Ontario Cities Marathon!!! :D :D :D

I played B/L/G.
Heres my report.

I got second at my cities!!! 4 More to go!!

Report:
I get there early and have to wait in my dads car for a bit. I go inside later and start filling my list. But then I remember im still not sure what deck to pick. I practise with one of my friends from league and decide that B/L/G was the play. I lend Cameron some cards and notice that Jacob didnt come. I check the pairings and im up against one of the top 8 nationals players.
BTW Cameron is using Gyarados and Jorge with Vilegar. Robert T with Machamp.

Round 1 V.S Andrew E with Gyarados
I start with some energys,Garchomp c Cyrus and some other stuff. We roll and I start first. He flips and starts with Magikarp!!I attach a DCE and donk him!

1-0

Cameron 0-1
Jorge 1-0
Robert T 0-1
Jorge ended up facing Cameron and dominated.

I Was pretty bored since it was around 45 minutes till the next round.

Pairings are up and im up against Chris V.

Round 2 V.S Chris V with Gyarados.
We both get greats starts getting set up. I find my Lucario GL prized but luckily top deck the Azelf to get it. I then am able to Thrash bolt to knock him out. He gets gyarados back and gets a revenge kill but I have another Luxray GL ready to get him back. After this he cant get set up so i took the rest of my prizes.
2-0

Cam T 0-2
Jorge 1-0
Robert T 0-2

Cam decides to drop now and ends up leaving with his dad. (Robert)

I see theres only two 2-0s in the senior division. I assume i will be playing him. I faced him last year at the battle roads last year and i got owned by him.

Round 3 V.S Boyce With Gyarados
OMG another gyarados -_- He rolls and he goes first.My basic is uxie -_- He starts......MAGIKARP!!! He sea sprays and gets 5 heads. I draw top deck the collector and am able to get a crobat g to flash bite attach and donk.
3-0

YAAA 3-0 AT MY FIRST CITIES!!!

Im positive i can make the top 2 cut if i keep this up,and maybe win.

Round 4 V.S Matthew With Vilegar.
I practised this matchup alot and I lost most of them. I start with Blaziken FB and try to get set up but he gets a VIleplume out. I keep drawing into trainers and supporters and hits for 310 damage at one point. I finally knock out his Vileplume with Garchomp C X and play my trainers the following turn. HE knocks out my Garchomp C X with gengar and bring up Blaziken FB X. I jet shoot and he flips heads with no pokemon left both of us drawing our last prize. Heres where i got mad. The judge made a bad call and said we had to go into sudden death.

I start with uxie and a crobat and him with spiritomb. I try to pull off the donk and fail and he gets a haunter out. I double poketurn my Crobat G attach a dce to Uxie level up and win my last swiss round!!
4-0

WOOT TOP CUT AT MY FIRST CITIES!!!

There are three 3-1s and only a top two cut. Im up against Christ V again and im hoping I play good again.

Round 1 of best of 3
I draw into NOTHING good and end up scooping around turn 7.

Round 2 of best of 3
I set up two Luxray GLS and one garchomp C but he keeps getting another Gyarados after I trash bolt his last gyarados. We end up going 1-1 and i Luring flame one of his uxies. He top decks the warp point brings up a gyarados and knocks out my Lucario GL for game. :(

Did you have a benched Pokemon still? Anyway, great job.
 
Gratz on the second Javier. The next stop on the Cities tour is tomorrow's Grimsby event, followed by Brampton on Wednesday.

Good luck to those who attend!!
 
Since you still had a benched Pokemon and your opponent did not, you should have been declared the winner since you win in two ways. I just wanted to confirm that. Make sure that you tell the judge that so they don't make the same mistake next time.
 
I was actually talking to my friends about how he made the wrong call. Alot of masters even agreed with me about it. I still had a great time though and I ended up winning the sudden death match. Thanks for clarifying it though.
 
No, the call was made correctly. Both players drew all 6 prizes simultanious therefor go into sudden death. There is no secondary condition...it doesn't become "who won the game the most?". It doesn't matter whether either you or your opponent had another pokemon on the bench, both players drew their last prize simultaniously therefor ending the game before preforming the pokemon in play check, and moving on to a sudden death.
 
Sorry but that is where you are wrong. If one player wins in two ways and the other wins in just one way, the player that won in two ways is declared the winner. I'm quite sure it is in the rulebook, but if it isn't I assure you that I am correct.
 
Gengar SFs fainting spell reads that it triggers inbetween turns. Gengar was knocked out during my turn making me draw the prize card first aswell.
 
Hey Javier how'd u do today? I 4-1 5th cuz the computer hates me =[ My loss was a donk so im mad, i could have 5-0 if i didnt get donked =/
 
Im actually about to go to my cities in a couple of minutes. Hopefully I can pull off the win. But on Monday I went X-0 in swiss and lost in top two.
