Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament

Last Friday, 14 teens came out for a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament at the library.  Most of them were from our Monday gaming club.  They were looking forward to it because they have been asking me to do a tournament all winter!  We did single elimination, with the earliest two losers making up a pair to give us an even 16 in the tournament.  Three older members of the gaming club (David, Tim, and Alex) acted as judges, which was really helpful to me since I don't play the game.  I kept track of the brackets while they solved disputes and monitored the times on the various matches.  Amazingly, we managed to get done by 8:30 (this is not always the case at our Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments).

This program was funded with money from our teen Random-A-Thon, so we had a $25 gift card to Target for the winner.  Plus, Le (a generous gaming club member) donated two rare cards, and each of the two top finishers got one.  The top four were Joseph, Mark, Nicholas, and Dave M., and they each got candy.  Joseph and Dave made it to the finals, and Dave was the overall winner.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament

Since the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game has become popular again, several members of our weekly Gaming Club have been asking me to have a tournament. We used to do a lot of tournaments, but it has been a few years since our last one, so I decided to give it a try. Last Friday, 11 players and 2 judges showed up for our tournament. Most of them were from our Gaming Club, but there were a few new faces. It was a small group, but some of the early gameplay took forever! Thanks to Alex F. and David J. who put up with a lot as our judges. We got through two rounds of three games each, but we actually had to suspend the tournament in the middle of the finals and resume it at Gaming Club on Monday! After all of that, Alex C. emerged as the winner and got a $15 gift card to Toys R Us to buy some new cards. Our top three finishers also included Jamie M. and John E., who each won candy for their efforts. It was fun to try this again, so thanks to everyone who showed up to duel and judge!

Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament

Last night, 17 guys came out to our winter Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament. Sean walked away as the winner after 4 rounds of play, with Greg coming in second. They each got packs. We also had a drawing, and Will and Tariq won packs from that. We might do another tournament in the summer, so keep an eye on the schedule.
