SPC31: W 457-453. My aniseed, his jester 51. My reloaned, carmine. His za 44, frat 51 b2b. Cackles 96 on his penultimate turn, but he draws the W. I W-stick him and squeeze out a winning sequence with just 4 min left on the clock! Tourney end: 20-11 +719, 4th and $500! #scrabble

SPC30: W 463-395. Cagey start and I pull into a bingo lead early on with any bingos. His airiest, my fichu 55, enigmata b2b to regain 100 pt lead. Kept things tight after that and drew both blanks to see it out and guarantee a cash finish with 1 game to go! 19-11 +715 #scrabble

SPC29: L 391-484. Started with tabefied. Got bogged down with lots of consonants and he caught up. Then the turning point was my hive, immediately giving him tarwhine 9x 167! I got scillas at the end to narrow the spread. 18-11 +647 #scrabble

SPC27: W 448-384. His unageing, ostiole to go up 90 early on. My maumets and a last ditch bingo outdrive at the end to seal it! With this win, and the other top game result not going my way, the finalists are now locked in and my chances are now zero. 18-9 +807 #scrabble

SPC26: W 468-391. My vatical, entailed and mineolas in the first 6 moves put me in great shape for the rest of the game as my opponent didn't bingo as I had locked up the board. This actually keeps incredibly faint hopes of the finals alive. 17-9 +743 #scrabble

SPC25: W 511-318. Down a bit early on, but once I got reloans down the floodgates opened. My goramies 89, weak 44, queme 46 and dozens 79 all b2b to take a huge win and end the losing streak for the day. 16-9 +666 #scrabble

SPC24: L 386-472. His levitate. I struggle early and fall 111 pt behind. I breakout with spinnet, qin 49, ossetra to take a lead. But he plays a stylish toadied as a 7 tile overlap! His xyst 69 puts it beyond doubt. My hopes of making the finals is in smoke. 15-9 +473 #scrabble

SPC23: L 459-470. I start well with demarks and ougiyas. His raindate, fusilier to tie it up. His serried take a small lead. His next play of eloin blocks my bingos in two different lanes. I fish for two turns and get epistled, but I needed to hit immediately. 15-8 +559 #scrabble

SPC22: L 404-486. On stream! He starts with batoned, and soon after gaieties. My agasting, his hayride. I forego a bingo and play almud 57 keeping R? though i actually bingo with restoral two moves later. I leave the Z in the bag which would've only cut spread 15-7 +570 #scrabble

SPC21: W 450-345. I score heavy on a tight board with the QJX on first 3 turns. His anagogic, my autobus. Lucky to draw the other blank and bingo again with anterior. A much needed 3-0 afternoon sesh! 7 more games to decide the finalists! Day 3 end: 15-6 +652, 3rd #scrabble

SPC20: W 405-393. My livings, antired but still even. I get a third bingo with couthie which I later learn, blocks his remel(ti)ng. Plagued with vowels, but keep picking esses and the AD hook is still available at the bottom. But I block with sober to seal it. 14-6 +547 #scrabble

SPC19: W 479-337. Level until midway where I get borstal and screeds shortly after. He doesn't bingo in the end, but was nice to play engirt blocking zig along the triple, and then extending equated to coequated for 63 to go out! 13-6 +535 #scrabble

SPC18: L 492-518. My futchels 4x 114! His guilders, noilier b2b. My siamang, his atonias. Level near the end and he phonies with corkings*. My dottier and draw ANPPQTU, his ravelers and draws ADEEJR. I can't score well twice and he has jarred 48 to seal it. 12-6 +393 #scrabble

SPC17: W 484-435. My waulking. His weize 51, my ox 56. I work my way into a 100pt lead, and he gets reeling. Pivotal moment, I have evasion in two spots, faro or reelings. Reelings would have given him montanes 9x 149! Phew! His profits, my sleeper to end. 12-5 +419 #scrabble

SPC16: L 358-488. On stream! A frustrating game in front of the cameras as I have no less than 4 moves with unplayable bingos, and didn't play a bingo all game. His gurnets, frothier, paywall. His squiz at the end for good measure. 11-5 +370 #scrabble

SPC15: W 458-449. His requoted, homagers b2b to start. My godspeed 102, retooled. Close midgame but I needed to open up to have more ways to win. Lucky I draw Z? and can score well down the stretch and just about get my nose over the finish line first! 11-4 +500 #scrabble

SPC14: L 390-444. His insolent, my cutinise. His daunered, jadelike put me 80 down. Trying to muster a bingos with the blank and finally get tutelage, but there wasn't enough tiles to finish the comeback. Day 2 end: 10-4 +491, 3rd #scrabble

SPC13: W 441-429. His asteria, my annotate, tix 55, khi 45. His agender. Behind and with lots of vowels and QSSS unseen. I have none and was in bad shape. He plays QIS with another I unseen. He fails to play QI and my unexpected (W)A(Q)F 57 outruns everything! 10-3 +533 #scrabble
