Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Lusby, MD 12/14/2008

Junior- 6
1st: Dylan A (Scyther/Cherrim)
2nd: Zach H (Lucario)

Senior- 18
1st: Steven Y (Gengar/Dusknoir/Uxie LvX)
2nd: LJ W(T-Tar/Weaville)
3rd: Dean N (Regigigas + Palkia)
4th: Jacob L (Bronzong/Spiritomb/Unown)

Master- 23
1st: Michael P (Regigigas/AMU)
2nd: Kenton A (Togechomp)
3rd: Robbie P (Raichu/Electivire)
4th: Willam W (MimeTrode)
--
5th: David M (Champ/Regirock)
6th: Dave C ( T-Tar/Weaville)

Props
-Tara, for good TO skillz
-Mike and Ryan for having the confidence and knowledge to judge well
-Most diverse metagame ever. Yes, more diverse than HL-on Modified.
-Having +3 World Championship participants among us
-Players we've never seen before in the top cut

Slops
-In the Masters, there were 23 players and 6 of them were 4-1 (no one dropped). 4 of those players made it to top cut; two of them did not. Imagine, having to go undefeated to secure a chance at first place. Just goes to show the absurdity of single elimination. Also goes to show that POP's justification for not allowing premiere events to exceed the minimum number of rounds of swiss (Because there may be no undefeated players at the end of the last round) is silly, because tournaments will end up without an undefeated player anyway
-If you really want a player to lose, don't be noisy about it.

If anyone would like to share their story, I'm always looking for new content for the SoMD Pokémon TCG Page, in the form of tournament reports. If you'd like to submit one, let me know. If anyone has any photographs of this event, let me know. Also, check our first contest on the site.

I have to say ....

The Washingtons are PLEASANTLY surprised at what a class act operation this was.

David said "you're gonna just LOVE playing in Lusby!" ... he was understating it.

Lusby was DA BOMB!!!

Turnout was HOTTNESS!

Competition was SO SO SO SO SO SO diverse... you just didn't know WHAT you'd be up against and the players were good.

I FINALLY got to see who these Pika Brothers are.
It's funny how half the day was Miles vs. Washingons... LOL


PROPS
Aarvarks... for the TO hottness...
Miles family for being really cool to meet
The Miles' brothers dad for being a cool guy to meet and play against (and a really good sport..)
Garch for beating me 3 times today w/ TogaChomp !
The SoMD crowd for actually standing around and routing for my wickedly stupid deck to win .. ROFL!!

Nintales1234 for doing a great job as head judge..
The judges for shuffling Angelica's deck a lot ! ahahahaaa (thanks for real!)

The SENIORS at the tourney. The kids were GOOD people. The overall atmosphere/environment was so fun and inviting. Angelica came away feeling good!

Masters division... nice turnout and competition level ... that felt like a cities.. way to show up guys.

SLOPS...

Thanks for the compliments we were honored to have the Washingons join us and be such great competitors!

Thank you to everyone for attending it was an awesome day and great tournament. Diverse was the name of the day. I love to see so many interesting and unique deck ideas. NO STALE FORMAT HERE!!!

Lets see if we can top Lusby's attendance next Saturday.

See everyone there.
 
Can we ban they random decks that always seem to beat what ever I happen to be playing? :p

How the heck did LJ lose to Duskgar? :/

Isn't that like an ato win for Ttar?
