~Dallas, Texas~City Championships~

[Spectreon]

Hey Johnny, you got first... congrats... good to know I lost in the top 8 to the winner, though my only other loss was to the guy accros from you challenging for first... great job....

And I didnt go hom empty handed either.... Made top 8 twice, technically... Poinko/Phil ran my red face paint Riachu deck I built oh so long ago, and my Ninekin also took a spot... combined together for a 7-4-1...

Also claimed the big GBA tourney!!! See what happens when you waste 600+ hours on your gba.... I need a life...

Hunted!

Hey all,

Great tourney! It seemed all day that everyone was hunting me and my "FOSSIL" deck. Overall I was not at all disappointed. Congrats Patriach *swallows his pride* Good win! Not exactly sure how you did it, but you did.

I will be posting a complete tourney report tonight. Including the near disaterous Multi energy ruling.

peace,
jimmy

Hey all,

Congrats Patriarch *swallows his pride* Good win! Not exactly sure how you did it, but you did.

Well, you know how a Blaziken variant wins if there's a Dunsparce within the first turn or two (or three -.-"")? That's how I did it, that's how Taylor did it in Fort Worth and Houston, and that's how countless other folk have done it. Lol, just jokin' with ya. Glad to have you on Team Texas, Jimmy!

God, I can't wait 'til I run MAD in States. Then BEX will fear! Oh, yes it will!!

Also Spec, our game was definitely my favorite of the tournament. If I lost that game, then I would've been pleased to see you claim the CC, as well. BIG kudos on that Raichu ex deck you made for Poinko! Creativity at its best!

I will be looking forward to reading your "Tournament Report", tonight. I will also, later today be posting a "Tournament Summary" on this thread. Good job on the "Multi Energy" issue.

There was one important thing that I did not announce at the beginning of the "Dallas City Championships". I always tell my players at tournaments, "If you (the player) do not agree with a judge's ruling, ask to see it in writing from the Rule Book".

In the "Team Compendium ex", you were correct with your ruling on "Multi Energy". Always, ask to see it in writing. If not under "Multi Energy", ask to see it under the attack. Great job!!!! If you are interested in judging in the future, please contact me. I can always use knowledgable players like you to judge. :clap:

Take care and I am sure that we will cross paths soon. :thumb:

Dallas was fun, I had a great time, as I always do at any events where people get together and play Pokemon! Congratulations to everyone, and I hope to see you in Oklahoma this week!

Summary of Dalals CC....

~Thank you to All of the Pokemon Players @ The Dallas City Championships~

Thanks to all of the Pokemon players that attended the "Dallas City Championships" at the "Doubletree Club Dallas-Park Central" Hotel. :clap: There were quite a variety of Pokemon players at the "Dallas C. C.". We had four players from Oklahoma, three from Colorado, one from Arkansas, two that had moved to the D/FW area from Chicago, eight from Houston, and two from Tyler. There were some decks that we in these parts had not seen before. There were plenty of spin-offs from the "BAR Decks" that were more than I have seen in one tournament so far.

As advertised, there were some heavy weights in each age group. In the "10-Under" age group. there were three players that had already won five "City Championships" between them. There were many former winners of "City Championships" in the other age groups as well.

The winners are:

"10-Under": Austin C. / Houston, Texas

"11-14": Heather L. / Fort Worth, Texas

"15-Over": Johnny "Patriarch" K. / Allen, Texas

Congradulations, to all of the winners of the "Dallas City Championships"!!!! :thumb:

"Spectreon" won the most heated "GBA: Ruby & Sapphire" tournament so far in all of the "City Championships" that I have attended. :clap:

Gilbert V. lll won the "Modified Constructed Deck" tournament where the new cards from the "EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua" were legal to use. :clap:

Thank you to the players for supporting the "City Championships" in the State of Texas!!! I have come to know and become friends with many of the players that have attended these tournaments. I have seen parents that did not play Pokemon-e TCG or even know how to play the game become very good players. Rich A. in the Houston area had not won anything in Pokemon tournaments. In the last two tournaments in the Houston area finished quite well in the Top-8 players in the "15-Over" age group. With the #1 seed in the "Pre-release. :clap:

I have seen Mike C., Mia, and their oldest son, Anthony become very competitive players. Mike C. finished as the sixth seed in the "Dallas City Championships" with 27-players in that age group. It is great to see that the parents of these children are getting involved and playing Pokemon at tournaments. Austin C., their younger son was a very average player when I first met Mike and Mia. He now wears two "City Championship Medallions" around his neck. GREAT JOB, Mia, Mike, and Anthony with helping Austin become a champion and SUPPORTING him in Pokemon. :thumb:

These are a few stories that have unfolded as I jouneyed through the "City Championships" for the State of Texas. I have many more to tell either here or on the "Pokemon-TCG" website. I am tired from entering these tournaments' results. As I leave you tonight, I wish the packs that you open will have all of the Pokemon that you have hoped for.

Take care and I will see you in Oklahoma City at "Game Headquarters" for the last "City Championships" in our area.

God Bless.

Thanks Professor Birch! It's so nice of you to say that. You make it easy with the way you run your tournaments. So, thanks!

I know it's a little late, but I also wanted to thank all of my opponents at the Dallas City Championship. It was my first ever Pokemon tournament. I just learned how to play. No, actually I'm still learning, and I have lots more to learn. That is why I need to thank my opponents for their patience with me, and all their help.

Thanks to everyone, including the judges.... and Diana, too, for all your help!

There's no problem at all with that! It's good to have new players coming in, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to play you in Round 1! *shakes hand*

Can't wait 'til states. See you all there!
