I played in Division 2 of the Abilene tourney this past weekend. The tournament was fun (translated: I placed 3rd) and I feel like I played better than I did in Dallas. I had three bingos challenged: BOOZIER, FANGLIKE, and CREOLISE; and I got away with several phonies of which only a few were intentional :). I gained a few rating points, and so did Chad. But big congrats to Gabe who gained 198 rating points with his 6-5 record.

Also, I noticed that cross-tables.com has a list of the top 20 rating increases for the last 12 months. Abilene results are not posted yet, but I made the list at number 10 with 403 and I might make it up to number 7 with the Abilene results.
