What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Odd Numbers (8 odd tiles). Second option: Consecutive Numbers.

Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.

The strongest category here is Odd Numbers (8 odd tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Consecutive Numbers.

Keep and pass

Build around: 3 Bam, 5 Bam, 7 Bam, 1 Crak, 3 Dot, 5 Crak, 9 Crak, 9 Dot.

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

Soap (White): an unpaired Soap (White), and your direction is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)

6 Dot: it does nothing for Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9), and it sits outside your Bam run, so it does less for your second option, Consecutive Numbers, than your Bam tiles

8 Crak: it does nothing for Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9), and it sits outside your Bam run, so it does less for your second option, Consecutive Numbers, than your Bam tiles
