K, I had just gotten into Worlds the night before in the Grinder so i may have confused the worlds/grinder matches. So excuse me if i'm wrong. I was in 11-14 just to let everyone know.
First my list

Poke 21
4 Dunsparce
4 Spheal
4 Sealio
4 Walreign
2 Growlithe SS
2 Arcanine SS
1 Jirachi

Trainers
4 Stevens Advice
3 Copycat
4 Oracle
2 Atm Rock
3 Desert Ruins
2 Switch
1 Town Volunteers

Energy
14 Water
6 Fire


Match 1 Swampert/Swampert ex 0/0
This was a cool little kid. I started with jirachi and though I was done, He was having a bit of energy drought. He got set up but with no energy. I think i ended up getting a spheal and getting a walreign up quick and such another walreign followed. I atm Rocked for 3 prizes at 1 point a delcatty, magneton, and swampert. It came down to me doing 50 and another 10 with desert ruins to his swampert ex.

Match 2 Magma Deck (An American made one/ not japanese) 1/0
I get set up fast, stall with arcanine and flip a couple of heads with Walreign. It was close though. Cant Remember much else it was a long Weekend.

Match 3 (Lanturn/medicham/Bannete) 2/0
This was some kid from Pokegym forgot his name though. He didnt get the best set up, but i did. Igot going quick and there was nothing he could do. fliped heads with walreign and such. Medicham got me a couple of times because my hand was big. I had to get rid of some cards just to get the hand small. Sorry dont rember much. But i won

Match 4 Amphyrules(Blazekin) 3/0
Wow, This is funny. I started with spheal. he went first atached a fire and tried to burn with torchic, he failed. i went atached and i paralyzed, i ended up getting the whole walreign line in my hand. he went, atached and tried to burn but failed again. I went atched again and decided not to evovle but to try to paralyze thinking i cant just evo to selio next turn for the kill. i flipped got tails, then he flipped and got tails so he was asleep. he looked at me and said "Should of evolved" He rare candyed to blaze and atached for the knock out. He was kool though. I would of been angry, but that was my first lost so it was all kool.

Match 5 (He got top 3 but i dont know his name) (Gardy/Catty/Mag) 3/1
I really dont wanna talk about it. LOL. He was a good player, he decided to use feedback to get arounf Arcanines power.It came down to us both having 3 prizes his turn and time was called. He had 2-3 reversals, he reversaled up dunsparce and did feed back, good job

Match 6 (Shiftry/etc) 3/2
I start with growlithe, i though i was done. I pulled through and got arcanine out and started messin him up. With him being afraid to atack and me doing 60 a turn it was all good.I was so proud of my self.

Match 7 (Never found out) 4/2
I was thinking i would have to convince him to Id, but he was all good with it. He had obviously did the math.


Top 32 (Very interesting Jumpluff/Gorebys) 4/2/1
1st match
I got set up, foud out how to get around that stinkin power of his. This is why Arcanine owns, for a couple of turns he would atack him, but i starter beign able to atack him. and it was nice. i kept forgetting that jumpluff line had resistance had resistance to water :mad: . Owell, It turned out alright. I atm rocked for the win. This match took like 45-55 minutes

2nd match
He won, dont rember much but i just didnt get arcanine up. He got me good. I saw how well the deck could work. This game took like another 20 minutes.

3rd match
I won by time. I had arcanine turn 3-4 i got him up and just ripped threw everything. He was a good guy thoug i told him that i really liked his deck and such.


I was so happy i just got a 1000 scholarship. They took my deck for the night and i went to my room. I was stayin with Krayzie. Me and Omar (Iammexican) decided to stay up and make his clefable deck with all japanese cards and stuff. It was fun we had a FR/Lg deck before the set even came out.

Top 16 One of the Lynchs Sorry forgot her name( Gardy/GEx)
1st match
She gets set up fast and i mean fast. I get out my stuff pretty quick to, at some points stalling with arcanine trying to keep my energy low.I atm rocked a couple of times, wich was good. I won this game but forgot the details.

2nd match
I got set up perfectly, wish i could say the same for her. She did have a great comeback. Her problem was that she didnt play any counter gyms so Desert ruins destroyed her. She was cool though. She admitted after the game that that was her weakness.

Top 8 Some japanese kid (Gardy/Gorebys/Bellosom)
Match 1
I was expecting Magma deck But i was surprised. I started alright but he was a great player and had a good deck with a good start. At one point i atm rocked and got rid of 3 Double rainbows . But he overpower me and dropped a Gex for the win.

Match 2
I start with spheal and have a Walreign turn 3. and i would of been able to rip through his stuff but I got a game loss because I forgot to discard my stevens.Yes you heard me I got a game loss because I forgot to discard my stevensI had been warned about my supporters and such but i dont think a game loss was justified. Pluss It wasnt the player That called it on me It was a judge (I dont want to say any names so dont ask), Last time i checked A judge could not intefere with a match unless it was blatent cheating. Pluss not discarding a supporter doesnt deserve a game loss IMO.
It wasnt even like i discarded it during my turn, I just forgot to discard it.


Owell top 8 I guess would do ;)
they ended up giving me good sports manship award because " He took it well" I guess a couple of boxes a year will make up for it ;) . I honestly just want a ruling on the whole supporter thing so i know if someone ever forgets to discard i can call a judge, Rather then kindly asking him to discard it.
Props

I blew Pepsi out of my nose when I read this! (Not really, that's YOUR trick!)

You start a thread titled, oh yeah, "Top 8 Baby!!!" and then say "I don't want to brag."

PUH-LEEZE!!!

You'd better not leave any Supporters out at the Pre-Release tomorrow. I'll call the judge! (they'll probably step in on their own before I can say anything, being that it's a heinous crime and results in an irreverable game condition and all)
 
Giving you a game loss IMO is waaaaaay over the top. That's seriously, seriously stupid.

But w/e, you're a great sport about it! CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THAT FAR!!!!!
:clap::clap::clap::clap:
