when i got there i signed up. my brother was there too. he has a water based deck. anyway, i waited like 5 min. and then went up against a kid named steve.oh, by the way all of them are held in 1 duel form, not a match.

duel 1 me vs. steve

first i played a kycoo (in attack position) to start off and played magic jammer face down, he then played a la jinn (attack position) and used a fissure so i used magic jammer. he passed. so on my turn i tributed my kycoo for jinzo so he couldn't use his trap holes on me. ( i hate those things) so he kept playing his monsters in defence and none of them were effects! so then i ended up having my 2 gemini elfs, jinzo, and an opticlops to lead a full force attack on his life points.
me 8000, 7500
him 8000,5600,3200,0

duel 2 me vs. john
i just point black beat him. he thought the tourney was made for no tributes (like on the show) so he couldn't do much and he eventually forfitted.
me 8000
him 8000,6500,4000,forfitted

semifinals duel 3 me vs. my brother
well it came down to the last 4 and we had to face each other. even thought i win against him most of the time, he is hard to beat. he started by playing his legendary ocean field card and played his deepsea warrior in attack position which made it a 4 star 1800 monster. so i harpie feather dusted all of his magic and trap cards. that was a shame too. he had a trap hole, waboku, his field and a scapgoat. so then i played opticlops and attacked. we went back and forth, exchanging blows, but i came out with the victory.
me 8000,6200,5200,4600,3400
him 8000,7800,6000,3200,1500,750,0

final round me vs. kid with bad cards
i don't understand how he made it so far, but i won. i wouldn't have one thought because i couldn't get my good beatdown cards, but exodia saved me,

prize: 5 dollars, cheap, but at least it didn't cost me anything.

props: my brother for giving me a good fight
            jinzo
            and exodia (thank u)

slops: not getting my beatdown cards
           only gettin 5 dollars
           kid who played without tributes
