Today was the north american world championship qualifier for Yu-Gi-Oh! consisting of all the canadian and american players who received their invitations at regional tournaments. Opening ceremonies were presented by Greg Abby (voice actor of Yusei Fudo in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's) and Dan Green (Voice of Yugi from the original Yu-Gi-Oh series) and they were available for autographs throughout the day. Hearing them live was very unexpected... to the point were upon hearing them I had a little fanboy freakout ^^ I'm gonna try and see them tomorrow because today the lines were too long to see them between matches.

On the topic of time today was the longest tournament I've ever been through and today tested me not only mentally but physically as well. The day of card games started early enough with the tounament starting at 10am, and was expected to end at 8pm. Sadly that was not the case as I never got to leave the convention center until 12:30am. Food was a bit scarce as convention food is too expensive but fortunately I packed some granola bars and they lasted through the day. The tounament consisted of 9 rounds and just about every opponent I had today was very polite and pleasant to play against making for a very enjoyable day ^^. Out of all the matches played I managed to win 6 of them and out of the 1842 people enrolled in the tournament I managed to place 218th making today my most succesful National championship ever and day I can be quite proud of =3

As for now... I need to sleep ^^;; Then tomorrow my friends and I are gonna make our wayback to Canada. Night all!
