Tournament Layout
Game 1: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. Muk007 with DarkMuk/FossilMuk/Sneasel
I won the coin flip.

I didn't have a chance against his Dark Muk, or his Sneasels!

Win-Loss Ratio: 0 to 1

I was out of that part, I started over after lunch though!

SECOND Tournament Layout of the day
Game 1: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. ??? with ???
I won the coin flip.

I played a kid's deck, he was killed quite easily with my Murkrow lock.

Win-Loss Ratio: 1 to 0

Game 2: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. ??? with Dark Machamp (Fling)/lots of Fighting
I won the coin flip.

I just 0wned him with my scythers.. Actually murkrow won the game after I killed Dark Machamp. I mean looked a (Rocket) Mankey!

Win-Loss Ratio: 2 to 0

Game 3: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. Kid at Pokémon League with Feraligatr Deck
I won the coin flip.

I tell him i'll first turn k0. I attach a PlusPower to sneasel, then I oak.
I get a darkness energy, 2 pluspower, no removal gym, a computer search, and 2 other cards.
I attach the darkness energy to Sneasel, attach the 2 other pluspower to sneasel, and I computer search for fun, get another pluspower.
I use fury swipes. Flip, Heads. I won easily against his totodile (50 HP), doing 60 damage on the first turn with 1 heads. (Poor kid)

Win-Loss Ratio: 3 to 0

Game 4: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. Micheal Perucca with Rocket's Zapdos/Electabuzz
I won the coin flip.

I start with a cleffa, a base clefairy, a murkrow, and Sneasel.
I attach energy to clefairy, send out scyther. He uses plasma for 20, after attaching gold berry.
I retreat, send out clefairy, add DCE to clefairy, and use electroburn.
He sends out Electabuzz, 10 and no PARA. I evolve to clefable, and I gust of wind out his other rocket's Zapdos, k0.
He does 30 to me, and gold berry takes it off. I attach 3 pluspowers and attach a darkness energy, k0 I win. (Wow! Won against #12 in the World)

Win-Loss Ratio: 4 to 0

Game 5: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. ??? with Sneasel/Wiggly/Rocket's Snorlax
He won the coin flip.

I had a Cleffa active, and a sneasel benched. I eeeeeeek (with a recycle attached to cleffa) and get a clefairy/clefable.
He tries to stall with Rocket's Snorlax and power his Wiggly/Sneasel, though I was faster in powering my sneasel/murkrow.
I finally kill his Rocket's Snorlax with Murkrow, he does 20 damage to murkrow with jiggly, then I kill of his bench and stuff.
Quite sad, this kid thinks stealing coins/stampers/cards/decks and also calling people "stallers" for using murkrow is alright. Shame on him!

Win-Loss Ratio: 5 to 0

Game 6: Me with Cries in the Dark VS. ???? with Electabuzz/Gligar "Haymaker"
I won the coin flip.

I attach a Double Colorless Energy to Scyther. I have a computer search, 3 pluspowers, and 2 clefable left in my hand.
He had a Gligar benched, and an Electabuzz active. He attaches a lightning energy to electabuzz and uses thundershock for 10 damage and no paralyze.
I attach a darkness energy to scyther (from the cpu search), and I attach 3 (he was surprised!) pluspower for the k0.
He draws. Bills, gets nothing. He attaches DCE to gligar, and uses slash for nothing.
I use slash and win.

Win-Loss Ratio: 6 to 0
