 and myself on 6/9. Sunday had those same players ending 1-2-3 but in a slightly different order! Going into the final round Lanre was on 11/13 Anita in 3rd on 8.5/13 and myself lying second on 9/13. Anita played Pam and I played Lanre in the final round. Anita had just played him twice and lost both after taking a point off him yesterday.
  
  I started with XU against Lanre and he bingos with
  
  EGIOPRT through my U!
  
  On 79 vs his 141 I bingo with
  AANEIRS through the T of his GOUTIEST (a non-bingo)
  He bingos with HEIORRT using the F of FUCI for 104
  I counter immediately with EFILLRS and he counters immediately with
  A(E)EEGKL through my S.
  I counter immediately with ADMNOOW adjacent to his previous bingo making 6 words for 96. Score 348 to his 339. He plays QAnaT for 42 and pulls ahead. I pick the blank and drop DeNY to introduce balance. I hold AANNOW? and play hWAN for 20 (missed LOWAN) to take me to 377 with Lanre on 399. He plays BOLDER to take him to 429 and I am sitting with AHINOZ?  with nowhere to put it down and had to settle for ZONA/WO/KOA/AN for 45 to take me to 422. Lanre plays out with BAiT and gets 10 from me. Final score 464/422 and the best part of the game was when we played 4 bingos in a row!
  
  The top 5 were:
  
  LANRE 12/14 +1310
  ANITA 9.5 +304
  LLEWELLIN 9 +727
  *GERALD 9 +342
  *TAMMY 9 +245
  
  *Nice to see husband and wife together! Anita drew against Debbe earlier in the day and Gerald who just came off a Cape League win also had a close game aginst Lanre. I lost my first against Tammy when I thought I had won on 345 to her 339 only to discover I had given myself 10 points too many 7 turns before! Aargghh. I also lost a close game to Gwen by 12 in a game when holding ADEHRTY (2 words) at the end and nowhere to play it.
  
  Per game I averaged 420 score, +52 spread and 2 bingos (total bingos 29 in the 14 games)
