Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Stafford,Va. Hidden Legends Prerelease June 5 [OMG! CHANGES AND UPDATES!]

Well Sensei, Robin and us couldn't make it since Robin's husband just got back from Korea and her brother-in-law had a wedding today unexpectedly. We were greatly disappointed :(, and I need more good cards for my next card giveaway contest! But it's all good, looking forward to the next PreRelease. In addition, we might run an Unlimited tournament down here in Hampton :)

Wheres da pics yo?

Well, we all had a blast! 39 people isn`t too bad, but alot of MIA`s...where was TruegamerX`s crew? Also, Sean, Brian and kids, and several others couldn`t make it. But we all had a blast and the whole event was a success. Thanx to the outstanding Judging crew of David and Dave and also thanks to Wendy for all of her help! I`ll put up a full attendance/winner report within the next day or so. Oh, and congrats to all the winners and congrats to all the players. You all did great and were ALL great sports!

I agree Mike--The sportsmanship that everyone showed was evident throughout the day. Win or lose, everyone was having an absolute blast. Sorry I had to cut out a little early, hope you understand.

yeah, I had a good time....I actually won a game and I won 2 in the booster draft that followed! hopefully this is the start of growing improvement.

...Now for the reign of metagross and the fall of the great blaziken...
 
yes, the sportsmanship was excellent (I had one opponent who let me take back an energy that I attached to the wrong pokemon even though it meant the KO of his active. I didn't attack for a turn after that but unfortunately he couldn't get the 1 fighting energy card he needed to make a comeback).
Sure, there was the time where we all were yelling at each other in the second event but let us never speak of that again :p.

fall of blaziken... yummy

yes, pictures....must have pics *monotone as if a zombie*
 
Hey, no problem Ryan(?).

I`ll be getting those pics up soon enough as well as the tourney report. Also, Brian FINALLY sent me the pics of the Md. Gym Challenge so I`ll be posting those as well...;)

I won Sapphire, yay! Oh, wait, I already have 2 Rubies and a Sapphire. Pfft. Oh well. Anyone want to trade HL cards for a Pokemon Sapphire Version?
 
OK...here`s all the info everyone has been waiting for. Congrats to all the winners and congrats to all the players. You all did great and were awesome players and great sports! Congrats also to Dave and David, the judges and to Wendy as well. You three were superb! We all had a blast, judges and players alike and the new cards and foils are just sweet! To all who couldn`t make it...you missed an enormously fun day of playing Pokemon and hopefully you`ll be at my next event!

On to the results!!!

Well, this was my best tournament record to date (8th overall, 4th in the 15+ age division). It was also a BIG improvement over my 25th place ranking in the TM vs. TA prerelease! :thumb: I had lots of fun, (as always) and I can't wait for the next prerelease!
