Hey Pojo, on Saturday, January 15 I went to a tournament at Full Moon Cards
and Comics in Schaumburg, IL.  It was not DCI sanctioned or a League
tournament.  There were not a lot of people there, about 15 maybe but there
is usually not a lot of participants.  The first place prize was $15 and your
deck and picture in Scrye and second place was $8.  There were 6 rounds and
it was double-elimination.  I would have won if I stayed and played because I
didn't lose at all but he had already lost once, but my friend and I wanted
to go to Heroes so me and my opponent split the prizes $13 and $10 and he got
his picture in Scrye.  First my deck and then the report.

First round against ?? with a psychic and grass deck.
This game went by fast because at first I had no basics but when I drew again
I got a Scyther, Hitmonchan, energy, computer search and oak.  He had an abra
and an exeggcute.  He went first and had the exeggcute out and he put me to
sleep.  I woke up and jabbed him for twenty.  Again he put me to sleep and
again I woke up and I jabbed with a pluspower to k.o it.  Next he brought out
abra and paralyzed me.  I computer searched for a scoop up retreated Scyther
and oaked to get an item finder for the pluspower and the win. 

Second round Chris with a rainbow deck
I didn't even play this guy because he said that he felt sick and he didn't
want to play.  The only reason I know what he played is because I overheard
someone talking about beating him. 

Third round against Bilal with a Wigglytuff, Scyther, Hitmonchan, deck.
This game could have been over with so quick.  He had a lonely Scyther
against my Electabuzz and Scyther.  I thundershocked him but didn't paralyze
him.  He removaled and laid energy.  I thundershocked again and paralyzed
him.  This time he laid a double colorless and didn't removal.  All I need to
do was draw a pluspower or a way of getting a pluspower and flip heads and I
would win.  I drew oak.  I laid an energy and oaked.  I didn't get the
pluspower but he started to pick up his deck so he lost.  I would have beat
him anyway.

Fourth round against Adam C (I think)
First turn kill because he had a Clefairy and I had Hitmonchan.  I went first
and killed it and won.


Fifth round I got a bye and if Bilal won his match I would face him and if
not I would face Bob.

Sixth round Bilal won the match between him and Bob so I faced him.  I beat
him but it was a close match because I had oaked like 3 or 4 times and he was
trying to deck me.  I only needed one more prize so with all of his guys with
30 damage on them and me with the pluspower in my hand when he couldn't
retreat I killed his Hitmonchan and won.

Well, in the finals me and Bob split the prize and I left with a profit of
$10.50 because there is a $2.50 entry fee.  Not bad though for a place where
I usually lose the first 2 matches and I'm gone.  My name is Adam and any
