Hey Scott,
 
This tournament was held on Wednesday, September 1, 1999 at Zany Brainy in Northridge, Ca.  There were about 20-30 people there.  There were four rounds.  It was single elimination.
 
Round 1: Brian
I played an electric deck, which was my weakness, but he didn't really know how to play.  I started with a Kangaskhan and he started with Zapdos.  He thought Zapdos was the best.  i put a squirtle on my bench and had a Blastoise in my hand.  I let kangs sit up there for a while until I got a breeder.  by that time his Zapdos was pumped, but I had a whole bunch of energies and 2 energy removals in my hand.  He used Thunderjolt to kill kangs but lost his energies.  I take blastoise out and for some reason he keeps on putting energies on zapdos.  I raindance, kill him and some pikachus in the next 4 turns and it was over.
Record 1-0
 
Round 2: John
He played a water-psychic deck. He only gets a staryu out while i get kangaskhan,squirtle and jiggles.  squirtle kills staryu in 2 turns thanks to plus power. No pokemon left i win.
