Round 1 vs Jonathan Schweppe with Crobat
Ok this game was over in less than 5 min.  I didnt get
any card drawing and he trapped me, so I lost pretty
quick.=/
Record 0-1


Round 2 
I forget this game, but I know I won. =)
Record 1-1


Round 3 vs ?? with Feraligatr
During this game,  I got Gator out got a couple
prizes.  Later that game, he used Amnesia on my
riptide, so I benched Gator and sent him back out. 
Then he said benching doesnt end Amnesia and the judge
agreed with him.  Even though the ruling says "If the
Defending Pokémon is put on the Bench or evolved, this
effect ends ."  I didn't have the ruling with me, so I
didnt feel like arguing about it.   A couple turns
later he tried to Amnesia my benched gator, but the
judge told him he could'nt. With that wrong ruling it
just took me an extra turn to win. =/
Record 2-1


Round 4
Same as round 2 
Record 3-1


Round 5 vs  Ice'Cold with Feraligatr/Parasect
I got set up faster than him and started Riptiding.  
Later he got a gator and Parasct out I let him KO my
Gator so I could sketch him for the KO.  When he only
had 2 cards left in his deck , I double gusted
Parasect and he couldn't retreat so he decked.
Record 4-1


Round 6 vs  David Coleman with SI Vileplume 
This game could have gone either way if he got a
couple more heads.  We both made a bunch of little
mistakes but we caught them before its messed the game
up.  In the end, my gator KOed itself from confusion &
then he KOed a Magby, so I sketched him for the win. 
Record 5-1


They announced top 16 and my sister was 15th. Then
they announced top 8,  I was 4th. Yay!


Round 1 of top 8  vs ?? with promo Mewtwo/Murkrow
He didn't have much of a chance.  I double gusted his
pokemon before he could power them up and Riptide
them.
Record 6-1


Round 2 vs  Kyle Grubbs with Blaine's Ninetails
I won on my first turn.  All he had was a vulpix and I
fury swiped that for 3 heads!!!
Record 7-1


Jonathan asked if I wanted to draw, but I wanted to
play the game out.
Round 3 vs Jonathan Schweppe with Crobat
This was a fun game, I got to sputter 11 times.  I
KOed 2 neo D scythers and 40 to a Crobat with  2
Magbys. He ended up winning with 6 prizes to 3.
Record 7-2
