First of all this is my first ever time playing with other people in real life (besides my little brother). But I finally found a league and I figured I'd post some of the results of my (terrible) games.
Deck: ReshiBoar... Without the Boar until I traded for two Emboars after the second game. I didn't really come very prepared since my deck is still a work in progress.
Round 1: Amanda with Mewtwo/Landorus
My first ever competitive game. We shake hands and the game is under way. She has a Landorus active, and I have a Reshiram. I try to set up for a while to no avail, and she gets all of her prizes before I could even form a strategy to take her down.
0-1
Round 2: Someone with Empoleon/Dusknoir (this deck is destroying in this area. This kid was actually the top Junior in California.) Again, no Emboars means no real energy acceleration unless I wanted to sacrifice a Victini EX to get a few Fire energy on my bench. He takes me down one after another with his Empoleon and my weakness to water.
0-2
Round 3: Connor with Blastoise/Keldeo/Black Kyurem
This one I actually thought I had a chance. It takes him several turns before he draws a Blastoise, so I take two prizes on a Black Kyurem EX. After he does get the Blastoise though... Well, things went downhill, obviously. He sets up several Keldeo which I can't OHKO with a Bangle'd Reshiram, and eventually he collects all of his prizes while I once again fail.
0-3
Pros: Everything! I learned so much and I met so many cool people (with decks that were blinged out to hell. I could never put 4 FA N's into my deck, I'd be too scared of them being damaged), and I had a cool trade and learned lots of stuff from one guy in particular.
Cons: Lost every game, but I don't care at all, it really helped me learn what I need to add in my deck.
Well, it wasn't much, but I figured I should document my first ever league challenge, so here it is. Nothing too interesting.
