What do you do before tornament's / event's?

As for me it's a 35 min trip on transit to card masters.

so i listen to the two song that matter most to me.

into the night - me and my wife's wedding song.
probably a odd choice but it relaxes me.

The begining is the end is the begining (watchmen verson)
This is one of those songs i listen to while reading/ making decks..
kinda gives me an epic feeling
 
i eat breakfast, i dress up, i pack my stuff, then:
A. i walk to the train station to get lou, who is driving with me and my dad.
B. my dad and i drink coffee
C. i get the bus to utrecht centraal,
D. my dad drives me to utrecht centraal
E. i bike to utrecht centraal

then:
A.A. lou, my dad and i are sitting in the car
B.A. my dad and i are sitting in the car
C.A. i meet lou there, and we go sit in the train
C.B. i get another coffee, and i go sit in the train
D.A. i meet lou there, and we go sit in the train
D.B. i get another coffee, and i go sit in the train
E.A. i meet lou there, and we go sit in the train
E.B. i get another coffee, and i go sit in the train

A.A.A. lou, my dad and i drive to the tourney
B.A.A. my dad and i drive to the tourney
C.A.A. we ride to the tourney
C.B.A. i ride to the tourney
D.A.A. we ride to the tourney
D.B.A. i ride to the tourney
E.A.A. we ride to the tourney
E.B.A. i ride to the tourney

and then we are at the tourney.

exeptions:
if the tourney is at the joker, then i just bike there.

in the furure, dennis is going to come along sometimes.
 
It's best to get good sleep, and eat a lot for breakfast. DON'T THINK ABOUT POKEMON. A clear and calm mind will avoid mistakes. Cofee helps too.
 
i just dont sleep or eat.
only water.
no bathroom and an overconfident attitude.
just makes me play better.
eating makes me tired sleeping makes me nervous water keeps me hydrated
i pee out my luck at tournements and thinking ill do good and not misplaying makes me de good and not misplay.
idk im weird
 
Prophet, I can't say I was really a fan of any of your posts until you mentioned that Smashing Pumpkins song... I don't even like them as a band but that song has its place.

Other good pre-tournament songs: Lose Yourself- Eminem, The Divide- Calyx&Teebee, Butterflies and Hurricanes- MUSE
 
Wake up, get dressed. Normal League routine. And then I leave for the event.

dmaster out.
 
I stay on AIM till about 2 A.M go to sleep get up around 6-7 depending on when Secretsof2113 and Naki Feralkin come to get me I download some new songs on my I-Pod grab one of my many AMPs in my fridge then hop in the car and drive off to the tourney. Drink my AMP there while talking to my friends then the event starts and its any normal day in my Pokemon life...
 
I have a few pump-up songs for Pre-Tourney too:

1) Helicopter by Bloc Party
2) I Don't feel like Dancing by Scissor Sisters
3) Don't Stop Believing by Journey

All great songs to scream at the top of your lungs to get you in the zone...

As for what else I do;
1. Wake Up
2. Shower
3. Eat
4. Wait around for an hour to be picked up (normally playing Kirby Air Ride)
5. Get there

Simple yet sophisticated.
 
I just have a long sleep so im mentally rested. I get up and have my protein shake with a can of coke for hyperness and to get my protein a day. I then get into the car. My tourn is about 2 mins away so nothing to do.

The funny thing is every time I come back from a tourney I always feel ill, maybe it because I dont eat well there....
 
the night before i get my things ready [binder decks snacks etc] and sleep.

when I wake up areound 6-7 I shower and eat breakfast then we pick up my friend kyle [Jedi7] and off to portland >.>

Here's what I do.

Wake up.

Coffee... MUST HAVE COFFEE :p

Eat a good breakfast: I don't want to feel dizzy from lack of food and a lot of Coffee.

Remain very calm and collected on the ride up. Focus on the music being played in the car, look out the window, and pretty much just not thing about anything but remain very focused. Being able to focus is key in avoiding mistakes.

Get there sign up, and prepare for round 1.
 
What I do:

the night before, I usually look at my deck, and get some last minute advice. If my neighbors or my little brother(or both) are coming along, I usually help them as well, and try to get them trading with each other so they can all get some good decks. Then, I prepare all my cards, and make sure everyones cards are ready. I then go to bed. I wake up around 8, watch the episode of pokemon airing(to see the dub version to the japanese version), and eat breakfast. My brother, if he comes along, usually is up by then to, so then we go online to do our decklists. My neighbors come over at like 930 and i put in there deck lists and then we pack up all of our stuff and head out on our bikes. Once I get there, I ask people if they would like to trade, and have alot of time for trading as i did my decklist at home. Then, I play. In between rounds, I usually take out my cards from the binder and re-organize them. Then, after thats done, i stay for rankings, and if something is up i stay until its over. Otherwise, i just go home
 
The night before, I listen to many different kind of songs, make a poster of my deck I am using and put in the wall and put the tourney logo on there. :p Then party all night, fixing up my deck, and celebrating.

Next morning, I get up, go automatically to the tournament. Usually go there before the location opens to Skateboard and get things off my mind.
 
I listen to Through The Fire And Flames on my way to the site. Whenever I do anything competitve, I listen to that song and seem to do better than when I don't.
