    We arrived 1 hour early, and were the first ones there.   We started winning right before the tournament started.  We played dumb, and as if we hadn't played before to some kids who were new.  We asked to trade them for something and got a chance to look at their decks.  Bahahahahahahaha!  Fools!  Some friends of ours, Alex and Eli, were playing as well.  We ate pizza and talked.  We hung out with Paul, another good duelist form our store.  Mark is actually pretty good.  I taught him every thing, and he started about 4 months ago.  We played some kids we were intimidating earlier with the "I suck" act.  Guess how this went...
 
    1st Round:  Team Oompa Loompa vs. Guys we fooled
1st Mach:  We started by asking them if they wanted to forfeit (intimidation).  They said no, and we started annoying them.  We asked them Stupid and random questions, sang stupid songs, and dissed them the entire time.  They went down like a boulder off a cliff.  Mark started strong with a huge Cannon solider play, and I set Grave Keepers.  He cleared the field, and I swarmed out one opponent.  The second Riagikied me, and I Cyber Jared, and he set all monsters in attack mode!  I whooped him with scientist, scince he had already been weakened by Cannon Solider, and he was pummeled.
2nd Mach:  Same thing.  We knocked one out early and one was fighting for survival.  We finally swatted the annoying little fly by rea boring his Summoned Skull, and me swarming him with Gravekeeper's.  They were good sports though, even if we did play a psychological game with them.
     2nd Round:  Team Oompa Loompa vs. 14 year old nerd and his 10 year old brother
Mach 1: This really wasn't as easy as we thought.  Eli and Alex lost the first round, too bad realy.  We kept asking them if they want to forfeit, and used verbal jabs to keep them on edge.  They were the most affected by this though, I played super confident, and Mark acted super annoying.  They ran Destiny Board decks, but we kept using M/T removal to stop them, and crushed their inferior monsters.  We devastated them the whole game.
Match 2:  They started by play ing Sanga of Thunder and I CoHed it so they used Ring.  This would  ultimately lose them the game.  They never did get Destiny Board to work, so they played beatdown.  They targeted me, so I decided to do Truck loads of damage before I went out, and after eliminating the nerd, I had a field with nothing but a Gravekeeper's Curse on the field in attack mode, and few lifepoints.  The little kid beat me, but he was weakened, and with my guidance, Mark crushed him.
    Round 3: Team Oompa Loompa vs. Brian, and Chris
Match 1: I know these guys and they're tough.  Probably the best at the store.  We went super annoyance to try to intimidate them, and it must have succeeded, due to the fact that they were threatening our lives.  We just started laying things face down the first two turns and me and Mark both had Ceasefire face-down.  I used scientist to give me a full field of effect monsters, and aimed both Ceasefires at Chris, doing 10,000 lp of damage to eliminate him.  I then cleared Brains field with scientist fusions, and did direct damage with Scientist and a pumped up Lilly, with Mage Power and 2 other face down M/T.  I was eliminated right after, science I only had 3000 lp left.  He breakered my scientist, and mark went to defense, and Brian used Breaker's effect to destroy Mage Power and Attacked Lilly to eliminate me.  Even with my guidance and huge amounts of direct damage I did to Brian, Mark couldn't pull through. 
Match 2: Basically the same thing but after doing big damage (no Ceasefire triumph this time) I was eliminated and Mark was doing great.  Then he ran into a Fiber Jar, and didn't have any monsters on the field ( he tried to cheat by lapping a Kurribo, but I made him come clean) he lost.  That ended it for us, we got 3rd, and squat.  Now time for props and slops.
