Hello Everyone!

I finally got the results, from the last two Saturday's, entered on the Nintendo website! I just finished! I was still having problems from home but the school computer had no set backs!

I don't have time just yet to post the standings, decks etc.. from last Saturday yet. I might be able to it tomorrow!

I haven't forgotten about doing a Rochester Draft. But the place I buy my booster boxes is still out of Dragons. Stayed tuned!

Once again, I thank everyone for coming to play! Eric’s Muk EX deck was the talk of the day. I really like your deck and so did a lot of other people! Congratulations to Shane for winning! Your combos with the deck are very effective even against Blazekin

Quote of the day: "Do you want to play Fluffy?"
 
Hello Everyone!

We had 20 people playing at the Shack for the January 24, 2004 Pokemon Tournament! Once again a nice turnout! I thank everyone for coming to the Shack. Wow! We heard a lot of sirens yesterday. There was an ambulance and Fire Chief car at the hair cut place across the street, emergency vehicles just going by the Shack with their sirens blaring and then at 5:15, fire trucks rushing to the subdivision across the street for a house fire! You could see the huge billowing clouds of black smoke just rising from the house. It was only 3 or 4 house away from Auburn road! In fact when Matt T and I left at 7:00 we could still see the lights from the fire trucks flashing in the dark night sky!

O.K. I didn’t have a chance to write down decks yesterday so I will need help filling them in for everyone who played. If I put the wrong description or if you know what somebody had please post and I will edit the list!

Sean over Matt C…Sean K.O. my Wailord EX, that had no damage on it, in one hit by using his Gardevoir EX!

Top 2
Sean over Shane


Congratulations to Sean! His deck was the talk of the day. He kept top deck for most of the afternoon and all during the top 8. He had 4 Ralts, 4 Kirlia, 3 Gardevoir and 2 Gardevoir EX with NO Rare Candies! Eric made a change to his Muk EX deck but I believe he is going to change it back. The Amphys are really taking hold at the Shack as well. I think I need to tech something into my Blazekin deck to counter. I’m not sure what to tech into the Wailord.


Quote of the day: “Whoooo wants the Diet Coke with lime?”

Sean where did you find that Coke? It sounds good. Do you see it without the Diet?
 
News for the Shack!

We are playing this Saturday January 31, 2004 at the Shack! However, on February 7 we cannot use the building. It has already been booked for a previous engagement! Sean’s dad and I are looking into playing at Spencer Park for the 7th. But, its looking like we won’t be playing on February 7th.

Stay tuned for further details.



Michigan has the City Championships coming up on February 21 in Garden City. I have off from school Thursday February 19 and Friday February 20. If Sean’s dad can reserve the Shack on either the 19th or 20th would anybody like to come to practice and tweak their decks?

I am not going to run a tournament, a booster draft or any other kind of tournament that day. I would also like to discourage any Game Cubes for this day.

I will bring commons, uncommons, rares (that I can spare) and trainers to help players get their decks ready and play-test for Garden City. I would be willing to come on ONE of those days not both. I have to do grad-school work on the other day. The time wouldn’t matter to me, I would get there as soon as everyone wanted and stay until everyone left.

What do you think? What day would be better, Thursday the 19th or Friday the 20th?
 
A Friday night thing the day before the CC sounds extremely intresting. The friday would work much better for me tho seeing how our Mid Winter break is the week before:(. If it were the friday i would definitley try to attend tho.

tA
 
Yeah i been dead with the internet thing lately so im catching up on t5 decks, dates, and whatnot. But that sounds fun on that friday. Amphy is truly a great deck and it's running wild at the shack. Though mine is the best ;). so whos all goin to the garden city one?? o sorry aj tough luck... foisy told me about your final.
 
Hey shackers
Dave and I will be late (around 12:15-2:30). Could you pair me and Dave 1t round and give us a draw? I want to try my new deck.

Yes! We can do that for you!


It's looking more and more that we will not have a place to play on February 7. But, we will be back on February 14, Valentine's Day.
 
Hello Everyone!

I apologize for the lack of results being posted. I have just been so busy with school. The results were sent to Rich and he will record them with Nintendo!


Reminder, we are practicing tomorrow at the precinct building! We can't get in unitl 12:30 PM but I will stay until everyone is gone!"
 
We are sanctioned for this Saturday's tournament on the 28th!
I have a couple of very unproven decks to try for play testing! Actually, I've only written a deck list for both. I have to find time and the cards to put the decks together before Saturday.

We will not meet on March 6 or 13 due to most of the players heading to the Pre-Releases those weekends. March 6 La Grange, Indiana, March 13 Garden City, Michigan!

Annisarich, remind me on Saturday, but I have something in my bag that Mitchell left behind!
 
we will be late!

Hello
Dan & I will be late. Can someone tell matt and have him pair dan & I in the first round? We will draw.
 
Thanks for a great afternoon Sands and all the Shackers.

Ricky is thinking of retiring from Pokemon after today. (quit while your ahead)

I picked up a GardyEX to make a deck and all the varriants to play test against. That was worth the trip.

Ricky is geeked about the fixes you all offered. Thanks

Mitchell is in the hunt for a new swanperet. If anyone has an extra to selll or trade give us a shout. He needs another for his Latias/Arcanine/Swampert Deck.
 
Hello Everyone,

I just finished entering the results for last Saturday! I am hoping to post a report later tonight but don't hold your breathe! I thank everyone for a great day!


Remember NO TOURNAMENTS on Saturday March 6 and on Saturday March 13. Most of the group is going to La Grange next Saturday and the following week is Garden City!



Quote of the day: "Are you going to La Grange next Saturday?"
 
Boo, i was planning on attending a MF tournament saturday too:(.

Odds are i probably wont be able to make it to the Garden City Prerelease the 13th tho, lack of ride:(

See everybody at states and Good luck Saturday in Lagrange!!!

Congratulations to A.J. for winning yesterday! He went 9-0 for the day, 6-0 for swiss and 3-0 for top 8! BAR with Blazekin EX went head to head in the finals of the top 8.

I might have something to counter BAR next weekend. We will find out next Saturday. Oh! By the way, we are playing next Saturday at the Shack from 11-4 PM. I have to leave between 5 and 5:30 PM next Saturday. I have to be in Lake Orion by 7:00 PM.
 
Any interest in a Friday evening Modified Tournament?

I may be able to host one this week.
Good for play testing before the MI State Championships.
