27 participants!!!

     Hi again! Finally my dci ranking has shot up! Also, Trademart had its
record for most people attending today. 27 participants! yea! Last
tournament (which i reported) was two weeks ago, and very little sneasel was
seen, but MUCH steelix was seen. Now, probably 10 sneasel decks showed, and
only 1 steelix! WOW! The biggest showing was sneaselmakers with
wigglytuff...

     I'm really surprised at how well it did. What was supposed to happen
was that my sister would come along, playing a mono-psychic she made, and i
would play regular wiggly/maker/sneasel. It didnt happen. She didnt want to
come all of the sudden, so i took over her deck and merged the two AT
trademart MINUTES before the tournament started! This is my favorite quote i
heard about 3 times today: "Go away! You're REALLY annoying! (they meant my
slowking, not me! :D)" Oh, btw, its a 4 round swiss with the top 8 going on
to a playoff.

Round 1: ??? (still dont know the name) we call him cheater! with
kanghaskhan/feraligatr/typhlosion (will he ever learn?)

This was too easy. He started with kanghaskhan, had a totodile and a
cyndaquil. His kangaskan gave me the time to load sneasel. Meanwhile, i was
attacking with electabuzz. He finally comet punched and got... ALL TAILS! oh
yeah! From there, i retreated beat up a few times and slugged away a
victory.

1-0

Round 2: Steve Age 8... with charizard/arcanine

This wasn't fun... he was actually going to beat me! He had me down on
prizes by 2 with 1 left to draw when the judge saw he was playing with entei
from neo 3. It was illegal, and the judge forced him to forfeit to me, and
then take out entei... This should've been a loss, but illegal cards are
illegal cards!

2-0

Round 3: Blake with haymaker

I dont like haymakers when i have bad hands... oh well. I started with a
lone cleffa! EEEEEEK! I oaked away a whole hand... but eventually got on
top. Again, sneasel led the way, but FINALLY i actually got a slowking out
and got him mad... This was the quote: "Go away! You're annoying!"

3-0

Round 4: ??? with old-fashioned hay with machop and farfetch'd and jungle
pika!

I eeeeeekd like 8 times, had 8 cards left, sent out sneasel with 4 darks,
and destroyed! i had 1 card left when i drew last prize!

4-0

    YES! I would get the #1 seed! I was EXTREMELY happy! and what else was
cool: I GOT TO PLAY BLAKE! YEA!

Round 1: vs 8 seed Blake with haymaker

    Alright. I was scared at first! He got 5 quick prizes! EEEEEEEK! But i
got 2 sneasels loaded, beat up and came back to 1-1 prizes! He double edged
for a sudden death. Then... I sent up electabuzz. He had electabuzz. I won
the flip, shocked with para. He goes, ends. I oak 2 times to get 3 pluses to
win. YEA! off to the semis!

Round 2: vs 5 seed Jeff with legendary birds deck

    Jeff is an old guy. Very old, must be 50. Im really annoyed of him
buying all these packs in front of us! its like 8 boxes per tourney! LOL.
Anyway, he got out moltres while i eeeeeeeked. I got 2 slowking into play
and again i heard the quote: "GO AWAY! youre ANNOYING!" I finally got a
sneasel and a wiggly pumped, and beat him. The finals!

In between round 2 and finals: I was watching the other game between bren
and (???). I was hoping bren wouldn't win, and i hoped correct! YEA!

Finals: vs (???) with REALLY GOOD HAY!

     It was close, tit for tat, and i lost 2 sneasels! With me down by 1
prize, and with 2 prizes to draw, i made a scary move. I oaked with 11 cards
left! I got the double colorless and a pluspower i wanted, attached to
wiggly and destroyed his hitmonchan. He had nothing left, and i beat his
last poke.

I ACTUALLY WON!

     I actually got 1st, and it was fun. I was 7-0 on the day. I got 25
dollars in store stock, and my dad chipped in to buy a neo 3 box! We got
shining gyarados and magikarp in the same box! YEA!

Props: To all the people i played, they were all good sports.
       To me, for getting lucky
       To the AWESOME neo 3 packs!
       To pojo, for being awesome enuf to post this!
