-------------------------------------
Match 1
Me vs. kid with some deck
** This kid was crazy! The first cards he drew were petit moth, coccoon of evolution and great moth.... he laid petit moth in attk. mode.. i destroyed it, then he discarded his great moth and coccoon (was not allowed but he insisted) I beat him both rounds with a score of 8000 to zero both duels. This was simple!

Match 2
Me vs. Kyle (pretty good deck)
** I felt bad for him because people stole his raigeki, dcj, and heavy storm... but the first match i wuz nervous cause he was pretty good... but once i started the duel, i gained confidence quickly... i defeated him and i had a lot of my life points in tact... he played cards like blast juggler, and wimpy cards like that.... His Magic cards were awesome.

Match 3
Me vs. Collins
** This kid was so egotistic it was annoying... He thought he knew everything but he was just too confident....  First match he wiped the floor with me, with a change of heart and his skullss..... i just couldn't keep up...
Next Duel , I defeated him with launching my La jinn from my Catapult turtle... that was a simple win... however the next match, would determine it... We were outta time, so the judge gave us five minutes and whoever had the most LPs, would be declared victorious. I was so scard.. My first draw was good... I drew Pot of greed, Change of heart, Wall of Illusions, and my Jinn and Skull. He played fish... i played Wall, he attked, he lost 50 lp... i used pog to get my Magic Jammer and my 7 tools...  I set them and got my skull and attked his fish... We only had about 2 minutes left and i was stalling...which made him mad..... But in the end, I won! Woohoo onto the semi finals!

Match 4
** I got a bye... It was my first bye and i was pretty calm....

Match 5
Me vs. Matt (awesome deck)
*THIS WAS THE FINAL MATCH TO DETERMINE IT! *
** My first draw i got MEB, 2 Jinns, and my Ultimate offering and WOTBF... i set witch he countered with trap hole... i got skull, he attacked me directly... i then got meb  faced down. from then on, he wiped me out.

**Second match was better, i got him down to about 4000 lps, but still lost...

So, i came in 2nd... i got nothing in those boosters... except a few star boys...
