To my mind, I won because I correctly predicted that Ix would use the same starter as last time, and used the 'free move' to set up my Minior. And then got lucky enough that Minior did just enough damage to Azumarill.
Which means that I'm now rooting for Scapegrace and Khryssty to have a niiiiice long battle and helpfully show me everything in their arsenals. But I have my doubts that they'll be so accomodating. ^_^
Good game, Iximaz.

You can find it in the rules document that's linked in the parent post. We've got a small tournament this year, so hopefully it'll go by quickly.
Remember, you have a week to respond to your opponent's challenge. If you do not respond/make an attempt to set up a battle, you will be considered a forfeit and subsequently removed from the lineup.
doctorlit, I'm available pretty much whenever (unless I recover from being sick soon, and in that case, I'm free on Sunday).
Good luck and have fun!-
