DCI Sanctioned Tournament
Saturday, September 25, 1999 at 2:00 PM
Approx. Participants-13
It was approaching 2 O'clock...I decided to take my leave
from my Uncle's baseball tournament and head on over to Deja Vu Games, I
went with my sister this week, but my friend Alex couldn't make it because
he screwed his ankle or something :( So it was me and my sister this
week and things were looking pretty good since there was only 13
Participants, but the prizes wern't as good :(
Once again I used Haymaker Potpourri, (Scott Gerhardt's
deck) and I was gonna change it up a bit, but I arrived at Deja Vu
Games a bit to late for quick tweaking, so what I had would have to be good
enough. Here's the deck list if you still don't know its basic

The tournament this week went by fairly quick, it was all done by about 3:45
PM, which was about 1 hour and 45 Min. That's pretty fast when your
playing with a crowd of 7-8 KIDS :) Any longer and I would have had a headache
or something. Well anyway here's what happened...
Round 1-VS Mike ?. with Fighting/Grass
Just some kid I whacked pretty fast, he did try to use a Erika's Clefable
though, but I caught him and informed the Judge. It wouldn't of
mattered since I don't think he played with a Clefairy anyway. I had
to show him the basics of the game, and I won easily, Hitmonchan and Scyther
cleared everything way nice and easy.
Record: 1-0
3 Points
Round 2-VS Mike M. with Mono/Water *This Mike is not the same as the
Mike above*
He stalled with a Seel at the beginning while pumping his Gyarados up, but
it wouldn't matter I had a pumped Scyther waiting for him on the bench.
Hitmonchan got rid of the Seel and then I let Hitmonchan die and promoted
Scyther. Slashed Gyarados in two and let him send out a bunch of other
weak basics, a Meowth that I sent Hitmonchan after then another Seel that
Electabuzz fried. Just matched up the weakness for the rest of the
game, and won another easy match.
Record: 2-0
6 Points
Round 3-Jon Y. with Colorless
His deck was sort of a stall deck, full of big beefy colorless Pokemon, he
played with like 4 Potions, 4 Super Potion and 4 Pokemon Center.
Therefore it took a while until I was able to kill some of his Pokemon,
Hitmonchan dominated his deck, accept for a Fearow that I used Electabuzz
to fry, but all and all Hitmonchan killed all. Another easy match, but
I paid for these easy matches, another guy is undefeated right now just like
me, but he is in first since he faced off against harder opponents, while I
faced off a bunch of newbies. Hope I face a opponent with a better
Match Record.
Record: 3-0
9 Points
Round 4-VS Dim ?. with Fighting/Water
First off this guy does not have a good match record, so I won't get a good
enough tie breaker to pull ahead into first place, damn :( Well I beat
him down with my good old Scyther, he couldn't get any energy at all I saw
maybe 2 Blue energy and 1 D.C.E., but they were all removed.
He's MEGA energy screwed, its over for him, I even got a little
confidant and sent my Ponyta out to take down several Water Pokemon,
but can't have to much fun, back to work I send out my Scyther again
and play like I should play :) I win easily, I forgot to ask
him how many energies he had in his deck, it was either he played with like
5 energies or it was really bad luck for him.
Record: 4-0
12 Points
Round 5-VS Cory S. with Haymaker
This is the guy who is in first right now, so If I win against him I get
1st, if I don't he gets 1st, he proved easier then I expected, he constantly
retreated and switched his Pokemon, resulting in my Mr. Mime going on a
killing spree on a bunch Scyther's with 30 Damage. I played this match
with confidence and didn't have to Oak twice, once was all I needed.
He jumped around for the entire game, but as I said before Mr. Mime caught
up with him and kicked some serious @$$!! He knew he was doomed, my
energy removals were what made him retreat and switch like that, allowing
Mr. Mime to be a winner of this match.
Record:5-0
15 Points
That was the final round, and since I won it, I got 1st! Yeah! What a
surpass :) I got One 1st Edition Jungle Boosters and Two
Base Set Booster, the rares I got were, Nidoqueen, Ninetails and a Comp.
Search. My sister finished 3rd and got One 1st Edition Jungle Booster,
she got a Holo. Clefable.
NEWS!
I got a rating for Pokemon, at last! My rating is 1705, I know
its not that good, but I'm working on it, Wizards is extremely slow on
updating this stuff :( Also my rankings are as follows...164 Global,
164 North America, 9 Canada, 5 Ontario, so I'm pretty proud of my
accomplishments :)
Enough about that now its time for this weeks PROPS and SLOPS!
PROPS to Alex K. for not dying and only twisting his ankle :) Get better
soon :)
PROPS to Aunt and Uncle for letting me take an early leave from the Baseball
Tournament so I can catch the Pokemon Tournament.
PROPS to My sister for finishing in 3rd and not 1st :)
SLOPS to My first 4 opponents for being newbies.
That's it for this week, next week Fossil may be released, but doubtful
since I live in Canada :(
