Shaun Goatcher's monthly one-day tournament in Mississauga ON was slightly less heavily attended than usual, perhaps because of all the other tournaments this month (CWSCQT, Toronto Club, Buffalo). The first division was decided in a close race: after five games, six people were tied at 3-2; and after six games, the four who were still tied at 4-2 each played noncontenders. The high point of my tournament was watching Libero Paolella bingo six times (TESTIFY TANGLiE-R T-RAINMEN OU-T-SAILS LON-G-SPUR sTAINER) to beat me 590-284 in the last round to win the tournament. This narrowly beat out the previous contender for high point, when I realised that Mike Wise had triple-tripled INJURiES against me for 185 points, a wasted effort in a tournament with no high word prize. The low point was probably hearing that Lynda Wise had beaten me out for the Weird Word prize with her ECHOGRAM to my DOOFUS.

My games:

  1. 482-293 vs John Dafoe; my IRONISt LIANOID INFAUNA$ and both blanks to his RETILES.
  2. 371-301 vs Rama Murty; my PASTORED$ and both blanks to nothing, though he scored 36 for OSPRE-Y and retaught me CHIEL(D)(S).
  3. 385-493 vs Mike Wise; my ADEPTER A-N-AEmIAS and one blank to his DIALOGER$ IN-J-URiES.
  4. 365-383 vs Lynda Wise; my LaCTONE and one blank to her RESISTs GAINFUL. Chickened out on VESTINGS early on. Bah.
  5. 341-385 vs Linda Gomes; my AE-R-ATION TRIENNI-A$ to her G-rANDEsT and both blanks.
  6. 336-378 vs Tim Anglin; my SOLATION FACETES* to his ENGENdER UNBOLTED and both blanks. Misanalysed endgame, thought I could win without risking uncertain but seen REPULSER$, didn't, couldn't.
  7. 284-590 vs Libero Paolella; see above.

Moral of the story: draw both blanks, and play bingos if they look familiar.
