Ok here is how it went.Everyone was gossiping about this guy named like 
Arza(I couldn't get the name right)that he was 22nd in North America or 
something like that but all i knew was that he was good and he definitely 
was.For the $7 entry fee you get a tournament pack.1st Place got 3 boosters 
and 2nd Place got 2 boosters.This was my first tournament so i was very 
nervous.I started to talk to some teenagers and they were like at the same 
rank as me in terms of cards.

My first match was against this little kid and he had a whole bunch of cards 
in his deck.
Name: Micael( dont know last name)
Age: Little under 12
I beat him 2-0
Here is how i started... I drew and i got like 2 La jinns, a Dark Elf,and 
some other cards.He went first with all his cards down and 1 monster in 
defense.I put my la jinn and dominated with that and my Dark Elf.In our 
second duel it was also easy to.I put Dark Elf and all these other cards.He 
put his Witch of The Black Forest in defense and i attacked it.He got a cheap 
card out and i didnt really care.I drew Monster Reborn and used it on his 
Witch of The Black Forest and got my Summoned Skull and i won.

I had to wait a while untill the next duel because we were using a ladder so 
everyone else were still battling.When they announced who was next i was 
facing up against Michael cousin, Nico. I was like is this Family Fued or 
something? 
Name: Nico
Age:Teenager
He beat me 1-2(this one was kind of tough)
I cant really remember this one because after this one i just looked and my 
cards and rebuilt my deck.He was good  but i beat him in the first duel.In 
the second duel he beat me because i think i kept on using Dark Elf.Well in 
the third one he used his Shadow Ghoul and had like a whole bunch of monsters 
in his graveyard.Well at least i went farther than my friends who lost in the 
first round.

In the tournament pack i got a Versago the Destroyer,The Judgement Hand,and 
Winged Dragon,Guardian of the Fortress #2.These havent come out yet.I traded 
them for 2xLittle Chimera,1st Edition Final Flame,and a Blade Fly.
