Well, in what I believe was their first CC of the year (I know it was Jimmy's), Jason and Jimmy took 1st and 2nd respectively. I'm sure this is no coincidence and we'll be seeing a pattern develop. Stay tuned for more and discuss if you like. (including Alex because he deserves it)

No Jimmy only lost to Jason (in swiss and the finals).

Jason went undefeated on the day I believe.
Edit: Late info - 1 game loss in top cut.

The bad thing is..losing to them hurts your rankings. Their wins, other than for the medals and such, do not help them get get any closer to Worlds from the rankings for obvious reasons.

I have a feeling that at the end of the year, many of the top 8 a) already have trips or b) win their trip at Nats.. so 9-14 in the rankings may not be such a bad place to be for some folks.:thumb:

Dave - Guess who my two losses were to? Yep! Jason (top 4)and Jimmy(swiss). Too bad that won't be reflected in my rating:frown:

I have 11 decks in my deck bag. I believe 8 of them would have won that tournament!!!

The only trick is to get Ness or Jimmy to agree to play them.
 
Jason used Mewtric and Jimmy used Eeveelutions v2. Chuck was disqualified for playing Rock-Lock and then switching to Dragtrode for top cut.
 
Jason's girlfriend, Danny

played Mewtrick. I see everyone reporting about their winning records. I was thinking of reporting my 2-3 Arcadoom but I reconsidered. I'll just say I snaked eyes on my second turn Dual Ball vs. Jason and it was Arcanine Ex vs. his safeguard Banette. GG. Then it all went down hill from there, just couldn't get the other basics out.
