My first Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament

Earlier today I took Dylan and Jake to their first Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament which took place in a small mall in Maui.

The event attracted about 16 kids, mostly local from Maui except for my kids. It took about 40 minutes after we arrived for the pairing for the actual Tournament to happen with a lot of time-to-burn in between the waiting.

While everyone was waiting to start playing, the kids let each other review each other's respective decks and there were attempts at time to trade cards amongst the players.

After the pairing were announced, someone walked around to make sure that everyone's decks were up to the Tournament's rules and once they were all reviewed, the Tournament started.

Dylan and Jake lasted maybe ten minutes each and while they didn't get past the first level of the qualifying round this time, they left the tournament the experience of being part in one and the realization that it takes more than a good deck to win a match.

I am new to the internet and I am surfing here and this is very interesting reading. I did a search in the search engines on "pub bar blog" and I found your web blog.
I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and I enjoy going to my local Halifax pub and meeting new and old friends.
I was researching blogs as I was interested in a blog for myself, that is if I can understand how to operate a blog. The different things discussed on this website found by searching for "pub bar blog" is very amusing and from seeing and understanding more of how a blog operates, it may be more than this Halifax pub guy to handle.

thanks for the insight
see you at the pub ( some call it bar! )
