Strategic Card Gaming Club: My Self-Initiated (17 hours Service + 5 hours Creative) (Term 1, 2 and 3)

This club is mainly an extension of the Duelist Alliance (www.duelistalliance.ning.com) that we have set up and running. Many activities in ISB are for sporty people and not everyone wants to take part in a competition or do a sport in the hot sun. So, my friend Afnan and I jointly started up Strategic Card Gaming Club where we have over ten students who play Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Everyone plays Yu-Gi-Oh! in the club and so Afnan and I helped them to be more competitive by suggesting ideas and improvement for their decks so that they can attend our weekly meets where everyone in Brunei gets together and plays Yu-Gi-Oh!.

I feel that we have achieved our goal which was to expose them to Brunei's duelists and help them get more enjoyment out of the game. To make this properly happen to its fullest extent, we invited our club-members to our online Ning site and we hosted a tournament for them to debut in where they could then start to earn points and be a part of Brunei's Yu-Gi-Oh! ranking system.

Now, a few months on (April), our school duelists have taken part in numerous competitions both in and out of school in order to enjoy the experience of the game as they rank higher on the community's leader board and ranking system. In addition, I noticed that this club proves to be a nice social gatherings at lunchtimes which helps us to wind-down and enjoy ourselves for a little under an hour before going back to class for the last few hours of school.
