Babayaga, the only thing I would suggest for a relational database would be to have fields for the Pokemon, Set, Card Number, and Attack/Power. That way, you could do a search and (a) get all rulings for a specific Pokemon or (b) get rulings for a specific Attack or Power. (In my database, I basically treat trainers as if they're a Pokemon and the trainer effect as if it's an Attack.)
Khym, thanks! You did a great job running the tournament. We'll put the pictures out on my wife's website (we'll send you the link) and you can download them from there and publish them as you wish. (Tell your wife we loved her brownies and cookies!)
