Asia tourney report: went there to scrub,LOL.should be putting my gladiator beast deck aside after this and will be playing other decks in the mean time.the following will be my thought on the major tournament for this year end.

Played with Darren on the first round, an exciting match i would say.but that's not the main point of it,before the match starts,i looked around and saw so many familiar faces got paired up with so many other familiar faces. didnt really think about it until i started to feel abit odd how come on the second and third round,so many familiar faces got paired up with so many other familiar faces again. at one point in time,i saw Baha playing with Jess,which really bewildered me.

Also,many were lamenting about not holding top 16 and only the top 8 were called up to play for the finals.reason being that there is a lack of time.i believe many of the finalist were all young adults and hence would not mind going home late since there are already in the finals( who would mind if you are in the finals anyway?),hence even if the match carried on till 10pm will not be a problem to them.you may say that the university does not allow the event to be held until such a late time,however shouldn't there be any emergency plans thought beforehand should these situations or predicaments arise?

the venue where the event was held was simply too small.as a result two waves were made for each round.having a venue with ample space is important for such event as it would aid in the flow of the event and it was so packed(as we were somewhat all confined in the little area) that it is difficult to go into and out of the area before and after our games.having a spacious environment for us to play is important,because only then do we not need two waves per round and also make the event look more grand and prestigious,after all,this is the Asia Championship that we are talking about!

ruling queries are rampant in all tournaments,be it small or grand events.hence all judges should be fully aware of the rulings of all,if not most or at least those commonly played cards.briefings or lessons that aimed to equip all judges with more knowlede regarding controversia rulings should be conducted.so that time will not be wasted when one judge had to consult another.yes,it is undeniable that there will always be ruling disputes in all tournaments.however,shouldn't the judge cross-reference with reliable resources before making their desicions?as one wrong ruling would mean the end for a duelist.

though we all will encounter endless problems and huddles ahead,we must have that mindset that improvements must be made when there is a need to.being stagnant and isolate ourselves in our own utopia will only hold us back while the rest of the world move on.let us not forget that we are all duelists,that share the same interest,play the same game and speak of the same lingo.after all,we all have one dream,live it!
