PE2K was at the Pokemon TCG City Championships at the St
Joseph School in Mountain View, California. The City Championships is one
of many that are going on across the US and in other countries during
November 2006 through January 2007. At this particular location I was at,
69 players participated in the event. 25 players were in the Masters
Division (Born in 1991 or earlier), 21 players in the Senior Division
(Born in 1992, 1993, 1994 or 1995), and 23 players in the Junior Division
(Born in 1996 or later).
Picture 1 and Picture 2: Here we are at the St Joseph
school in Mountain View, California. The event was held inside the Parish
Hall. Picture 3: The Parish Hall provided a nice wide open area for the
event. The large area and convenient parking near by makes this a great
location for the event.

Picture 1, Picture 2, and Picture 3: Here's some pictures
of some of the players playing on the Nintendo DS. Besides taking pictures all
the time, I was playing Pokemon Ranger in the spare time I had. I attracted a
small crowd of players that finished their matches already. After circling and
more circling in Pokemon Ranger, I needed a break after that too. So I let the
others there play on my DS with Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Trozei, and Mario Kart
DS.
Picture 1 and Picture 2: Now we're down to the top eight
players here in the Masters Division tables. Picture 3: This is the top
four players remaining in the Senior Division.

Picture 1: Dragonite ex. Picture 2: The first
winner was crowned in the Senior Division. If he looks familiar, it's because
he also won the City Championships in Santa Clara a few weeks ago that I
covered here on the website as well. Picture 3: Now we're down to the
final game in the Junior Division and Masters Division.
Picture 1, Picture 2, and Picture 3: Jason (in blue), won
his game to become to the winner of the Junior Division.
Picture 1 and Picture 2: It's getting late in event now
and the final game remaining is in the Masters Division. Picture 3: All
he's thinking about is getting his prizes, getting something to eat and go
home.
Picture 1: Time to clean up. Several players lend a
helping hand in putting away tables and chairs. Picture 2: With a game
best out of three, the game was tied 1-1. This final match will determine the
winner. In the end, the lucky pillow prevailed. Picture 3: The winner
of the Junior Division took a head start on eating, even taking it with him on
stage when getting his prizes.
Picture 1: Winner of the Junior Division. Picture 2:
