lol... I saw some of your deck. Nice techs. 
CO States 3/1/2008
- Thread starter SteveP
- Start date
Missed you Adrian at CO States. Best wishes to Anny. Good luck next week in NM. Michael and I are going to UT along with Jared and maybe the Branders. Hope we can sweep 3 states!
Michael figured GG would be everywhere, so he went with Speed Bannette. He never saw GG in Swiss and lost to Jery's Blissey w/tech and Jared's Shiftry/Honchcrow. However, all his opponents did well in the final round, so dispite losing, he actually moved up 2 positions to finish 5th.
In the quarter finals, he faced Roberto's GG and won fairly easily. In the semis, he faced Armando's dark deck which he matched up better compared to Jared's dark deck (whom Armando eliminated in the quarter finals). Despite losing the first game, Michael was able to win the second game. In the third game, he went up quickly and won using Ghost Head a number of times.
In the finals, he faced Ian's GG-tech deck. Ian's tech did very well for him the entire tournament. Despite Michael's advantage in the weakness matchup, Ian was able to win he second game due to a key mistake by Michale and the inability to recover from that mistake by top-decking the cards he needed - either a TSD or Nightly Maint. In the third game, Michael went ahead quickly by two prizes before time was called.
Final standings:
Masters -
1 - MichaelP - Speed Banette w/tech
2 - IanB - GG w/tech

4 - Armando - Dark stuff
5-8 - NickJ - Maggy

Seniors
1 - KevinA - GG w/tech
2 - PabloK - GG
3 - Christian - Maggy/Blaze
4 - Nick - Maggy/Nape

Props
- PTO Dwayne proved why he is the best PTO ever. Best staff support ever. Excellent management of non-judging incidents.
- Top notch judging staff RonP, PaulK, WayneC, StewartT.
- Pizza Hut for messing up the order and delivering a dozen extra pizzas at no extra cost.
- Armando (a top-notch YuGiOh player) and others for crossing over from the dark side.
- PUI for providing very-cool trophies and prize support.
- SD players who made the long trek down and did very well in the tournament.
Slops
- Nothing

Adrian, sorry for Anny and your loss, you were missed.
Thanks to Dwayne, the Staff, and the Players for a great day!! Ran the Juniors, with some great support from Stewart. I think he spent more time in the Juniors than I did. The Juniors were great to work with, as always. No problems there.
Looking forward to Regionals.
