Hugh 0ne Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Anyone seen Hugh 0ne? I won't be very available until Monday, I apologize in advance. I'll start the game and do my best but I'll be driving about 10 hours Friday and Saturday so I probably won't be able to play at all during most of those days.

tonorator Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah sorry, I've been way sick since Saturday, so our game stalled out until yesterday. We're about done and I'm almost about to give up though. SNICKERSer roasted me trying to set up a triple-letter tile to use a Q for qi, and will probably be the difference. He even called me out and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 So any more results? Feels like this thing ground to a halt. Who's in the elite 8 so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmypg Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Egret & I have 47 tiles left in the sweet 16. He's up 9 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Gopher beat me 418 - 339 Edit: after he used up all his tiles to spell strengthen, he held the lead the rest of the way.. I also would like to add that maybe we could re-seed everyone out of the remaining 8 based on their scores Edited April 6, 2012 by Avernus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also would like to add that maybe we could re-seed everyone out of the remaining 8 based on their scores Meh...I think you'd find the scores bunched up with an average around 390, and really your score has a lot to do with quality of opponent. Better players don't leave a J hanging by a triple word, for example. But I'm definitely in favor of another tourney after this one, and seed it based on results from this tourney. This taco is fun.

I also would like to add that maybe we could re-seed everyone out of the remaining 8 based on their scores Not intending to sound cliche, but that game was way closer than the final score makes it appear. You're absolutely right... I think it was my opening play, where I was able to use all seven tiles to play "strengthen." After that, it seemed like I was just (barely) one step ahead of you, the rest of the game. I'd play to get a 30-50 point lead, then you'd play to get back to within 10-15. Rinse, repeat. Seemed like a defensive battle, in that neither one of us set up the other, yet the final score was still fairly high. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...I tried to hang in there so maybe I could deliver on a big play but I never had or saw the opportunity to capitalize and even if I did, you came right back with something in the ballpark... Definitely a good game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Gopher - 422 Dirty Sanchez - 363 Gopher got the Q, Z, J, and X and scored big on all of them. I couldn't fight back with my bad racks. This needs to be best 2 out of 3 next time to avoid losing rounds in games like this. Good game and good luck, Gopher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
