How Many Times did you donk at your Battle Roads?

I played Sablelock and donked twice 
.....(still won overall but would have been better if the games were a bit longer)
Although saying that the two people who played Sabledonk came last and second last, and their only win was in the mirror match

I played against sabeldonk....the first time I didn't donk but was left scrambling the rest of the game and he kept putting pressure on me. couldn't slow it down enough to set up and got whipped. second guy tried it but was a turn too late...I destroyed him
At my BRs on Saturday, in Masters there were about 24 players. There was only 1 donk deck; it wasn't Sabledonk, but it could donk with Sableye. It only did so twice the whole day (out of 5 rounds), both of which were T1+luck-based. At the end of the day he went 3-2.
All the other decks were just business as usual. Quite a lot of Trainer-lock, though. However, the highest-ranking Trainer Lock placed 4th and lost almost right away in top cut (top-4).

I play Sablelock but I did donk once during my battle roads yesterday. (My opponent did not even get a turn but he was ok with it.) Here's how my match went, I have a lone Sableye to his lone Raticate G, in my hand I have a special dark, a SP radar and an expert belt. I attach the special dark and expert belt to my Sableye, play SP radar to get Crobat G, flash bite his Raticate G and used overconfident for the win.

dude that's really similar to how mine went on sunday. 24 players. there were two true sabledonk decks instead of 1 hybrid sabledonk deck. one guy had to back out of the tournament halfway through but was 2-1 and the other guy ended 3-2 and just shy of top cut. (top cut was all 4-1, top 4 placed. he was in 5th as highest 3-2)
the only one of those two I faced was the 3-2 guy, but he lost because I got two reshiram out at start and he couldn't take it down fast enough. by his 3rd turn he knocked out both of my reshiram (pretty freaking good for a true sabledonk deck) but I got another one out with an emboar w/ ability. he only had two cards left in his deck and had to forfeit.
that same guy played my friend in the next battle and donked her first turn. the guy that was 2-1 but left donked my other friend before he even had the chance to draw lol

You played Belt and Radar on turn 1? Are you guys playing with the new B&W rules already?
Also this topic is unbelievable. If you're going to play Sablelock, then you shouldn't be surprised you donk people. At the very least, you shouldn't feel bad about it: it was YOUR choice to pick a deck that can pull off cheap wins.

Sabledonk players are doing you guys a favor. Without them, you would have a worlds tourney with 90% playing donk or trainer lock.
^ agreed. I know a few people who played donk decks at battle roads just to prove to them pokemon guys that it should be rotated out before nationals. they did this at battle roads because it doesn't matter a whole lot and wanted the rotation to hit before nationals, which matters a whole lot.
I wish I thought of that to help them out but it was too late for me...couldn't get a sabledonk deck put together in time.
