I teched in Magmar before the tourney, cuz my instincts said i was going to be battlin grass, i was absolutely correct. It was swiss, best out of three. We only had enough time to do 2 rounds, since 2 battles lasted for about an hour. I had to have a handicap, great!

Match 1: H! VLTG3 vs Albert with Muk/Scyther/Yanma/Exgegotor (how ever u spell it)

Albert my friend that is also funny, but isnt that great. In round 1 he starts of with 4 Scyther. I have 3 Mareeps. I get tails and i got first and get a turn 2 gigavolt adn with a pluspower and tails, paralyzing it. then he passes and i  get dark amphy out and attract current allowing me to pump up  a flaaffy and a buzz. And i continue to gigavolt for about 3 prizes until i get tails on a big explosion. then i just tail slap him for a few turns and then he goes down and  then i use amphy 2 and gigavolt it to win the game on prizes.
1-0 (BO3-1-0)
Round 2
This was interesting i get both rogues 1 mareep a cleffa and a buzz with one lighting. he has 2 yanmas and 2 scythers. I get  dark amphy turn 2 and shockvolt  down a scyther. He then slashs with pluspower and swords dance to ko dark amphy. then i get an amphy loose and wreck havok, although we shockwaved enough to ko the rogues and a cleffa but i when on prizes.
2-0 (BO3-2-0) win round 1

With that im in first naturally. i end up playing jen, who is the only player that is near my level of playing, except for kenny who judged.
She is ok. 3rd best, but can put up a fight.

Match 2 : H! VLTG3 vs Jen with Wiggly/scyther/krow/pinsir/sneasel
Round one.
I thought this would be actually hard. but i didnt even need to retreat at all, i just used Amphy the whole game and won on prizes, kill 2 sneasels, 1 krows ,1 scyther 1  pinsir and a jiggly. Easy win.
3-0 (BO3-1-0)

ROund 2- i get dark amphy turn 2 along with magmar pumped and killing the 2 scythers along with sneasel with some pluspowers, Then i notice that shes about to cry. Not knowing that the tourney was dci, i dont attack for 5 turns, so she doesnt cry and she gets 2 wigglys plus 2 sneasels up. then she gets 4 unaswered prizes, due to beat up and tails on 4 focus bands, 1 from item finder. So by the time i get a rogue or anything up she koed it.
3-1 (BO3-1-1)

Round 3.
They decide to make it a 3 prize round since time was going fast. I got lucky a bit and got a dark amphy on turn 2 and a buzz fully pumped and thunder bolting and shocking at will. I get the first prize quick. THen i get tails on fb. And i send in the magmar, and slap at will. I also er her rainbows, and with her ecogym, stupidly puts them back on doing 20 damage and other damage for nothing. And then i tail shock with flaaffy and win it due to krow wiht 40 and pinsir with 50 on it while a  sneasel with 30 on it. I win.
4-1 (BO3-2-1) game set match.

i end up winning to the tourney, my prize... a reverse charizard, that i alrdy had 4 of. So i trade it with some kid that got 2nd which he got the regular legendary form, which i wanted, so i traded for that and a dark golbat, for a deck im thinking of building. and with that loss jen went to 4th, while a kid i build a deck for got 3rd, in his first games.

Hopefully this will boost my dci up a little.
