Jake had a great time at his Yu Gi Oh tournament. I was really worried about it, because (1) I didn't know how he would deal with losing; and (2) I didn't know how well he would do.
He lost his first round pairing to a 17 year old kid in a tiebreaker round. He lost the first duel, won the second, and barely lost the tiebreaker. The whole tournament had to stop because Jake's round took much longer than the others, and they had to wait for a winner. The fact that it took a long time was attributable to the closeness of the duels, not Jake's age or relative inexperience.
Jake lost his second round fairly quickly to a 16 year old who had a deck Jake hadn't seen before.
He was in very good spirits, and had no problem losing. He was also a good winner in the duel he won. It was neat to see him talking about Yu Gi Oh issues with the older players.
It looks like we'll be doing this every Saturday afternoon. He's now officially registered in the national ranking system.
That's Jake in the yellow shirt.
We're going to a Romanian restaurant this evening ("Transylvania"), so that should be fun.
