Forgive me for being a noob to this board, but I thought I'd post a little tournament report.
Deck I played: Ninetails/Wobbuffet/Dunsparce/Wigglytuff EX
Match 1: vs. ??? Swampert EX/Suicune EX
First turn, Lanette's Net Search, Fire Energy, Vulpix evolves into Ninetails with a Suicune EX out. I draw a Magma Consipirator next turn. Three energy, wipe his bench clean. 1-0
Match 2: vs. Mr. Shaw (Blaze)
We both draw few energies, but I have my bench out. Ninetails in the front again, eventually it gets knocked out, Wigglytuff comes out and cleans house. 2-0
Match 3: vs. David OH (Blaze)
Energy Screwed in the worst way. I have my set-up, and draw only like 1 energy in 10 turns. He gets 3 Blazikens out, match over. 2-1
Match 4: vs. Javier (Aqua)
Energy screwed again. I have my whole bench set up, but only draw 2 energies in 20 turns and a Magma Conspirator. I put him to sleep and he wakes up. I lose. 2-2
Match 5: Vs. Joe PA's father (Gardevoir EX)
I get a Ninetails out fast, he pulls out a Gardevoir EX. He then plays a Boost Energy, and tries to Psystorm Ninetails (slop to the tourney organizers here for tiring out the players to do this). I win from there. 3-2
Match 6: vs. Eric (Jirachi/Metagross)
This time I get everything I need. Ninetails out first, three energies, knocks out like 3-4 Pokemon. Ninetails goes, then Wiggly comes out, knocks out another Pokemon. He plays steel energy, I retreat, bring out the other loaded Ninetails and knock out the rest. 4-2
Match 7: vs. Chris (Blaze)
I get a bad combo here: Energy screwed, 3 Blazikens, and he hits a Steven's Advice on the first turn after I load up. Wish I had a better hand. 4-3
Props:
Lawrence and Kenny, for sticking in the car for me for so long (10 hours on Thursday and Sundy).
All the Jersey and NY guys that came
AggronBlaster and Jordan, you guys are mad cool.
The few cheaters out there. Didn't have to cut decks most of the tournament.
Ben of MO, getting me all the Charizards I needed to buy to get my deck.
Slops:
Time between rounds. Why couldn't they get the rounds going?
The third round. If you set up, why can't you play the match? Going Round 3 wouldn't have hurt anyone!
The organization in general. It was ran as badly as the ECC this year when they didn't post the pools for playing games and I had to sit in the arcade for 6 hours. We hate waiting 1.5 hours every match!
Judging: Way too many tough, unrelenting rulings. Fortunately, I didn't get a receiving end of one, but I heard stories.
Meets:
AggronBlaster
Jordan (good to see you again after Ruby/Saph challenge)
The two kids playing Crobat decks (send me the DL's please if possible), you guys were mad cool.
Everyone out there that I don't know names, not many AH's out there.
C-ya guys around.
