The Team Tourney event was probably the event of the week. I guess I'll let others fill you in on the highlights.
In game 1, the Glarers played "GLARER" through an L to block a triple-triple line. After we challenged that off the board, I told my partner to pick between MILLINED and MILLIPED, neither of which I knew to be good, but my partner (who hasn't played Scrabble in three years) picked MILLIPED for 149 points as an out play to win. The Glarers, unfazed (and not distracted by team TOPLESS), shrugged off the loss and won the tourney.
