Explanation sent upon request.

Here's what you sent me, so everyone can see:
So, after taking a second look, I came up with this. I remembered making lots of pairs, so this makes sense.
B2 - pair (UR + URB)
U' D2 - sets up edges + pair (FR + FDR)
L' D' F R - sets up 2 pairs (UL + UFL) (UR + FDR, F' off))
U' D - combine 2 pairs + edge
L' - place edge
F B - solve
Okay, so I saw the first three moves just fine - in fact, I'm pretty sure I spent quite a bit of time with that sequence myself. The part I don't understand is: how did you figure out the next 4 moves: L' D' F R? To me it looks like all those moves do is break up what you've already worked so hard to build. It seems like the pairs you create early on don't even help in your overall F2L - 1. So how did you come up with L' D' F R?

As stated in the PM, the notes have already been trashed, so I'm just going off of what I see.

From what I see, the L' D' F was probably intended to pair up UL + UFL, while it actually paired that up as well as the other pair. The R was to place edge in alignment and set the other pair to be inserted in the back 2x2x1

I will only be doing main or no events (like this week) for the next few months, too busy. :(
Of course, I won't stop practicing in general. It was nice getting 3rd in grand total last year!

Prelims: congrats Simon, Cuber952 and CuberMan

Just a little reminder, if you post results both here and at Odders site, please don't
use a username that differs only in case. (Like Xxxxx and xxxxx). It's confusing to
me and the result calculation program.

Thanks.

May I ask you why after B2, you decide to switch to the reverse scramble? I would like to learn. Thanks.

I didn't until blockbuilding on the normal scramble starting with B2 wasn't satisfactory for me and then I decided to switch to the inverse scramble.
