Round 1:  Daniel (just had a bunch of cards thrown together as he was a newbie)
This was a short duel because he didn't know what he was doing.   After the 
duel, we sat down and fixed his deck the best we could with his card stock, 
and then I helped him with some strategies.
Match 1:  Me 8000-7000, Him 8000-7750-3950-0
Match 2: Me 8000, Him 8000-6000-1900-0

Round 2:  Tyler F. (Gravity Bind Deck)
This is my good friend and we've had many duels before.  Unfortunately for him, 
this one counted.  He basically didn't have time to get his Gravity Binds out.  
I hated to beat him in second round, but we had fun.  Even got in a game of 
Warlord after our duel because we still had plenty of time left before everyone 
else got finished with round.
Match 1:  Me 8000-7000, Him 8000-5700-0
Match 2:  Me 8000, Him 8000-7900-6100-5700-5200-0

Round 3: Another Tyler (Didn't really have a theme)
This was a fun duel.  There for a while, neither one of us could attack due to 
trap and magic cards.  This Tyler was still new to the game, so I had to help 
him out a little.  Didn't quite understand all the rules.  Here's how it went:
Match 1:  Me 8000, Him 8000-5700-6700-4300-0
Match 2:  Me 8000-7000, Him 8000-3900-2100-1100-100-0

Finals:  Zack (Beatdown/Fusion)
This proved to be strongest competition.  Had a pretty good deck, except that 
it was HUGE.  He still played pretty well, just couldn't attack fast enough.  
I kept getting good draws, thank god for me.  Had a fun duel anyway.
Match 1:  Me 8000-7000-6000, Him 8000-6000-2200-0
Match 2:  Me 8000-6000, Him 8000-7000-6700-5700-3300-0

Got a few boosters for winning, which wasn't bad.  Overall, it was fun.  
Got to help out some newbies, which I always love to do.  The better players 
weren't there this week, and they'd better be there next week!
