You always keep such good records of these things! I write down my racks, but don't look at results or ratings. Why was Nationals a lowlight?

[scrabblek8]

haha - Seth keeps track of these things for me. I just go into crosstables at the end of the year, move all the data into excel and do a few calculations.

Nationals was a lowlight because I sucked at Scrabble and I was trapped in a crummy casino and it was too hot in the world to leave much. All the rest of Nationals was fun enough. Food, friends, etc.

My lowlights were similar. My spread per game (+33) was better than my career average (+30), but my winning percentage in 2013 (60.5) was well below average (62.7). My good letters were too bunched up.
