1-0-0 3 pts.

Game 2 don’t know his name (15+)
Note: We mixed up the divisions early due to a software malfunction.
I go first with only basic Clamperl attach energy. Next turn 20+ para and the turn after Huntail 40 game.
2-0-0 6pts.

Game 3 Benjamin (15+)
LOUSY START!!!, but I WAS SOOO HAPPY WHEN I GOT A BASIC. He got 2 prizes before I did anything but when Huntail was powered up 4 straight prizes because his only big was Claydol (fighting) and he was weak to Huntail.
3-0-0 9pts.

Game 4 Alexander (11-14)
Note: at this time him and I were the only ones who won all 3 games yet (in the whole tourney), but prior to the tourney my mom caught him and his dad sharing cards.
I GO FIRST WITH ONLY CLAMPERL AGAIN! (Note: I did all 4 times) I attach a [w] and then he goes. He had only a Rhyhorn so he attaches a [f] and does double stab 2 tails. Then my turn I evolve to Gorebyss attach [p] 30 double due to weakness GAME
4-0-0 12pts.

Game 1 Luke (11-14)
I had to sacrifice two guys but then my snow-cloud Castform won me the game.
1-0-0 3pts.

Game 2 don’t know his name (11-14)
I had absolutely nothing in this game so I tried to stall with my snow-cloud Castform. I paralyzed 3 turns in a row and drew life herb HEADS, but still I had nothing except benched pokemon that had nothing on them and a snow-cloud Castform with a {w}(he had a Regice ex powered and Medicham (non-holo), but this was followed by 3 more turns of heads. I FINALLY GOT A TAILS but he then got a tails as well for sleep. LOL and then my stalling went on for about 20 TURNS. I was so lucky. By then got a powered up Starmie and Sealeo so I got rid of Medicham with my Starmie Regice ex comes out 60 then I do 60 back he knocks me out then I used Sealeo to knock him out (I already had one prize prior to knowing Medicham out). I should have lost I lucked out.
2-0-0 6pts.

Game 3 TRUK (15+) (a fellow member of team Cupertino)
Note: prior to the game I offered him an id but he said I did not want for us to ruin each other’s chances at a box (since we are friends, but he declined).
I was at the mercy of his Metang (psychic) and then he retreated when he got some damage. The Walrein came out but I had no energy. Finally I got energy then I took control of the game and used Starmie to knock a benched guy for the win,
3-0-0 9pts.

Game 4 Jessica (11-14) (a fellow member of team Cupertino)
Note: prior to me playing Jessica she only won one game weird why I played her
Walrein and Metang came out quickly control was mine, but she did get out some big hitters and once again I ended the game with Starmie

Game 5 Jared (15+)
Note: prior to this game we were the only ones who were undefeated. He was bragging that he was going to win his division. Ticked me off. I wanted to win so I offered him an id (I feared since I played someone with 2 less wins then me then I would lose a tie in my division due to resistance) once again I was denied. I think if TRUK won his game and I won mine he would have lost the tiebreaker he had some nerve.
So he had Feebas and Minun I had Clamperl. He did ascension no Milotic Ha in his Prizes. The I attach the its his turn. He retreats attaches [g] to Minun 20 damage reduced to 10. Then I was forced to evolve to Huntail fearing he had a [l] for the win so I do 20 his turn. He had no [l] so 20 back and I had to return an energy, so I could not knock him out. Another 20 to him. Once again no [l] so he returns the 20 and I return an energy. Then I knock him out leaving him with only

I was once again the overall winner only one undefeated
