It caters to people who build POOR decks. They usually try to get away with too FEW basic pokemon (anything under 14 is BAD... you will end up in situations with only 1 pokemon in play...) This is exactly why all tournaments should be swiss. A single loss will NOT make you lose the tournament... you could still possibly win it all. However, if this happens more than once to you in a tournament there is probably something wrong with your deck and you need to fix it. Brian Brokaw
