SOAKAGE in Round 5. Poor Amy...the Numbers Rounds ultimately sealed her fate...despite getting close enough in R14 it wasn't enough to have a safe win.
Re: Spoilers for 29th May 2018
Nevertheless I thought the standard was a helluva lot better than yesterday and Amy made a great comeback and was unlucky at the end because I thought she had sealed the deal with the numbers. Although not high scoring, was great to watch...

Re: Spoilers for 29th May 2018
Great game. Was hoping Amy would make octochampdom but dunno if she was good enough on the numbers. I was against Amy
This is what I saw in the selections
1: dotages
2: etalons
3: ((10+4)*50)-9=691
4: lounger
5: Poles
6: ((8+3)*50)-(7/7)=549
7: rises
8: maestro
9: ((10+10)*50)-(8*2)=984
10: outearn
11: moaned
12: frame
13: pointier
14: (75+25)+(2*4)+3=111
111*8=888
15: considered blacklist put didn't buzz.
Won with a score of 72-62

Glad Amy beat me when I had outearn cause while it's in, Susie disallowed it in October. Also, is dotage valid for the current dictionary? Don't know if it changed at the start of the year
