Hello, fans of Pojo. I'm Blackbelt. This is my first Tournament report (and first tournament for that matter), though I've been playing yugioh for a while now. Somewhere around 20 people participated in this tournament, and it took place on Saturday, May 10, 2003. Entrance fee was 5 dollars, and everyone got one tournament pack upon entering. Anyway, my deck goes as follows:

Traps(6):

Solemn Judgement

Fusion Deck(3):

Thousand-Eyes Restrict

The Basis of my deck is to hit my opponent hard and fast, usually with my Fusions, but my regular monsters can do it just as easily. Anyway, After the tournament officials matched up the people with their opponents, sat them down, and explained the rules (new restricted list, style of matches[single elimination] they passed out our tournament packs. I chose not to open mine at that time, and instead started shuffling my deck for the match.

Fearless Fusions vs. Marcus(Kid with a beginner deck)
Marcus, as it seemed, was a beginner, but he was a nice guyIn my first hand, I got Revival Jam, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Sinister Serpent, and Fusion Gate.I went first, so I set Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder, and put Revival Jam Face down. On his turn, he does nothing. My turn, I draw Polymerization. I put Revival Jam in attack mode, and attack his life points. On his turn, he plays Dian Keto the Cure Master, and sets one card down. I draw Baby Dragon. I put Sinister Serpent in defense mode, and I attack with Revival Jam. It goes through. The rest oof the match pretty much goes like that. After the match, I found out that all he had were tribute monsters in his hand. I felt sorry for him. But I did win!
Blackbelt: 8000
Marcus: 8000-6500-7500-6000-4500-3000-1500-0

After the match, I opened my tournament pack. I got Spirit of the Harp, Goblin's Secret Remedy, and PATROL ROBO!! I immediately switched out Zombyra the Dark and put Patrol Robo in. Then I found out my next opponent. It was a guy I've played at school named Alan. He always beats me. But I tried anyway.

Fearless Fusions vs. Alan(Really Good Beatdown)
I start by playing Sinister Serpent face down and ending my turn. He uses Dark Hole, then plays Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer in attack mode, attacks me, and removes me Serpent from play. I don't remember the rest, but quite frankly, I'd rather not. I remember him ending the game with a Magic Cylinder when my Goblin Attack Force attacked.
Blackbelt: 8000-6200-down to zero quickly
Alan: 8000-7300(Imperial Order)

I lost. I had lots of fun though.


Good:
Getting past the first round
No big headed jerks
PATROL ROBO!!!

Bad:
Losing
