Well, the tournament started at 1:00 PM EST and I arrived at the tournament at around noon. Well, nothing really happened before the tournament started. Although, I did try out my scientist deck against some people and it played pretty well. I was 3-1 with it. Just a couple things to fix. Now, let's get to the tournament.

Round 1: Me V.S. Stephen
-I was last week's champ so everyone knew I was the one to beat. Now, the guy I was facing was one of the older duelist around. I had never lost to him before, so I was confident. I won the first duel pretty quickly with a Yata-Lock. The second duel took a while, but he beat me with his nightmare wheel on my don and his spear dragons. The third and final duel only took a couple of turns for me to swarm him with my three 1900 atkers and a don on the field with a direct attack.

Round 2: Me V.S. Alexie
-This guy was a former judge at the store and played a weird deck. I had never lost to this guy before either. He played red-eyes black metals and goddess with third eye. It was some sort of machine deck. Anyways, I took him pretty fast in two straight duels. He was pretty pissed. He didn't even want to shake my hand after we were done.

Round 3: Me V.S. Tom
-I had never dueled this guy before and didn't know what to expect. I annihilted me in the first duel. I couldn't destroy his guardian sphinx and didn't draw any traps or descent spell cards. The second match was all him until i drew my don zaloog. I had about 1200 LP left and had 3 cards in my hand, dark hole, MST, and the Don I just drew. Well, I destroyed his face down question (don't know why he set it) and dark holes then took it from there for the win. The third duel went back and forth, but I won with about 4000 LP left.

Round 4: Me V.S. Mike S.
-This guy hasn't been around for a while. I've faced this guy twice in tournament play last year and have never beaten him. He played a pretty good warrior deck. I took him very fast. My breaker owned the field. Well, after that win, I was off to the finals to play my extreme enemy.

Finals: Me V.S. Bo
-This guy is first in the store, with me in second only 50 points behind. If I won, I'd take first. Anyways, he played a fiend deck. In the first duel, I owned him! The duel only lasted about five or six turns. Unfortunately, he came out storming in the next two duels and won. I was so pissed at myself.

Well, that was my report.

Props:
-Getting to finals
-Beating Mike
-Soul Calibur 2 (just for being the greatest game ever)

Slops
-Getting crap in my MFC pack
-Losing to Bo
-Not being able to beat Marcus in fun duels
