There were 11 people at the tournament.  This is how it went.


Round 1: Me vs. some chubby kid

Duel 1: He had a pretty good offense and might have beaten me if not for one thing.  He mustn't have been playing very long, because he didn't know that Arsenal Bug had an ATK and DEF stat effect.  This helped me stall long enough to get some good monsters on the field and whoop his brain-dead butt.
Duel 2: Went practically the exact way the first one did.


Round 2: Me vs. Shane

Duel 1: He always attacked my defenses at the wrong time, and when he got a good monster, it always attacked my Kryuel.  Kryuel helped me a lot in this duel.  With Kaiser Coliseum in play, I kept him at one monster most of the time.  This was a long duel.
Duel 2: This duel was similar to the first, but my Offerings to the Doomed came into play, literally saving me.  These duels have a time limit of 40 minutes, and I eventually won because time ran out.


Semi-Final: I got a by this round.


Finals: Me vs. Patrick

Duel 1: Ironically, this kid is the one I usually face first at regular tournaments.  He had good offense, he used Gradius a lot.  I set defenses all over, and thanks to Continuous Destruction Punch, his monsters killed themselves one by one.  I finally got an offense assembled and killed him with that.
Duel 2: This went mostly like the first one, but I ended up killing him with my defense cards since he had only Magic/Spell cards.
