I entered this tourney 13-0.  My deck focuses on the Old School Style
Haymaker approach while using new Neo Genesis cards to stall.  This was a
two-loss elimination tourney, so even though I lost one, I still won.

=============================================================

Round 1: VS Melissa (Damage Swap)
I won easily without Scyther.  I built up 'Buzz and attacked.  I gusted out
both of her Chanseys and KO'd them.  Her Mewtwo got me.  Then I Zzzapped them
with Pichu, KO'ing her Mr. Mime and Alakazam, while Mewtwo couldn't hit me at
all because Melissa kept flipping tails on the baby rule.  I won.
1-0

Round 2: VS Michael (Rain Dance)
The win was in the bag, or so I thought.  After KO'ing Blastoise, Articuno,
Lapras, and Feraligatr, he hit me with a Quagsire.  I retreated and Scyther
took 'em out!  Last but not least, he had a back up in the form of Neo
Magmar.  With it's Colorless attack, he KO'd Scyther, leaving me, him,
Magmar, and Electabuzz.  I Thunder Punched it and got him good, but a Gold
Berry saved his life.  I lost.
1-1

Round 3: VS Alyssa (Eeveetron)
Her Flareon got me, but luckily I retreated and Electabuzz shocked her out of
her daydream.  I won.
2-1

Semifinals: VS Alex (Metronome Deck)
I was in a tough situation, 'cause all I had out was a Cleffa.  I used eek
and got out an Electabuzz, Shocking her to death.  The battle was over in
mere minutes.
3-1

Finals: VS Michael (Rain Dance)
I'm facing Michael again!!  I made a few modifications, switching the Cleffa
for Mantine and adding some water energy (duh!).  I was ready.  I got out a
'Buzz and attacked.  I retreated over and over to match up.  At last, I had
him down to his Magmar, and proudly I said goodbye, KO'ing it with Mantine.  
I won the tourney, bragging rights, and a box of Japanese Neo 3 packs, where
I got a Celebi, Ho-oh, 2 Enteis, and even a Shining Gyarados!!
4-1

My DCI streak ended, leaving me with a 17-1 record.  I still won, anyway, and
that's what counts!

Props and Slops:
Props to everybody.  Especially Michael, who beat me once and fought me again
in the finals.  Me and Michael shook hands and promised a rematch at the next
tournament.
