Good afternoon, OQuaSSA!

Our awards ceremony will take place on the livestream after the conclusion of the finals. There will be prizes for the top finishers but also prizes based on grade level. So keep playing strong to the end!
And a few reminders for players:
—Resignations are not allowed! You cannot quit or resign before a game ends. Please play to the end to be fair to your opponent.
—If your opponent does not appear at the start of play or resigns, or if you experience any other confusing situation, please text director Ben Greenwood at 339-223-4563.
—You cannot watch the livestream while you are playing. You cannot have any other open windows on your browser while playing. Your phone cannot be in the same room where you are playing. By participating in this event you have agreed NOT to use ANY source of word knowledge outside of your brain!
—Please check the standings to make sure your record is accurate.
—Good luck and have fun!

Word List
Because ISC does not include an option for the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, OQuaSSA will be using the TWL, the source for sanctioned North American Scrabble Players Association play. The NASPA list includes "offensive" words and a few other words not found in the OSPD.
Click here to print a copy of the TWL Cheat Sheet, which differs slightly from the Cheat Sheet for school and home play. Players can use the Cheat Sheet to prepare for the tournament, but may not consult it during play.
