Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

2009 NORTHWEST Regional Championship - Salem OR

Jason probably stepped over the line making those comments the way he did, but that doesnt make them incorrect. DJ was a good guy, but there was no denying that he made quite a few bad plays and mistakes, and played very slowly, making him a frustrating opponent. I encountered the same exact problems in my match with him as well, even though I still won.

OK folks, let's not diminish a great event by falling into a bunch of negative comments about this and that to justify why you weren't able to back up the boasts you made prior to the event. The game takes place during the rounds of play. Nothing will be proved by telling us why you didn't win because someone did whatever. It won't change the outcome or the points. All it does is change people's opinion of YOU, and not for the better I might add.

*sigh* You are all right, I am being a poor sport. Sorry for what I said, I take it back. I'm not sure what got into me...
I got beat, and that's that. That comment was childish. I hope you can all exuse me for it. sorry again.

My son would like to believe it was the 14 Double Stuffed Mint Oreos that put them over the edge. :)

Look for my pictures in the Gallery. They're in reverse order because of the wonderful uploading method the Gym's site uses.

Enjoy!

That was the turning point for me. If it wasn't for the Oreos I wouldn't have done it. Although Chris carried them out to his car, and I never saw them again. Mr. Raichu, I want my share of the Oreos!!!

And you should have heard the collective gasp from my students when I walked into class this afternoon! But it was test day, and I didn't get a chance to explain.
 
I can bring some replacement cookies if you're going to league next saturday.

BTW, if any of you ever face your brother in top cut, make sure to break out into song at random times during the game. I should have picked something other than "Human Again," from Beauty and the Beast, but it was pretty darn funny either way, and Michael wouldn't stop randomly humming it.

A lot of new faces

I was comparing last years top cut in masters to this years, when I realized that 14 of the players that top cut this year did not top cut last year. I think that is fantastic,

So here is some trivia, who were the only two players that top cut Regionals in Masters in 2008 and 2009?

Do you realize that the worst part was that the only reason Quinn made the top cut was becuase his brother and annother 5-2 Washington player both dropped after going 5-2 in swiss. Both of thier tiebreakers scores were in the 50's Quinn had a 48.



And on annother note, remember when 5-2 at regionals ment you had a pretty good shot at top cutting, Not any more. Last yesr 9 5-2's top cut at Regionals this year only 5. Meaning that less then 25% of all 5-2 players top cut this year. Heck 3 years ago every Master who went 5-2 top cut and the 16th Spot went to Flaming Spinach who was the top ranked 4-3 player that day. Boy things have changed. Lots and LOTS of growth.
