I enter the tourney around 12:00 P.M and the place reaked of cheese and 
armpit sweat. Before the actually tourney started I obtained some pretty 
good cards such as Left Leg and Right Arm of Exodia. I also got two decent 
cards "Versago the Destoyer" and "BeastKing of The Swamps" 2 good fusion 
substitute monsters. For those who don't know fusion substitute monsters can 
take the place of another monster required in fusion such as instead of 
using a Skull and a Red Eyes to get a B. Skull Dragon; you can use Versago 
and Skull to get the same thing.

Round 1:Myself vs. James
James is a decent duelist; his burn deck can either beat you instantly or 
lose eventually, with me it was neither nor. I went first and I drew an 
excellent hand. I played a cyber jar face down and let him go. He placed 2 
cards down(which were just deserts) and attacked w/ La Jinn. My cyber jar 
gave me 5 monsters and gave him 3 and two magics. He played his monsters in 
defense and then it was my turn. As soon as I drew he played his Just 
Deserts doing 5000!! life point damage ouch!!! lucky I used cahnge of heart 
to get one of his face down cards tributed it and one of my monster for 
Barrel Dragon. I then used Pot of Greed to get Megamorph and Raigeki.... I 
equipped my Barrel Dragon w/ mega and used Raigeki to attack his life pts 
and win the match.... by the way I did 16,800 with all my monsters.

Second Match went by quick I had my Skull discarded w/ tribute to the doomed 
  and brought him pack w/ premature burial to attack his life points 
directly. He played 4 traps, but I heavy stormed them away and used another 
tribute to bring out 2 La Jinns one special and one normal summon to win the 
match.

Round 2:Myself vs Exodia Man
This had to be the most interseing match in the whole tourney. Everyone 
gathered around us like Rosie O' Donell at a donut shop. He had beat 4 
people w/ his exodia deck and had never lost. Well guess what I changed that 
real fast. To make a long story short in the 1st round I lost because he 
lastwilled his Sangans and Witches; then reborned them and got out 
EXODIA!!!!

The second round I side decked and whooped him nasty. I Consficationed his 
Raigeki, I exchanged his reborn and I elminated his monsters from his hand. 
Thanks to Deliquent Duo and Consfiscation my life pts were lower than his 
allowing me to play the summon skull; megamorph combo. Basically here; the 
damage done to me was by myself.

Same concept here but w/ a twist. In this duel he used gravity bind; and my 
deck was not prepared for that. He stalled long enough to get 3 pieces but 
when I drew my storms and trunade his life points were for the taken. He's 
cool when he lost he said that I was a good duelist then he probably went 
home and cryed; better luck next time.

Round 3:Myself vs Bad Breathe girl
The only hard part about this duel was breathing; omg her breathe was nasty. 
She played an earth deck and I was surprised she made it this far. Her 
opening move was Gaia Power and Overdrive; interesting enough I played a 
sangan. When she attacked I drew out cyber jar which I saved for later. 
Anyways to speed things up I stalled until she had Sword Hunter 
sufficieently powered up then I used Snatch Steal and Change of Heart, used 
megamorph on her Sword Hunter to bring him up to 5,600 attack and I tributed 
he other monster for Skull and I won.

Second duel there was no stalling her breathe was making me cry. I just 
shifted to basic beatdown and I eliminated her within 3 turns. Thats right  
I used the same consfication, megamorph, reborn, and tribute combo that won 
the exodia deck w/.

Semi Finals:Myself vs Umberto Rodriguez
This guy is sick. In his first turn he used cyber jar and unleased 3 Goblin 
Attack Force w/ two Axe of Despair destroying my owm Goblin Attack anD La 
Jinn. I did pull dark hole but he countered it and beat me.

The second match I introduced hin\m to the burner part of my deck. I used 
cyber jar and swords. I stalled until we had 5 monsters on the fields and I 
use ceasefire (after activating my own effects) I did 5000 life points 
damage and I stoped his effects. I finished him off w/ a Raigeki and a 
direct life point assault.

Third match things are tough. We have countered each of eac others 
strategies. We both used mirror force and almost all the restricted cards in 
the game' but evidently he still had a trick up his sleeves and it was 
Jinzo!!!! Once that card hit the field my hopes for a win faded out of sight 
like a womans feet at an all u can eat Dairy Queen. I lost but at least I 
came close
