No, in big national tournaments, that is illegal. Don't do that next time!

So, I have heard that you are not allowed to write future-prospective moves on your scoresheet, you can't write moves ahead of time, and you can't just bring some text (a book, for example) to a USCF tournament you're playing in. At a tournament, I reached a tense position (probably not tense to others but it was to me, I think the two possible moves I had would've produced the same outcome), and I wrote possible lines that could occur in the game on the back of my scoresheet (and good news, I won and set my rating to 800 USCF!). Is that legal, just so I know for the future?
