Hi, this was my first tourney and I did pretty good

Round 1 Me vs. Travis with potpurri
    I played this guy before the tourney started and I beat him every
time.
When I played him for real I got a charmander out and he had a
kangaskhan. I sarted to ember him when I had enough energy and he didn't
have enough energy to do comet punch so I got a prize. Then the rest of
that match I had put my wigglytuff out, fully pumped with five poke's on
my bench,
did 60 damage to all of his pokemon (most of them were nidoran females
or nidorinas) and collected my prizes to win! :-)

<editor's note:  There never have been, nor never will be any Nidoran family in potpourri.  This was NOT a potpourri deck.  I think I know a thing or two about it. =)  -Scott>
                                  1-0

Round 2 me vs. ??????? psycic
     This was a fast round, I started with a vulpix and he started with
a Mr.mime. At first I was going to evolve vulpix but mime has that
invisible wall so I confuse rayed the mime for a while but he had
a jillion potions, I guess he didn't have any super potions.I finally
got them off and mime dies, No benched pokemon so he's done!
                                            2-0
Round 3 Me vs. ??????
        This was also a short round. I mulliganed and I finally got a
charmander and he got a ditto out.
He won the coin toss so he sratched me and I scratched him back. Then I
evolved charmander into
charmeleon and then he embered me and I die and no basic pokemon for me
so I lose and am
out of the game. :-(

props to hobby shop
props to the people that I beat for being good sports
props to the kid that beat me and being nice.
nice tourney so no slops!

Well, I thought I did pretty good for the first time at a tourney and
I'm going to another one soon.
