Final Score: 17 W - 3 L. I have taken the feedback into consideration and didn't play the last day of the competition as I was pretty satisfied with win ratio and having a ranking between 1690-1700 gap. It was my first official tournament, excluding Battle Spot and general battling seasons, and...

I perhaps would have gone with Dynamic Punch at that point due to the fact Machamps' speed differ and there is no specific set assigned to them, unlike Alakazam or Gengar, which are much easier to guess if you are going to end up with a speed tie. I.E, Timid Alakazam's both sharing 189 in speed...
