To get ahead in the line, and so we wouldn't have to wait 6+ Hours for Premium Pack 13s, I joined the Yugioh club from a University, which was hosting their own tournament.
The tournament started at 11PM and ended at 4AM.
5th Annual Gruez Waseda Championship! (GWCS)
The Prize Pool:
1st Place: 1 Box of Hidden Arsenal 1, 1 Box of Hidden Arsenal 2, Pre-Searched packs: 1X LODT, 1X TREV. (Not mentioned: 3 Warrior of Mist Valley 1st Edition.)
2nd Place: 1 Kizan, 1 1st Edition Ultra Solemn Warning, 1 Natural Palkion, 1 Krystia, 1 Elemental Hero Gaia(DT Normal Rare), A fat stack of pre-searched Packs
3rd Place: 1 Five God Dragon, 1 Super Polymerization, 1 Krystia, 1 The Tricky(DT Normal rare), more pre-searched Packs
4th Place, 5th Place: Some pre-searched Packs
6th Place: Limited edition Chopper Keychain, 10 Tournament Packs
7th through 9th Place: Limited Edition Chopper drink Glasses.
(Actually the Chopper Drink Glasses are worth around 1500 yen e/a, so they worst prizes are actually 4th and 5th place.)
Also a rather random picture of Chopper.
Results:
1st: Six Samurai
2nd: BF
3rd: Debris
4th: BF
5th: Six Samurai
6h, 7th, 8th, 9th: Hero Beat, Hero Beat, Gladiator Beast, Six Samurai
I was actually also invited to another tournament at the same time, but already promised to join this one. I met the guys from the other tournament in the line on Saturday, though.
Their results were:
1st: Six Samurai
2nd: Debris
3rd: Debris
4th: Debris.
6 people in their tournament.
I believe all(or all but one) of them were from Tokyo Business Technology University... Or however that translates to in English.
Around 430AM we left and headed for the event location.
Although we were quite far behind in the line, we were in the 18th batch of about 75-100 people per batch.
Which is, as one of the people I was with put it, VERY good for someone who spent the night with a roof over their heads and had food with them, as opposed to spending the night in the freezing cold without food(or toilet!)
But also because we let 20ish people go ahead of us. We were waiting for the other group of friends I mentioned just now.
After waiting in line for about 1 hour(Playing MH), we moved inside, where we were put in more groups(which is where I found out which batch we were in)
On the way back there were too many people taking pictures of this...
Yeah... Lots of people
A closeup of what people do in line: Stay warm. Play Yugioh, Play Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, make trades, play more Monster Hunter.
Not pictured: Sleep
Actually in line we were playing some MH. All 32 Guild Halls were FULL, so we had to change channel to find a hall to use O.O
But my Berio S armor is still better than most peoples we saw :3

The "official guide book"
After waiting in line until about 8AM, they let us in!
Its so much easier waiting with friends, because you can just spend the time chatting/opening the 2 boxes of Hidden Arsenal.
There was a guy our age sitting near us who was alone, so we talked to him and made new friends.
PP13 GETS!
We headed over to the Yugioh section.
For the 1V1 section, Every time you lose, you have to leave, and you get 1 free Jump Festa pack.
If you win, you stay on.
If you get 3 wins IN A ROW, you leave as well, and receive 5 Jump Festa packs.
The tournament entry card
Waiting in line is a thousand times better with friends.
And the win/loss stamp is a SCAPEGOAT!
Awwwwwwwwww
I felt this deserved mentioning...For Duel Terminal(nothing special with it as well), just to play
There was a 75 Minute wait.
After all of us came out(some of us with 3 wins, some with just 1 loss, etc), we waited for the other club members that didnt join the earlier tournament, and we decided to go for the team tournament.
The main reason was the wait was 30 minutes to get in, as opposed to 2 hours for the single, but also because we were meeting up with some other club members who did not join us for the all night tournament.
A few more club members from the Tokyo Buisness Technology University also met up with us.
In the team tournament, each player plays a duel. Out of the 3 players, the team who got 2 wins gets a team win.
2 team wins in a row means the team leaves, with 3 packs per person.
We actually had, between the two clubs + 1 Extra random, about 21 people, all going for the team tournament, so 7 teams.
We also mixed up members of the clubs so people would make new friends, and to make sure that the teams were balanced and strong(most of the members agreed to pool the winning packs, then distribute so everyone had an equal number)
That being said I knew both the people I teamed up with from Konami Card Game Center free match sessions, both from the Business Tech school.
My teammates were Debris Control(3 weeks+ straight 10+ Win streak/Japan Top 8 guy at Konami CGC), and Hero Beat(also a regular at Konami CGC with a lot of wins(not too sure whether he gets 10+ win streaks often, but still.))
So our team was Debris Beat on the left, Hero Beat(me) in the middle, and Hero Beat on the right.
Actually, according to the free match rules and the rules for that day, teams/people were NOT allowed to duel: 1) Their friends, and 2) People they had already dueled that day.
So when the 21 of us lined up together, there were 7 teams in a row, none of which were allowed to play against each other, which caused a LOT of problems for the staff(and space) when there were 3 tables that opened up(the winning team got 2 wins in a row).
Another interesting use of this is when the opponents-to-be recognized us from Konami CGC.
They were like "Judge, we've played these people just now", just to get out of playing us.
Guess they didn't like the idea of playing against a team consisting of THE people who notoriously go 10ish wins in a row every Thursday.
As for the people who DID play against us, we won all of our team games. We as a team went 8 wins in a row. I believe my personal record was 6-2. My teammates went 7-1. Both of them.
At around 3 I had to head off, so to honor our deal about having everyone have equal winnings of packs, I passed 2 to my friends, and headed off. My total winnings was actually 17 packs, but I ended up with 15 only.
The others, who stayed until the end of the day(another 3 hours), left with 18 each.

Thats all for today.
