Hey, I can't really help much with the turnament thing.  I would take those 
people, and have everyone go to the local comic or games store.  Ask, with 
this kind of turnout, if they could sponsor a big event, since more people 
will go to a big turney.  That's the best that I can think of.
   As for your deck, it's not that bad. I would make the Pikachu family 3-2, 
so you won't run out of electric energy.  That's right, electric energy.  
Zapdos takes 4, and Raichu takes at least 3.  You would soon run out of 
electric energy to use.  I would put in Gusts of Wind in their places, to 
help with speed.  Otherwise, I really like the deck.  It seems slower than 
the regular haymaker, but it adds a little more firepower.  Not bad at all.
