So this Sunday, May 19, We are having our first Battle Road in a long time. I'm going to come up with the report plus the winner, more info coming up later.
 
Sorry for the delay but here's my report:

We had 78 players and it was intense because the ruling and game mechanics.
I was using garchomp with tech cards and finished 5/2. I fought against 4 big basic,2 tdk and plasma quick charge deck.

1 round
Me vs big basic

I setup rapidly with Emolga and 2 basics and he starts with Landorus, Mewtwo, and Trubish.
I start lower my hand using all my items and search for my stage 1 attach energy to Emolga and attack Call For Family. He goes and attaches energy, activated Juniper and he attacks. I evolve everybody and use N and Hypnotoxic Laser and fail the flip :-( and I pass. He goes and evolves the Trubish and attaches Float Stone and attacks my Emolga. I use Colress to draw 9 cards and I pull Tool Scrapper and catcher; that was the end for him. I retire my Emolga and Garchomp and start hitting him hard he couldn't do a comeback so I won.

2 round
me vs plasma quick charge

She starts by place 3 Pokemon and attaches Plasma Energy and passes. I go and place energy to Emolga do Call For Family and pass. She goes and plays Skyla to search for Frozen City and by mistake she place her hand in her deck and shuffled. We notice to late and we call the judge and he decided she got game lost; I felt bad for her.

3 round
me vs big basic

Same has the 1 round easy win

4 round
Me vs tdk

It was a intense match. He had a bad hand and I had a good start and I had to to top deck every single card because I didn't want to use N to fix his hand. In the end Garchomp was killing his energy and hammer was stopping him. I hit him hard twice. He retreated twice in order to save his Pokemon. I use juniper to pull a Catcher and win...

Break time

5 round
Me vs big basic

I start really good but no supporters and he had a good start; he beat me quickly.

6 round

Me vs big basic

I start really good too. We went back and forth, but in the end, I won thanks to Catcher.

7 round
Me vs tdk(friend)
He Ghetsis me and screwed my hand. He had a good start and he beat me fast.

It was awesome; I had a lot of fun.

Shuffling your hand into the deck makes the game state completely unable to be recovered. Even if you know what the cards were in the hand, the fact the deck was shuffled means every card in the deck is out of order. At minimum it'd be a Multi-Prize penalty in a Tier 1 event, however, most often it is a Game Loss that is issued.

7 round
Me vs tdk(friend)
He Ghetsis me and screwed my hand. He had a good start and he beat me fast.

Ghetsis can be a good card when used at the right time, however, for your own benefit, I do want to tell you that there are much better draw Supporters that you should be using instead. If you don't go first your opponent has the opportunity to clean out their hand of Items resulting in you not drawing cards and having wasted your 1 Supporter per turn. After you play a Ghetsis your opponent is also more likely not to hold onto Items so it becomes a useless card in your deck.
