Scrabble game results

Name (running total) Name (running total) Name (running total) Name (running total)
Rob Steve James Calum
10 9 16 7
13 (23) 24 (33) 20 (36) 13 (20)
34 (57) 13 (46) 28 (64) 29 (15)
30 (87) 24 (70) 18 (82) 15 (44) – then Calum had to leave, so I replaced him
11 (98) 20 (90) 18 (100) 11 (55)
18 (116) 21 (111) 8 (108) 92 (147)
9 (125) 20 (131) 10 (118) 4 (151) – I finished first

By official Scrabble tournament rules, this would’ve been

-7 (118) -8 (123) -1 (117) +16 (167)

but Rob, Steve and James decided to play on (ah, well, house rules -
but that messes up end-game strategy! mrph).

David was appropriately impressed by the 92-point move. So was I.
Steve was annoyed with James for leaving me with that opportunity. I wasn’t. =)
