Approximately 30 people or so entered:

First round:	Myself verse Kevin(probably 12-13) with exodia

Game 1:  Started out fair, he played 2000 Defs(Soldiers of stone), pretty 
much ended his chance when I got head with a lucky DD.
Game 2:  Same as before, but a nice Confiscation got his head this game.

2-0
4500-0   7000-0

Second round:	Myself verse  Greg(maybe 14?) with exodia(got to love the 
exodia kids)

Game 1:  I got out some nice combos, then got gravity binded for a bit, held 
advantage over him entire game.
Game 2:  Painful choice, backup soldier, need to say more? (lucky)
Game 3: I had to sidedeck, no one beats me with exodia(please, lol, get a 
real deck) First turn Card Destruction, then Soul Release(OUCH)

2-1
5000-0  8000-8000  6000 - 0

Third Round: 	Myself verse Joe with exodia(as main deck, a regular, early 
20s)

Game 1:   I knew he played a decent exodia, but when will these people 
learn?
Game 2:  He sidedecked out his exodia, he knew it was his only 
chance...(good match Joe, too bad you're giving up on exodia)

2-0
8000-0  2000-0

Fourth Round: 	Myself verse Hyle(used to play a fun dragon deck, now plays 
exodia)

Game 1:  He is a really good guy, I just wish he knew all the rulings, 
Appropriate with Bistro(thinking he drew 4 with it) and all
Game 2:  Has some nice cards with Magic Cylinders, but like the other 
exodia's, needs to build a better exodia, more based on exodia
(besides Joe, he had quite a decent one)
He tried to get 4 exodia pieces back with backup soldier, (I had to read the 
card for him, sorry man)

2-0
3700-0  5300-0

Fifth Round: 	Myself verse the #1 store ranked, supposedly the 26th in 
nation: Moya the Destroyer(custom beatdown)

Game 1:  I beat him last week, and earned fourth, he took me three last 
week, long match,  this was much different, fairly quick and painless
Game 2:  I wish he would stop whining, he used to cheat people with crap 
like Cannon Soldier, until I had to tell him that it is Main phase 1 or 2 
only...
He hates me now because without drawing his precious pot of greed, he has no 
game.  Grow up Victor, you're in your 20s, it's just a game, don't be a sore 
loser.

2-0
Lost Score, I was squeezing the score on the little paper I had left.... 
maybe    4000-0   6000-0?

Final Round(Sixth) 		Myself verse the #2 in store, Ben, he also runs the 
tournament, and is a really nice guy(custom beatdown, vermin, rock spirit, 
barrel dragon)

Game 1:  Cards were with me, and got a maybe 6th turn victory.
Game 2:  Cyber Jars and many cards later, it was close, both of us were 
playing off the draw for awhile, then I regained card advantage near end, 
and had a perfect timing Monster Reborn with 3 cards left to draw(can you 
say sweet?)

2-0
Lost score, I think it was around 6000-0 first game, then  < 2000 - 0, 
really nice games, I made a mistake and forgot to use my skull lair on his 
sangan before I monster reborned my Jinzo.

Props:
Brother made it 3rd round, he lent me a penguin soldier... gave him a 
torrential tribute from 24-box that I won
Bro-in-law got about 6th, lost to Ben in later rounds...
Got a Torrential Tribute, and a box of Nightmare, no Gemini, but a 2nd 
TT....
Ben being a really nice guy, and beating me the previous week with a nice 
barrel dragon flip(in the 3rd game)
Good job everyone, it was fun, long, and tiring

Slops:

MOYA needing to grow up, IT IS ONLY A GAME....
Maybe you shouldn't base winning on getting Pot of Greed(lol, wuss)

Notes: I have slightly modified my deck since, It's at 41 now, still 
tweaking, hard to take out 1 more card...
