ON TO THE TOURNEY:
I went into the store and got signed up. In my tourney pack I got one decent 1600 attacker.
I went to the tournament and sat next to this one kid hwo I challenged to a practice duel.
He had Exodia.

Pre-duel X1:
The little swordsmans friends were holding out against exodias minions. But before the
little one arrived to help his buds (Summoned skull and relinquished), Exodia had arisen and
and defeated the little ones friends.

Me:o
Him:1

Then another kid showed me his "ultimate annoyance" deck. This had all your favourites,
gravity binds, messangers of peice, solomn wishes etc.
2nd Pre-duel X1:
La-jiin, harpies bro., and 7 colored were taking turns in domination against this deck
with the help of magics and traps. Then the annoyer slapped down a gravity bind
and played som rather anoying 3 star direct attackers. Than the little swordsman arrived
to help his buds, Involvind a jinzo #7 and a rather usefull ultimate offering, the little
swordsman tottaly defeated the ultimate annoyer and his minions.

TOURNAMENT MATCH:
Me vs. Direct damage and beatdown. Duel 1

The swordsman arrived early in his "gravity bind" armour. I played ceasefire dealing 500
to "the direct beater" and revealing his face-down card. Soon the little swords-man had
fallen when the opponent was at 400, and his buds were tooken down soon after

Me:0
Him:400

Duel 2:

Relinquioshed, my man-eater bug, heavy storm.. Id like to thank my deck for banding
together like they did.  It was total beatdown until I locked down to let my little jinzo
#7's and flower pots have a shot.  Then my little one arrived, I played him, the enemy
stayed, I equipped him with a horn of the unicorn and sword of deep-seated, he stayed. I
started to declare the final blow by the ultimate monster... Then he plays solemn
judgement! (pay half of your LP to negate aq summoning, magic, or trap) His lp was 1000
originally and my now 2200 little swordsman was going to atk his man -eater in atk mode
and he plays solemn judgement. Thats like trap-holing a blue-eyes during the battle-phase!
The judges were completely baffled and the one judge said "how bout' this?" He picked up my
little swordsman and put him in the graveyard! Allowing him to do the finishing blow!

Me:0
Him:?

Afterward I traded and then dueled this guy with exodia, The battle involed my beat down
strategy and his very suicidal witch of the black forest (he had like 22 ways to reborn
her!) and he got exodia both times outta 3.

PROPS:
>That kid I lost to... I know that really, My little swordsman beat him!
>Getting skull guardin and delinquint duo
>Having a good tournament match regardless (hey we were both kids hwo wanted to win!)
>my S.S. Relinquished and the little one him self for giving it their all evan against
the powerfull exodia!

SLOPS:
>losing the match that I should have won.
>for the judges being un-fair (hey, I cant argue)
>for the head judge dis-liking me (so I annoy him sometims.. So what?)
>for not getting exodia.
