Everybody--

After looking at this for 10 seconds and coming up with the obvious play of KORE at 1l, I studied it for 20 minutes more and could find nothing better for points, rack and leave. KOLA leaves the double R with three more in the pool, and KART keeps two vowels on the rack with a very vowel-heavy pool to draw from. I don't like the LR leave from ORATE (b2), and besides, that leaves the K spot and doesn't open as much.

There are other plays with a better leave than ALRT, but if we fall too far behind, a bingo will be a necessity to catch up. If somebody finds something I like better I might change from KORE, as I suggested in the post that John referred to. That's what I meant by vote, listen and revote, but only if desired. Hope this isn't making more work for Poslfit, who deserves great ccredit for undertaking this.
