Battle Roads Wheat Ridge

Today was the 3rd BR and I was judging again hoping to get more cards for our nationals deck. I got there late because Roberto got in an accident and I had to ask kevin to pick me up lol...He was playing Arcanine and Roberto was playing Luxrape. It was a fairly good day until the finals, Seniors wasn't bad as Abernathy couldn't draw into anything and Makayla had Champ T2 both games and won. Masters was Roberto v. Bret Alex v. Ryan, Roberto's match was pretty slow and tiresome lol but Bret ended up winning that and Ryan came back to beat Alex. Ryan/Bret's matches were long and boring for the most part and I was suprised no one fell asleep lol. Bret ended up winning in the SD game. Afterwards me and Roberto went and got a Croak promo and got some dinner at Chipotle and hung out for a while. The judge support was really good, in my half I pulled 2x Gallades, 1x Luxray, Flygon X, Fan Rotom, bunch of trainers and other stuff.

CO Springs Battle Roads

Today was the 1st Spring Battle Roads in Colorado Springs, and I went with Kevin and Roberto. We arrived fairly early before most people got there and had our deck lists filled out. Kevin played Amphytric, Roberto played Palkia G, and I played Flygon. It was a good turnout and there was 6 rounds of swiss then a top 4 cut. I started the day off against Paul and he was playing Flygon/Weavile and I was pretty confident in my Flygon. After a long match that went to time, I ended up winning as I K.O.'d his Flygon X. My second match I played against T-Tar and Scott had a misplay as he could have won the game on the 1st turn, he didn't and I got setup and ended up winning. 3rd game was against kevin, it was funny that we had to play each other and of course my deck had a god setup to his jank setup when I really didn't want it to lol, so I won that round 3-0 woo I'm feeling pretty good until the day went south. Next played against Dialga and he got some crobats to K.O. my trapinch then I couldn't draw into anything after he PS my claydol. 3-1. Next played against steve with Flygon/Hippowdon, man was he playing so slow.....I guess I was just too upset with the speed of the game that I wasn't really paying attention and I lost that too. 3-2. Last game played against alex w/ t-tar and I was sure that I was going to win w/ the setup I had except when I went to search for cards only to find out 2x Flygon, Flygon X, snover, and 2 warps were prized....I scooped 3-3 oh well, atleast it was only BR. I think Steve ended up winning the whole thing.

Basketball Round 2

The nuggets played their 1st game of round 2 against the Dallas Mavericks and all the commentators were talking about how the series will go to 7 games, some even saying Dallas will win. Well apparently the nuggets never saw any of that because the game was kinda close the whole game until the start of the 4th quarter when they just pulled away hitting shots and playing good defense. They ended up winning by 14. The heat played earlier too for their game 7 but lost to the hawks, it's too bad D-Wade doesn't have anyone on his team that's any good, atleast they made the playoffs and took it to 7 games, hopefully he'll get a good teammate(s) in the off season.
