round one- chris vs. matthew(basic beatdwn)

his deck was made of a lot of 1800 atk point monsters and a few giant orcs. Match one took a while but I eventually got out my jinzo and some other monsters ond finished of his life points from there.
Match two was mine. I got barrel dragon out the second turn thanks to my nimbles. I was lucky with my coin flips and used limiter removal to finish him off.
Record-2-0

Round two-chris vs. lamar(gravity bind\deck destruction)

Match one went my way the whole time. I kept taking down his defenses and took his life points down. Match two was a little more difficult because he got his stall cards out early but  monster reborned his cyber jar and summoned my own and once again took down his life points.
Record-4-0

Round three-chris vs. ? sorry forgot your name(beat down)

Match one went back and forth but he finally got my points down to 0 for my first loss. The next two rounds went pretty much the same exept it was me who came out on top.
Record-6-1

Round four-chris vs. dante(beat down)

This match was hard. He was able to stop everything I tried to do. He beat me after about 6 turns. There was nothing I could do to stop him. In match two I stepped it up a bit and took him down as fast as could and ended up beating him. Match three was no problem for me. It didn't take me very long to take him out.
Record-8-2

Round five semi-finals-chris vs. Daniel(zombie lord)

This guy had three zombie lords in his deck along with a lot of the other top zombie monsters. I knew this match would be difficult but I was determined to win. I dominated the first match. I wiped out his monsters and m/t. then using my big monsters to wipe out the rest of his life points. But, things didn't go my way the rest of the duel. He got out all of his zombie lords and took out my life points.
Record-9-4

Match for third-chris vs. ryan or erik(which ever twin I was playing)(beat down)

I won the first match of this game but just fell apart in the last two and got 4th place.
