Finals 2 (students)

The students start the game more quickly than they ended the last one. Things look good, but we are seeing OWO*, but Joshua says we've only seen three phonies so far, which is good.

Joshua says the boys are drawing very well and it is going to be hard for the girls to win. The boys have ?ADENRT right now.

They play ANTiRED and it is a great play.

The girls have a bingo! ANGELUS is one of them :) AEGLNSU. (LAGUNES, and LANGUES). Do they know it? They miss that bingo.

We don't see it here, but John tells me that in the room, the girls lose a challenge with EA HA.

The girls played RETINAS/PA/IS, woo hoo! WE are now at 152-201 in the boys favor.

The boys respond with QUOD quite quickly. Girls lose challenge on QUOD OR DE. Boys overdraw Girls expose IFS, boys lose the S.

The boys hold ?ADENRS, 283-232 lead.

Eventually the blank goes into their play of JUkES.

We had some connectivity issues between the playing room and the viewing room and thus weren't able to interact live with some portions of this exciting second game. Sorry about that! It will be better next time!

The boys win this one, too, 437-344.

Thus Eric & Evan JMNR (Jack) are the inaugural champions of the 2016 Canadian School SCRABBLE Invitational!
