WDF Tournament Report #5 15/9/2012

Well, it is being awhile since we have one.
It is not really a ENTIRELY WDF. Full Yen Aunty "gave" us two more people to make a nice number for a swiss format.

We have a few new members..... Will do le update

I did not really write down much...... I think I getting lazy. So cannot remember much.


Format: 3 swiss cut to top 4
Number of Participant: 8
Deck used: Machina Gadget

Round 1 vs JJ?? (Black Feather) OO-

Game 1:
Annoying Icarus is annoying.........
Blew up two of my compluse.
Where is my starlight road when I needed it.
Played it slow as I am unsure of his backrow


(Apparently, he did not have a side deck so I decided to be fair and not side too.)

Game 2;
Can someone please tell me what to do with a Mind Controlled Vayu? Absolutely nothing.......
A Gaia Dragoon did massive hit on his vayu.



(At around here, we were forced to shift somewhere else, due to cleaning and washing shit)

Round 2 vs Edwin Soh (Book of Spell) XX-
Game 1: Forgot what happened

(Sided 2 Mind Crush)
Game 2: Killed my own roach with my torrential, but still died


Round 3 vs ??? (Chaos Dragon) XOO

Game 1: One does not simply have a perfect hand and kill me


(Sided 2 Debunk and 1 Morphing Jar 2)

Game 2: Played it slow as I prevent him from milling by complusing his Lyal (I think)
Cannot remember much.


Game 3; Ultimate Offering + Limiter Removal with a Solemn Warning as a back-up....


Top 4

Round 4 vs Ghakim (Gravekeepers)
Game 1;
Poke me with his recruiter
Judgement his Necrovalley........ Damn boss and stupid as well.
Mirror Force kills my Fortress plus Gearframe


(Sided 2 Debunk and Morphing Jar 2)


Game 2: Played it slowly, game with a limiter on Red, yellow and Machina Fortress

Game 3; Hit into time as I debunk his recruiter
Lost due to time

Apparently, it is very tiring.........
The top 2 placing is Hakim vs Jason.
They determine their victory with a dice roll which apparently Jason won.

And Jason made massive profit with his abyss rising pack...... (If you know what I mean)
End of Report

Cheers

The outcome of the game? You be the judge of that!

Well lately I hanged out with the gang and shet and I hear a lot of bitchin' about rule-sharking, misplay, cheating and effect misconceptions. If I may simply put, it is the player's fault for not doing anything or noticing these faults beforehand because when the games over, shedding tears of defeat are meaningless.

OK, so I decided to come up with a one-shot solution to solve all of these problems. Pay attention because YOU decide how the game ends.

1. If you are stumped by a new or unfamiliar card (especially if its in non-English), ask the opponent or the judge for its effect(s). Your opponent is obliged to tell you the effect of it and the judge will be there to help you out for the confirmation of the effect and rulings. Don't be rule-sharked, EVER. If you have any doubts, ask a higher authority or even just check out the Yugioh Wikia.



2. Whenever your opponent takes move such as moving into different phases or card activations, always ask him to wait. He is obliged ask for your response (assuming you have cards to use). If he continues to defy you, you may inform the judge that he is performing fast-play. NEVER let your opponent catch you off-guard for a moment or you'll be hit in a stage where you absolutely can't do anything and its game-over.

3. Pay attention to the cards at all times. Don't ever be thrown off by some miniscule event that will give your opponent a moment to cheat. If you're lucky and you catch your opponent doing so, call the judge and accept your free win.

4. If you opponent mistook a card effect, goes through with it and would actually have a different outcome altogether, use it to your advantage. I had one time I was playing our personal tourneys and Jay activated Monster Reborn even when I had Necrovalley on the field. Our trusty Chieflion noticed right away and forced Jay to continue with the game, ruling that his Monster Reborn will have no effect. Though in other cases, if you proceed on in the game quite late and fail to notice a misinterpretation of a card, that outcome of the game can be unpredictable. Avoid that.



5. Last but not least, if the judge isn't too busy or if there are plenty of judges like in Official Konami Tournaments, ask one judge to watch over your duel at all times. If your opponent isn't a very sporting person, he will be cornered into a deadlock by the eyes of the judge, being unable to cheat or take advantage of you in any sort of way. Don't feel that you're wasting the judge's effort because its his job to dictate the rulings and watch over the tournament. Asides, they like watching a good game just about as much as anyone else right.



Be sure to note that any of these actions will help you kill time should you be in a deadlock of life points. There's more than 1 way to win.

To summarize what was said, it an be abbreviated into:

- Ask (the opponent and/or judge)
- Slow down (the opponents moves)
- Pay attention (to the cards at all times)
- Opponent's Mistake (of a certain card)
- Watch Over (with the help of the judge or spectators)






ASPOW.

Sounds pretty bad ass. I hope this advice helps you guys out if you have ever been caught in such a horrible situation. If I had to compare this with a situation of international levels, I would probably think about the FIFA World Cup match where England kicked the ball that hit the top of the football goal and cross the white line but the referees did not see it as a score. Its just a horrible feeling and thought.

To end it off, always remember to-

ASPOW THE OPPONENT! YA-HA!
