Bargaining
Mary was red-faced and looked as though she was about to cry. "Please," she said, her voice cracking and almost at a whisper, "if we finish now then the spread will be 302 and we'll never be able to win the tournament. Please, we don't deserve to lose all hope in the first round."
Theresa's face was implacable as she set down GI and increased the spread to 307.

Greg - oof, I would hate to be in a position that required bargaining with Theresa over a Scrabble board. I think I almost feel sorry for Mary.
