Dayton Results
I went 17-14 in the tournament. I was hoping to do better, but that's not terrible. Mostly, it felt like a lot of games came down to simple luck of the draw. Particularly at the end of the game. I didn't have too many interesting 'end game' plays to be honest.
That, and it seemed like my opponents continually were clobbering me with big X plays all week long.
