That was my performance for the event. I received a small prize, but it didn't quite cover the cost of entry. Hopefully my performance tomorrow is substantially better. Now a quick run-down of my matches, even though the details have faded considerably. I had planned on writing this sooner...

Apparently there were many artifacts and a critical mistake involved...
