Why: Complete 1st edition set of Neo 1
How (many): 110 players

Once again this was a single elimination tournament.  The rules were simple. You play a game. At the end the winner stands in an area waiting for the next winner to appear. The loser would leave the area at once. This allowed for the games to be non time limit, which a lot of players liked. This would go on until there was only one winner remaining. Here we go. I went with my Classic and Original "Me Too" Deck. Notice it's hardly ever changed because there is not any one deck that can counter it. Here's my deck.

"Me Too"
3 Clefable
4 Clefairy
4 Hitmonchan
4 Ditto

3 oak
2 Elm
2 bill
3 gust of wind
2 switch
2 scoop up
2 cpu search
2 item finder
3 NGR
2 Super energy removal
3 plus power
2 eco gym

3 recycle energy
3 Full heal
4 Double Colorless
7 fighting

The strategy, if you didn’t already figure it out, is to start with hitmonchan and do minimum damage until my opponent can power up his team. Once he does I bring in my Clefables and Dittos and copy his strong attacks so I end up using their own attacks against them. Eco Gym was added to my deck because of the new gym being played "Sprouts tower" which would render my deck useless so I countered by removing them with my eco gym.

Round 1 vs. Steel deck
Weird deck. He used onix to begin with, which left my ditto doing 10 a turn. This continued for a while until I got my chan and clafables powered up. He then kept stalling with his Cleffa but pretty soon he went for his steelix. From there on I took out his steelix and cleffas for the win.
Winner 1-0

Round 2 vs. Rain dance
This kid went old school like me. He used a classic raindance with some Poliwraths. He started out great getting Blastoise out by turn 2 then came articuno in to stop my chan. I decided to press my luck and SER his articuno and brought in my clefables to copy his high powered team. His Articunos went down with ease and blastoise was running out of energy to raindance so he decked out to give me the win.
Winner 2-0

Round 3 vs. Haymaker deck
I'm not sure but I think it was a haymaker. He brought out hitmonchan and took out my active clefairy early. Good thing I had ditto waiting on the bench. I bring him up and by turn four thanks to a plus power the game is over.
Winner 3-0

Round 4 vs. Wiggly/Venusaur Deck
This deck was weird.  It took him a while but mid way through the game he got out his venusaur and began to use wiggly as his active. He got me pretty good but my hitmo's were ready and took his wigglys out. Then my clefable gusted his venusaur and scythers for the win
Winner 4-0

Round 5 vs. Wiggly Deck
Im surprise to see wiggly still being played so much. Anyways He begins with sneasel and I quickly take that out. He brings in wiggly and waves my ditto. My chan comes in and takes out his wiggly. I start GOW his jigglys one by one so that chan can have some easy KO's. Game goes long because he begins to bring in scyther after scyther to stall but pretty soon I go for the easy final KO.
Winner 5-0

Round 6 vs. Chan/Golbat Deck
We began chan versus chan. He got the first jab in. Next turn again nothing for our benches. We both begin to worry. More so me because if he has a plus power I'm done on the next turn. I draw a cpu search and instead of making the game interesting I go for the plus power and hope he doesn't have an energy. He doesn’t power up chan and jabs. I then jab back with my plus power for the not so glorious win.
winner 6-0

Round 7 vs. Gengar Deck
Wow only 4 players left and this guy made it all the way with a gengar deck? He must be good I thought. He stalls for a while with his gastlys and haunters until he powers up his mewtwos. They shredded my chans and dittos. I was in big trouble until I got clefable out. He was invincible against his ghost so he brings in lickintung(sp?) to try and confuse me. In an act of desperation I decide to bench my chan in hopes of taking out licky before mewtwo can take him out. So I sacrifice my chan and take out licky only to be taken out by mewtwo. I then begin to take out his ghosts one by one for the win.
Winner 7-0

Finals vs. ? Deck
I can’t tell what kind of deck it was but this match was over pretty fast so I'll go by the steps of what happened. I start with chan and she starts with Erikas dratini and a benched erikas jiggly. I GOW jiggly and take him out thanks to plus power. She brings dratini back in and I bench my clefairy. She does nothing again and I oak twice then elm. I evolve clefairy and bring up clefable. I add my plus power and flip for tail strike. I flip heads for the win.
Winner 8-0

You could say that I could have gone easier on everyone to make the game more fun but at the time I was more interested in winning. I got my neo set and a trophy. This ruled. So once again my "Me Too" deck didn't fail me.

Props:To all the user of strong decks because without you "Me Too" deck would suck.
To Pojo for posting my reports and making me famous. Now a lot of people know whom I am when I go to Tournaments.
For the mall for giving away 2nd, 3rd and 4th place prizes after they said they wouldn't.

Slops:To wiggly for still being famous.
To Wizards for canceling the 15 and over for the next STS.
To all the people who say my deck is old and I should make a new one. (October 25, 1999 - Present) WOW!  It is old!
