Now that all the info about the decks from yesterday have been put together, I might as well make a complete results list (both after swiss and after top 2)
Standings after Swiss:
1st: Adam Vernola w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Kyurem
2nd: Andrew Temen w/ Durant
3rd: Jay Hornung w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik
4th: Josh Wittenkeller w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Zekrom
5th: Vincent Blasko w/ Zekrom/Tornadus/Eelektrik
6th: Adam Bigott w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Thundurus/Zekrom
7th: Austin Reed w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Thundurus
8th: Jeffrey Hanna w/ Zekrom/Tornadus/Eelektrik
Final Standings
1st: Jeffrey Hanna w/ Zekrom/Tornadus/Eelektrik
2nd: Andrew Temen w/ Durant
3rd: Jay Hornung w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik
4th: Vincent Blasko w/ Zekrom/Tornadus/Eelektrik
5th: Adam Vernola w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Kyurem
6th: Josh Wittenkeller w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Zekrom
7th: Adam Bigott w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Thundurus/Zekrom
8th: Austin Reed w/ Magnezone/Eelektrik/Thundurus
So in the end, Eelektrik-based decks dominated in both swiss and top cut in Oswego. Because of this, I can see a lot of Terrakion, Landorus, and Donphan based decks to be played a lot tomorrow to prevent those Eel decks from dominating another city.

Will anyone have Pokegear 3.0 up for trade at the tournament on the 2nd? I'm planning on using it in place of some other cards.

I'll bring some. If you don't know me, I'll be helping set up the venue with Jimmy the PTO.

^ Disagree with the "huge turnout" part. We had something like 46 Masters, not even close to the 70 or so we had in Streamwood.

Mike Lesky won with Magnezone/Eelektrik. It's okay to post the full names of Masters, right?

I disagree with your disagreement.
95 total players.... This is a HUGE city championship by comparison. just because the masters division wasnt as large doesnt mean it wasnt a big event. 21 juniors, 20 seniors, and 54 masters is a great balanced event.
Overall we had a great run of events. Great players and patient parents have made for a great week of pokemon.
More to come later....

Vernolazone - 10-2 in swiss, 11-3 combined
I believe the Durant was David V.

Magnezone/Eelektrik won in mastes in Des Plaines, IL, I see. If that's so, then this the first time Magnezone/Eelektrik has won a city in all of Illinois! That's a promising sign; it looks like it is still a good deck to use around here.:thumb:

Just as an FYI:
Joliet: 15/17/63 = 95
Streamwood: 15/22/71 = 108
Countryside: 19/19/56 = 94
Huntley: 14/22/61 = 97
Oswego: 9/19/57 = 85
Des Plaines: 21/19/55 = 95
A roughly 95 average for the first ever Marathon in the Midwest. I'm impressed ^_^

We just want to take a moment to thank and share our deep appreciation to Jimmy Ballard, his family, and his staff for putting on the Marathon! We know this takes a lot of time, effort, and sleep deprivation! These were the most well run tournaments day after day! It's nice to be able to leave after the kids top cut and still have daylight! If anyone wants to know how to run an event, Jimmy and Deb should be your teachers!

These were literally the most efficiently run events I've ever seen. One event was so on time it was almost annoying that we didn't have that little bit of extra time to eat! So used to having pokemon events that are delayed a bit for one reason or another.
