We had announced all day Team Focus, and there would be some suprizes, the packs were supprise 1

Then they were seated for play, told to search their decks for any pokemon they wanted to start with as their active pokemon.

Next, we took the two teammates decks, and shuffled them together then out of the combined cards, dealt out their decks. This was done between each game best 3 out of 3.

Hahaha, that's so cool! I would have loved to play in top 4, or at least seen it, but I had to go.

Thanks for an awesome weekend, Mr. Mike!
 
For clarification :)

*Chalmette,Louisiana

My family moved from Chalmette,LA to Carriere,MS when I was 3 years of age and have resided in Mississippi since. LA and MS both feel like home due to being so close to the LA/MS state line and having numerous family and friends in both states.

To the MS PTO,thanks for running some great tournaments this past weekend,I am glad I could reclaim the title as state champion and enjoyed the doubles tournament even more.

To the LA PTO,I hear I missed out on a great time in Baton red face paint,if only the events didn't conflict!

A huge thanks to both PTO's for their dedication to the game,and the numerous events they have put on;not just this season,but over the years! :)

I'm not sure why the site censored the name of the city and changed it to

"red face powder"

lulz :)

Brent, you are all Mississippi!
Just messing with Mike. He always said he likes it when locals win, so now he got one. Watch out for Pants, Jr. next year!
Congrats on your win!
