Aww don't sweat it, Poliwag. Your apology is certainly accepted, and I hope ours to you is as well. We really do believe in SotG and try to maintain that delicate balance between too loose and too strict - fall too much on either side and people will complain. =/ Please chum, stay with the game! You're a good player, a member o' Team TIY, and we don't want to let it get to you! There's no need to be hard on yourself, either. Yes, you could have done this, but we also could have done that to prevent it, and so on... it's no one's "fault," just a mishap. 
:thumb:! Now that's the spirit! :biggrin:
And Chris, awesome post - you actually see things from the Judges perspective. Sorry that the Judge crew was rather fanatic about keeping people away from matches, but one of the things that both Camille and I (as well as several other players) strongly disliked from a previous CC (as well as a few other events, I'm sure) is that the Staff there allowed players and people to sit right next to people in really important matches. We wanted to make sure that there would be a Judge at EVERY TOP CUT TABLE AT ALL TIMES, and the Judge would keep spectators away from the players so they wouldn't be distracted. I mean, it's tense enough fighting for a Medal like that, but having loads of prying eyes lurking above you, breathing down your neck... Eek! Hard to concentrate!
Haha, now if we can just keep you off the tables, Chris... :tongue:

Yeah, I have to work on those 2 bad habits. Also the SSBM tournament was awesome. It was so cool to just hear everyone's remarks when 2 human players went at it. I got donked but oh well i haven't played that game in about a year (besides at Pooka's house for about an hour and half) so I'm not too disappointed.
o man i am glad u guys kept people away and did a GREAT job mite i say.......:clap: :clap: ...........
i just hate it when people jus sit there and stare at the match then when u missplay they make a face u cant help to look at and think that if they were that position wit time running out and at the mercy of urr own deck that you and urr friends created and dominated wit..that they wuld make the best play ......................i culd have jus as easily stalled Mike out and then claimed the last prize n sudden death but i made the game fair and took like a 25sec turn and gave him a chance to take a prize be4 i did but he coulndt and time was called on his turn....then i showed him the UmbreonEX and he said good game.......................jus think?????....................best of 3 tied 1-1 time running out and people staring at u on urr turn lookin all n urr hand and at the match like they were jus gonna say everything u have n urr hand and make a game changing desicion u kno how hard that wuld be....so thanx judges......Camille,Devin and Celio for keepin people away from the match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

This was one of the best tournaments I've ever played in with insane competition, so getting third with a rogue deck, Jolturne, is quite an accomplishment. Congrats to everyone else that placed or won.

ROCKFORD FOR STATES!!! ROCKFORD FOR REGIONALS!!!
Seriously, one of the best tournaments that I've been to. Most definately the best since GL Regionals in Pokegon. Excellent advertisements, excellent staff, excellent event overall! Too bad I couldn't find my deck for this tournament, would've gone 4-2 at the worst with that thing...
BTW, can you PM or email me with those table numbers? I like those things, and wanna make sure that my cities has table numbers like those. Thx for the tourney, and thx for the help!
There were 3 TV stations there? I saw 2 and 1 reporter...

Channel WTVO 17 and Channel WREX 13 were both there for sure. I saw the piece from Ch 17 and it was great, haven't seen the one on Ch13 yet as I got home after the news was done at 10:30, but I'll contact them to see if I can get a tape of it. I'd only heard Ch 23 was there too, which would be odd if they weren't, as they did a great piece for our last Prerelease.
Here's a link to the article in the Rockford Register Star, although that online version is not as complete as the great full page color article on the front page of the State & Local section of the Sunday paper. (I'll get that one scanned.) Bullados, you'll see you in the front of the pic battling BigginZZZ in Round 1 with Ness next to you. Cute pic of Troy's daughter in her Pikachu hat on the front page too!
