His decklist and others from this event are below:

Decklists from YCS Indianapolis

Hi everyone.

Since the coverage site of the USA won't post the decklist of YCS Indianapolis, (I still don't know why they keep on not posting the decklists), I'm gonna put here the ones I found:

On my way to Sheffield

YCS Toronto - Deck Lists

 Since the US coverage team don't want to put the deck list on the Konami coverage site, I will put the one I got, here.

So there is some deck list of YCS Toronto.

YCS Toulouse report

Hi everyone,
I was the Assistant Head Judge for YCS Toulouse, and I liked it. I was probably chosen because I am french, and the Head Judge was not.
There were only 435 players, so it wasn't really challenging (as a judge) so I wasn't busy all the time as I expected.

Report of YCS Brighton

Statistics on Tour Guide of the Underworld from YCS Kansas City

Some Statistics from the YCS Kansas City about Tour Guide From The Underworld.

Did you know?
At YCS Kansas City, there were more than 600 players.
From the 32 players of the Top 32, if they all played 3 copies of Tour Guide From The Underworld, they would have been 96 Tour Guide in the top.
On the 32 players, 4 players ran 0 Tour Guide, 1 player ran 1 Tour Guide, and 27 players ran 3 copies of Tour Guide, so from the potencial 96 Tour Guide there were 82/96 Tour Guide.
Now let's pretend the player who had only 1 Tour Guide didn't have any.
27/32 of the top players played 3 Tour Guide, that's 84.375% of the players of the Top 32.
So statistically, if you play with 3 Tour Guide, you have 84% of chance to make it to the Top 32.

For someone who don't know how many Tour Guide worth, he could think that Tour Guide is as useful, cheap and powerful as Monster Reborn. But we all know that's not the case, everyone knows Monster Reborn is more powerful than Tour Guide, right? ;)

It is(/was) obvious now that, if you don't play Tour Guide, you won't get into the top. For the next YCS, you now know that if you don't play 3 Tour Guide, you have 15% chance to make to the Top 32.
But I'm not saying, if you have no Tour Guide, don't play at YCS, just saying that probabilities are not in your favor.
Let's hope Konami is aware of this and reprint Tour Guide as quick as possible.

Karakuri is not so bad after all

I have played Karakuri for awhile and after that I played Karakuri Machina Plants thinking it was better, and then I played Six Samurai ^^ (It was after Storm of Ragnarok was release). After Komachi 224 Ninishi was release in Extreme Victory I kept on playing Karakuri Machina Plant but not for tournaments. I was thinking "as long as nobody proves to me that Karakuri can make a apparition in a Top 16 of something, I won't play it for tournaments." So now is the time, Karakuri just lost in the Top 4 of the last YCS (YCS Kansas City) and one other lost in the Top 16.

There is the decklist of the Karakuri player who made it to Top 4:

YCS Brighton

I am selected to be a Judge for the YCS Brighton.

I applied because I don't have enough money to pay all the travel, the hotel and everything so now I just have to pay the travel and be a part of the YCS ^^
But one day, I will play at a YCS.
And maybe if I'm qualified to the European championship 2012 I will play and not judge.

And just for info, they will be 37 Judges for this YCS:
14 Judges from the UK
6 Judges from Italy
5 Judges from Germany
4 Judges from France
2 Judges from Belgium
2 Judges from Slovenia
1 Judge from Switzerland
1 Judge from Finland
1 Judge from Portugal
1 Judge from Czech Republic
