Hi Pojo! I love your site! Well I played at a tourney 2 weeks
ago. It was as Toys R' Us(Pittsburgh,PA) on 11/20/99.
About 40 people came. Heres how it works, for every win
you get 20 points(30 in sudden death), and you get 10 for
every loss(20 in sudden death). Then you get 10 for a trade
(only once a day) and 10 for teaching a kid two play.(a
waste of time!)So every 500, points you get a badge(in
order, boulder, cascade,and so on)Well first here is my 
deck, I call it ZAPPING BENCH BUSTER !
 
Psychic Pokemon and Energies:
4 x Drowzze
2 x Hypno
3 x Fossil Gastly
2 x Fossil Haunter
13 x Psychic Energies
 
Electric Pokemon and Energies:
3 x Voltorb
2 x Basic Electrode
3 x Jungle Pikachu
1 x Fossil Raichu
1 x Basic Raichu
2 x Fossil Zapdos
16xElectric Energies
 
Trainers:
2 x Revive
3 x Gust of Wind
2 x Plus Power
1 x Defender
 
The strategy to this deck is to destroy the bench so your opponent
is trying to heal them more than the active. Then kill the active quickly
so that you will be facing a damaged guy. But if your opponent
doesn't pay attention to the bench he will give up a lot of prizes cause
of a dyeing bench then you will just win cause of him or her with no
more basics! It's just that simple!
 
Match 1,2,and 3 were kids who were trying to put evolutions like
Machokes or Charmeleons on the bench! That was 3 quick wins!
 
Win(s) 3-0 450 points (I 390 from last week)
 
Match 4  vs. Water Blast
THANK GOD!!!!! He put a basic on the bench!!! Well, it was a Magikarp.But what the heck, it's a basic!!!! I drew jungle Pikachu
attached an energy to Magikarp and Tackled me.(ohh no! 10 damage!) I attach another energy, Spark. Game.
Win 4-0 470 points 
 
I make a Blastoise for a Poliwrath and Gyarados trade 480 points
 
Match 5 Me vs. Damage Swap
I drew Gastly he drew Abra energy Lick,Plus Power,Game!
Win 5-0 500 points I get a Boulder Badge!
 
 
I had to go after that. I think I did pretty good considering I only had a half hour.
