Photobucket would like to sell you a framed print from the low, low price of $46.99. XD
And one final picture, for posterity if nothing else:
The Sunflower Cups, as they will appear once the most recent name has darkened a little (so that next year's stands out).
A hearty congratulations to all participants in the tournament!

GG, indeed.
Wow, that tournament was quite a ride. Hearty thanks go out to everyone who participated (either by competing or just observing and comenting; you all made this a blast!), hS for making our lovely shinies for us and Ix for putting this whole thing together in the first place.
I'm so looking forward to next year.Next time, I will have my silver cup.
On a side note: I mentioned near the beginning of this thing that I'd like to have the tournament written up in a somewhat similar vein to the All-HQ Australian Indoor-Rules Quiddich League. Is that something anyone else would be interested in seeing? -

Do you play in tournaments a lot? Cause you've been basically unstoppable this whole time, even when you weren't wiping the floor with your opponent.
Seriously, though, congratulations! *tosses confetti* -

I have never actually been in a Pokemon tournament before. However, I did build my team for just that and I'm so glad it did so well. I lost quite a few battles outside of the tournament. The battles I won were thankfully the ones that counted.

I threw in the last match. I threw hard. This is because A) I wanted Best Trophy, and B) I... really didn't feel comfortable winning this tourney. I'm the only one who played competitive on anything close to a regular basis, so it felt like I was cheating a bit.

And well done to both participants for their performances all throughout this tournament. It was a blast to watch!
and considering that I defeated foo's team in an unofficial, unrecorded match that means that I am the actual champion here -

Seriously, I am extremely dubious of my chances here. Foofooman's good and has good 'mons. I'm good and don't have 'mons that are anywhere near as good. I got lucky to 2HKO his lead, and I don't think I'm going to get that luck again. =]

D'you know why I keep predicting my own defeat? by
on 2015-04-21 17:16:00 UTC

Because overconfidence is what gets you killed. I've been battling a hell of a lot with various people, and each time I expect to lose. Why? Because if I expect to lose, I turn my brain (what little of it there is) to thinking about situations in which I don't lose. I start really thinking about counters, about damage effectiveness, about what I can and cannot sacrifice, who I can and cannot let take some damage so that they can set up. It's all about tradeoffs and resource management, and if I think I'm coming crashing down, I might learn how to fly. =]

From the Art of War:
"In ancient times, those who are skilled in warfare gained victory where victory was easily gained. Therefore, the victories from those skilled in warfare are not considered of great wisdom or courage, because their victories have no complications.
No miscalculations mean the victories are certain, achieving victory over those who have already lost.
Therefore, those skilled in warfare establish positions that make them invincible and do not miss opportunities to attack the enemy.
Therefore, a victorious army first obtains conditions for victory, then seeks to do battle. A defeated army first seeks to do battle, then obtains conditions for victory." -
