They were yesterday.I wasn't there, though, so all my reporting is based on what one 10-year-old (Nicknamed Kakureon), who was there, told me.
Some 17-year-old had first paralyzed all of Kaku's pokés with Alakazam. Then Kaku's Blastoise had used Dig.
X's ALAKAZAM used PSYCHIC!
KAKU's BLASTOISE dug a hole!
X took out ALAKAZAM!
X sent out GYARADOS! (WTF?
)
KAKU's BLASTOISE used DIG!
...But it missed!
X's GYARADOS used THUNDERBOLT!
KAKU's BLASTOISE fainted!
Anyway, Kaku was the sixth. There were only 14 participants, though... 
I asked one of the organizers to mail me reports from there, but I haven't got it yet.
I'll have my first commentating on next Tuesday, when I'll be going to Raisio.
And oh, we just had the "All fired up!" (The episode where Ash reaches the Indigo League). Nicely timed

Me: "...I've also spoken with Ian Garvey via IRC..."
Tyranitar: "Wow! You mean you have spoken with The Master?"
