The one with 5 letters T is in a straight line middlish in grid..

The other two sort of bend reading up and to the right and left respectively from the top of the T word.

My only minor quibble is that one of the four points of attachment of the lines differs from the other three.

How do 20 REP and 32 TIEPIN work?

A in wordplay is per-recalled or in reverse to give rep.

Tie - match in tournament pink is word for extreme less the K or 'nearly'

Thanks dja. I've understood them now.

Full grid with all the highlights and lines in but can't parse these please:
10a Comic character most frequently seen in Rupert Bear --art is foremost (6)
29d Hungarian prisoner from former USSR camp tucks into Scotch eggs for starters (6)

10ac (A) MUSE + R (letter appearing most in RB)

Thanks for that explanation unclued... i just couldn't see it!

29dn SE outside ZEK and L is not used.

Thanks again ... i had forgotten that L (had the other 8 & promptly forgot the L!)
