Round 1: Matt <-- Thats me vs. Random w/ Random deck
 
Pre-History Matches: None
 
Game 1: I felt kind of sorry for the kid.  I mean first time coming to the store and you get the stuffing kicked out of you first round.  Anyways, the kid didn't have much of a good dueling history.  His best move was chaining Scapegoat.  Spear Dragon's came in and took them over.  Comboed with the draw advantage that I had, I won the game nice and fast.
 
Game 2: I didn't have much draw advantage this game, as I couldn't figure out where all my draw was.  Anyways I still ended up winning quite fast.  It didn't take long for me to end up winning the game and the round.  On the bright side, the kid got a White Hole. =/
 
Round 2: Matt vs. Anthony w/ Beatdown
 
Pre-History: Won all tourney matches with Anthony, although he can occaisionally win outside of tournaments.
 
Game 1: He is in the team that Im in.  Team Ultima w00t!! Anyways, he is a good player, just makes stupid mistakes.  Anyways, I got really good draw advantage on the first turn, and took his stuff while taking out any monsters that were in my way.
 
Game 2: I can't remember who won this match, but I think he pulled out a win here.  The match was short, nothing dragged out.
 
Game 3: I ended up winning the round, the match details were that he had a really good force, until I cleared his facedown traps, took his monsters and removed the rest, summoned Injection Fairy Lily, and gave him the one hit wonder.  Then I find out Ill be facing Kyle next.  My celebrations were short lived.
 
Round 3: Matt vs. Kyle w/ Beatdown
 
Pre-History: Any matches that we have played in tournaments I have won, but the rest in the outside of tournaments, he is the favourite.
 
Game 1: It was slow going for me at the beginning.  Also unfortunately for me, he had a good card advantage.  I drew Fiber Jar which helped things a lot.  We were both hovering at around 5500 and I had a lot of card advantage and was running thru my deck like Speedy Gonzalez.  I ended up using Injection Fairy Lily and something else to win the game.
 
Game 2: It went pretty much the same way except this time I used Cyber Jar, and pulled out of a dangerous situation of him having many monsters after my Swords of Revealing Light ended.  I ended up getting the Cyber Jar flip and got a bit of everything.  A monster, drawing, monster removal, etc.  I had some good stuff in my hand now.  I got the stuff I needed out, then used Card Destruction to eliminate his whopper of a hand.  I ended up winning this one as I beat him thru the park and back.
 
Round 4: Matt vs. Michael D. w/ Mixed Beatdown
 
Pre-History: Most matches, I win.
 
Game 1: He had a really bad hand which I messed with by killing off his traps and then Imperial Ordering anything good he might have had.  It ended up me hosting his funeral.
 
Game 2: This time it went a little more even.  We were neck and neck.  He ended up getting off an attack with Goblin Attack Force late in the game.  I had about 1000 life points after this.  I topdecked a Spear Dragon.  I thought YESSSSSSSSSSSS.  I ended up winning the game and the match with that attack.
 
Round 5: FINALS: Matt vs. Erwin w/ Beatdown
 
Pre-History: None
 
Game 1: This was a butt whooping that he delt me.  I had no chance with the hand that I had.  Every break that I got he knocked it out of the sky.  He slaughtered me.  I wasn't pleased by that but I thought I'd get them back.
 
Game 2: This time I came out of the gates a little more focused and on top of the game.  Nearing the end he had 600 life points and I had 1900.  I quickly glanced over at the sheet of paper just seeing the 1900.  So I got 4 monsters out on the field.
Sadly he used Ceasefire :(.  I only needed 2 monsters.  I was going to launch them off with Cannon Soldier for the victory.  I got over it.  2nd place was fine considering the First Place spot from the store wasn't there for the 2nd time.
 
I ended up getting commons in my tournament pack.  Nothing special.
