got them back)

Hi all, this is my 2nd tourney report, and I hope I make it better than the last. 
Anyways, I arrived at wizards around 5:00, only a few people had arrived so we were 
contemplating not having a tournament. But by 5:30 we had 10 people. It was swiss 
system and wizards had a program to do the pairings. I knew most of the people there, 
the best were my brother (Kale), Si, his brother Hugh, Mark, and of course me. The 1st 
round parinings were quite surprising.

Me vs. My brother
Si vs. his brother
Mark vs. some little kid

But it was odd that the brothers went agaisnt each other, especially since me and my 
brother were 2 of the best.

Anyways, here is how it went.

Holland vs. Kale

match 1: I kept killing his monsters, and he attacked my wall of illusions a few times 
to loose monsters, I kept attacking with my walls and he lost quite a few lp with Solemn 
Judgement. In the end he had 350 lp and I had a MOF out, I drew my kuriboh, I played it, 
he flipped trap hole, but it doesn't work on him, so I attacked to win.

match 2: Same as before but he lost 6000 or so lp from Solemn Judgement, I attacked with 
my walls and won.

Round 1 results

Me 1-0
Kale 0-1
Si 1-0
Hugh 0-1
Mark 1-0


This round I had to play Si, not to happy about that.

Holland vs. Si

Match 1: We both kept clearing the field, and attacking each other with creatures, but 
I won out by using 7 tools on his mirror force and doing 2800 damage to win

Match 2: I got almost no monster, he brought me down to 800lp, but then I got SORL, then 
got another SORL, then brought it back with MOF 2 times, but finally I ran out of monsters 
and traps and he won.

Match 3: very quick, he had good magic/trap/monster in his 1st hand, My 1st had had only 
monsters which he killed and attakced my lp directly

Round 2 results:

me 1-1
kale 1-1
Si 2-0
Hugh 1-1
Mark 2-0

Si and I were the only close duels, everyone else had easy people to play.

Round 3, me vs. Mark
I figured this would be an easy win but a few rules mishaps changed a lot.

Match 1: I had this one easy, my winning combo was change of heart on his SS, reborn his 
other SS, summon a la jinn, and i had a MEB on set. So I attacking with the 2 SS, then with 
la ginn, he plays monster reborn on a shadow goul, let me repeat that, 

he plays monster reborn on my turn during the battle phase to summon a monster and says my 
la jinn attacks it. We get a judge to come over and since earlier the manager tried to call 
the hotline but couldn't so ruled that you can play magic cards during any battle phase. I 
shuffled my deck out of habbit as I was trying to explain he couldn't do that. I got a rule 
book saying only quick play magic cards can be used during battle phase but the worker there 
said it didn't matter because the manager said that you could play them. They then said that 
I lost because I shuffled my deck. 

Bah, if he wants to win that way fine. But I said I would play by the rules. I quickly beat 
him 2 times in row with out cheating. Hopefully we can work this out by next week.

Round 3 results

Me 2-1
Kale 2-1
Sigh 3-0
Hugh 2-1
Mark 2-1

As you can see we have quite a few people who are 2-1, so we wait for the pairings.
Mark vs. Sigh, me vs. Hugh, my brother agaisnt some easy kid. So my brother has played only 
1 hard duel, agaisnt me. He got lucky.

Rond 4 Me vs. hugh

Match 1: Got a good hand and whooped him, using change of heart 2 times and raigeki 
2 times.

Match 2: same as 1st, using 7 tools on his mirror force and change of heart a few times.


Final results
Me 3-1
Kale 3-1
Sigh 4-0 
Hugh 2-2
Mark 2-2

They put evrything into the computer and the final standings were:
1st: Sigh
2nd: Me (Holland)
3rd: kale

I got 2nd over my brother because I played harder people. In my boosters i got a magic 
jammer, which I needed because I was borrowing 1. All in all in was a good tourney and 
hopefully we clear up the rules.

Props
-Me for getting 2nd
-Me for getting a magic jammer
-For all the fun we had

Slops
-Mark for not agreeing with the rule book
-Sigh for copying my deck and not using tribute monsters
-Upperdeck for not sending out tournament kits
