Round One:

Me Vs. Kris (beatdown deck)

Duel One:  Me
This kid couldn’t have been older than 7 or 8 years old, I let him get some 
monsters out so he could summon his Dark Magician, but I just used Raigeki 
and attacked him directly for the rest.

Me- 8000, 7300

Kris- 8000, 6200, 2200, 0

Duel Two:  Me
Same thing, I let him think he was doing alright so I didn’t hurt his 
feelings but he really shouldn’t have entered, although I did call my Jirai 
Gumo wrong once.  The kid was nice so I gave him two gravity binds and three 
jinzo #7s.

Me-8000, 4000, 3550

Kris-8000, 5800, 1800, 0

Round Two:

Me Vs. Cristian (don’t know the exact spelling, but I think that’s right. 
Ran a beatdown deck)

Duel One:  Me
He got three tribute monsters on his first draw, hindered him quite a bit.  
He set a lot of stuff in defense but I drew my raigeki and two noblemen of 
crossouts, ended up just attacking him directly a lot for the win.

Me- 8000, 7000, 6500

Cristian- 8000, 6200, 1200, 700, 0

Duel Two: Me
No tribute monsters this time for him, which kind of worried me for a bit, 
but he set all of his cards, magic and trap, and I heavy stormed his change 
of heart, monster reborn, mirror force, and something else.  Pretty much 
ruined him, attacked his defense cards and attacked directly for the rest of 
the duel.  He was also pretty cool and traded me another heavy storm.

Me- 8000

Cristian- 8000, 5700, 3500, 1700, 0

Round Three:

Me Vs. Alex (I think that’s his name, ran an Exodia deck)

Duel One: Me
I got confiscation on my first draw, thank God for that, and I looked at his 
hand. He had four Exodia pieces in his hand, and luckily, one was the head 
so I discarded it, he then did some sort of giving up thing and I finished 
him off quite quickly.

Me- 8000

Alex- 8000, 6200, 2200, 0

Duel Two: Me
Basically the same thing, I got confiscation and delinquent duo on my first 
draw, but didn’t manage to get the card destruction I slipped in from my 
side deck.  But he again had 4 pieces, and again, the head, so I got rid of 
that with confiscation, but he didn’t give up so easily this time.  Still 
didn’t matter though, just kept putting pieces out in defense and used a 
magical hats to save himself for a round.

Me- 8000

Alex- 8000, 6200, 5400, 1800, 0

Round Four:

Me Vs. Yellow Jacket Guy (ran a counter everything you do beatdown deck)

Duel One: Me
Didn’t catch his name, but evidently he is a regular there and always wins 
or some such, he’d just got done wiping the floor with my friend, but he 
says it’s because he got nothing but monsters.  Anywho, he got quite a few 
traps on his first draw, but I heavy stormed them and fissured his goblin 
attack force and hit him with a Jirai Gumo, finished the duel about the same 
way, just kept killing his monsters with magic and attacking him with Jirai.

Me- 8000, 7000, 3500

Y. J. G.- 8000, 5800, 3600, 400, 0

Duel Two: Me
He got all three trap holes on his first draw, made me kind of angry, but I 
mystical space typhooned his third one thankfully and nobleman of crossouted 
his defense cards, attacked directly and won.  Later looked at his deck and 
found he had 2 magic jammers, 2 seven tools, imperial order, 2 magic drain, 
solemn judgement, and those trap holes.  I was surprised he didn’t pull many 
of them out.

Me- 8000, 4000, 2200

Y. J. G.- 8000, 7000, 4800, 800, 0

Round Five: Semi-Finals

I got a buy, but I dueled one of the judges while I was waiting, he used an 
exodia/attack lifepoints deck, it was a bit odd, but it did fine enough. I 
won every time, but it was pretty neat how he had it set up, still not as 
effective as the traditional defense exodia decks though.

Round Six: Finals

Me Vs. Motli (or something like that, ran a straight beatdown deck)

Duel One: Me
This guy seemed pretty cool at first, but he was a major whiner.  He called 
the judge over for everything I did, which didn’t help him one bit.  I 
really don’t see how this guy made it to the finals, guess he was just 
REALLY lucky.  He got nothing but monsters and equip cards, basically all he 
had.  Equiped his Dark Elf with an Axe of Despair and a Sword of the 
Deep-Seated, I fissured it and he had to draw his sword again, he managed to 
hurt me somewhat, but he ran out of monsters really fast because he had to 
keep drawing that card.

Me- 8000, 7200, 6700

Motli- 8000, 6200, 2200, 0

Duel Two: Me
Same thing, this guy was pathetic…

Me- 8000, 5500

Motli- 8000, 4000, 2200, 0

End result- I WIN!!!

Prize: One TP2 pack…

Pros:
To me for winning my first tournament
To me for getting good trades
To everyone being really cool besides Motli

Cons:
To Motli for being such a whiner
To the crappy prize
To not getting anything good out of my tournament pack.
