Division 1 @ Mountain View - Oct 18

First time in Division1!!

My first three games were with Jerry Lerman, John Karris and Kevin Fraley -- lot of fun. :)

Ended up with 2-4, but my rating hasn't dropped a whole lot -- apparently that was what was expected of me. :)

Game 1 - John
John was still talking about my winning streak, and after a close victory, it continued.

bingos played - QUANTILE, WATCHED, COASTERS

Game 2 - Jerry

I gave Jerry a hard fight, was close. In hindsight, the ENALASE* try gave it away. Lost the game by 3 points after going out with a bingo.

bingos played - MIAOWED, ENSLAVER, MONGEESE, KNOCKED, ORIFICE

phonies - ENALASE* (challenged off)

Game 3 - Kevin

Kevin got a triple-triple down but I was not too far behind until he played another bingo towards the end and I missed my triple-triple of HEMOCOEL! That would have been something. But the triple-triple play was really awesome.

bingos played - BONIFACE, TREADING, OBSERVED, TAILERS, ENTERAL

phonies - URALIDES* (challenged off)

Game 4 - Alan

Missed some OUT words with two blanks!! Also missed a bunch of bingos at the beginning of the game.

bingos played - ANTSIER, LATINOS

Game 5 - Isaac

All my games were so far behind (probably because I had to set up my computer in between, and the recount of game2). But I was kind of stressed, and among other things that were lined up for after the games, I was pretty much switched off after game4. In this game, the PORGY move probably cost me the whole game!

bingos played - CAGIEST, SHELVES, CRANIATE

Game 6 - Paula

I was so switched off by now. I was just playing something randomly.

bingos played - SOLIDEST, GRITTED, COWERING
