These were on 18th of Nov...
We'll jump almost straight for the matches, as I don't remember much and don't feel like typing.
But before the logs, I'd like to tell you that two people who I know, were going to participate. The first one, Bob Utsugi (Bob_Utsugi here at AH I think), and the second one, Ho-oh (Registered as Polardragon here at AH).
I can honestly say, that I wanted Polar to lose. Out of the ~10 battles we have had, I've beaten him once or twice. And why? He always lucks out, like getting CHs just when he needs them... Anyway.
As I guessed, both Bob and Polar won their first matches. Too bad that Bob, who was there solely for beating Polar, lost his second, against some guy who had Amnesialax. That surprised me, no newbie has Amnesia on Snorlax.
So I went to talk to the guy. "Hey, you had Amnesia on Snorlax. Do you read some forums on the Internet? I mean, it's not very common for n00bs to have Amnesia on Lax..." And then he flashes his BPC-badge (BPC is a Finnish Pokémon-page too... Not very good players, but this guy is also from Pokéopisto). Scizori it says. So I recognize him, and there were 3 people in total, who I knew and participated.
At something like the 4th round, Scizori and Polar get paired up, which means that they will battle. You can guess what I feel like. I have NEVER fougt Scizori on PBS. To Polar, I have lost (Because of luck, man...
). And I want Polar to lose. So here's the log:Polar opens with Dugtrio.

Starmie Psychics scoring a CH. Dragonite says "wroooooooooot" (At least that's what it sounds in the movie... An elephant.) for the last time.
Sciz 0wned Tampere. 3-0.
Then I challenge him to a match, and beat him. It was no fun though (Or... Well, it was ridiculous...) as I had an incredible luck all the time.
Or what does it sound like: My paralyzed Exeggutor (With Psychic as it's only straightforward attack) beats his paralyzed Zapdos who has a Light Screen up?
Anyway, Tampere rocked. But check out the Jyväskylä report, it has something interesting in it.
Edit: Dammit, I tried to find all the :tä-parts, but that evaded my eye
