If you have a CARD GAME ID number, you should bring your number. You should bring a form of personal identification with a picture. You’ll also need the entry fee for the tournament, as well as money for your incidentals (food, drinks, Public Events, etc.).
Q: If I’ve never been to a TEAM YCS tournament, what should I expect? A: TEAM YCS are among the biggest of all Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments and attract Duelists of all ages and skill levels. Many Duelists travel great distances to attend the TEAM YCS, so you can expect to meet hundreds of fellow Yu-Gi-Oh! fans from all over. There are a lot of things you should do to make sure you are prepared before heading to the tournament. Read over the list of things you will need for the tournament, and make sure you have everything. Duelists are responsible for paying attention to information from judges and/or tournament staff to understand what is going on. If Duelists have questions about the event either beforehand or while they are there, they should check with the Event Manager. Before heading to the event, all Duelists should read over the KDE-US Tournament Policy and Penalty Guidelines carefully. These documents tell you what you can and cannot do at an event and give you a good idea of what to expect. You may find these Documents using the following links. Tournament Policy: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/downloads/penalty_guide/YGOTCG_Policy_v_2_3.pdf Penalty Guidelines: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/downloads/penalty_guide/Penalty_Guidelines_v_2_2.pdf Remember, there is much more to do at a YCS than just compete in the main tournament. There are lots of Public Events, vendors buying and selling cards, and other Duelists to trade with. Read over the FAQ carefully, and you’ll be off to a great start. Public Events will be available as space opens from the main event. If the YCS has reached capacity, there is not a guarantee that any specific public event will be available as events will only start as space becomes available. If the venue reaches capacity, additional Duelists will not be allowed to enter the hall.

A: Yes by entering the premise of this event you agree to the following: When you enter a Yu-Gi-Oh! event or program, you are entering an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur. By entering the event premises, you consent to photography, audio recording, interviews, video recording and its/their release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction to be used for promotional purposes, webcasts, telecasts, advertising, inclusion on websites, social media, or any other purpose by KONAMI, its affiliates and representatives.

Q: I will be bringing my children to the TEAM YCS – Las Vegas, NV. Is there anything I should know? A: If your child was born in 2011 or later, there is a special tournament each day just for this age group, called a Dragon Duel. You can find more information about Dragon Duels in the Public Events section of this FAQ. We will have a Parents’ Area available, where parents can relax while their children are occupied in the tournament. This area is open only to parents and their children. You are not required to stay on site, but we strongly recommend that you do, especially if your children are young or this is their first event. Please know that the tournament staff cannot be responsible for looking after your children, or their possessions. Always make sure your child has a way to contact you, and is provided with any necessities such as food, drink, or extra money if you do not wish to remain in the tournament area. When your child is preparing for the event, encourage him or her to leave any bulky or expensive possessions at home. Electronics and large collections of cards are hard to keep track of during a big tournament – your child will have a much easier day without having to worry about these kinds of items. Trading cards is a big attraction at large tournaments, but if you are concerned about your child trading away valuable cards, talk to him or her before the event and set some guidelines. You can always have your child check with you before making a trade.
Q: Will the TEAM YCS have Yu-Gi-Oh! Very Important Players (VIPs) and how do teams qualify to be one? A: Yes! We will have VIPs at the TEAM YCS Las Vegas, NV. To qualify as a Yu-Gi-Oh! VIP, Duelists are encouraged to form their teams and attend one of several VIP Qualifier tournaments hosted by select OTS before the TEAM YCS. You can find information on those qualifiers here: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/specialevents.html. The same three (3) team members who play and qualify at a VIP Qualifier must play as a team at the TEAM YCS. There can be no swapping of team members at the TEAM YCS. A team who wins a TEAM YCS VIP Qualifier or a team that includes at least 1 UDS Invitational Champion who brings their Championship Belt to the YCS earns the following benefits as a VIP:
*In order to be eligible for any pre-registration items, VIP teams must register online. If an item requires a Deck List to be submitted at the time of registration in order for it to be awarded, the VIP team must submit a valid Deck List while registering to be eligible. Please note that all VIP Teams must still register online, check-in, and be present on site during the Duelist Meeting. All team members must be registered before the start of Round 1, or your team will not be able to enter the tournament when Round 3 begins. We will have to start Round 3 without you for tardiness – you’ll still be able to play, but you will not be able to enter the tournament until the fourth Round begins and you will start with a Round 3 Match loss for not registering on time.
Q: How does VIP Status work at the TEAM YCS? A: A team can obtain VIP Status for this event either by winning a TEAM YCS VIP Qualifier or by having at least one (1) UDS Champion in the team. A VIP Team will enjoy some of the benefits of having VIP Status (specifically, the 2-Round Bye and static seating). If a team has VIP status because one of its members is a UDS Invitational Champion, only the VIP player will receive FREE entry into the event. All non-VIP team members will still have to register as normal. There will be a designated VIP Area and the team will receive a 2-Round Bye.
Q: Will the TEAM YCS – Las Vegas, NV have the Bounty Feature? A: Yes! We will be including the Bounty Feature for the TEAM YCS. At the start of the tournament, a certain number of Teams will be selected and tagged with KONAMI Bounty Badges. Each badge will have the Date and Name of the Event. Each of these Bounty Teams will begin the tournament with a stack of tournament packs (12 packs per Round) allotted to all team members. So, for a 10-Round tournament, the total Bounty on each Team would be 120 tournament packs. At the start of each Round, 12 packs will be removed from each Bounty Team’s total and placed in their Bounty Pile. If the Bounty Team wins, each team member receives 2 of the packs from the Bounty Pile, leaving the rest in the pile. If the Bounty Team loses, the opponents claim all of the packs in the Bounty Pile. At the end of each Round, both the Bounty Team and the opponent team must come up to the main stage so the winners can collect the packs. The longer a Bounty Team goes undefeated, the more packs your team can win if you beat them. If the Bounty Team goes undefeated, they will keep all the packs in their Bounty. Bounty Teams are not eliminated by a loss. Once a team has been tagged, they become a Bounty Team for as long as they participate in the event. The lanyard is theirs to keep. Bounty Teams are chosen for a variety of reasons – including past performances at events of at least one of their members, running an innovative or exciting Deck, or maybe for wearing a really eye-catching hat. Only teams who have registered online for the tournament and checked in on Friday will be selected as a Bounty Duelist. If your team is chosen, you don’t have to participate if you would rather not join in.
Q: Will there be meal breaks during the tournament? A: Since there will be food concession vendors available in the event hall, there will be no meal breaks.
Q: What if someone who came with me does not know how to play? A: If someone who is attending the TEAM YCS that does not know how to play Yu-Gi-Oh!, do not worry. We will have capable volunteers on site who will be more than happy to teach them how to play.
Q: What happens if I am not done with my Match when time is called in the Round? A: Sometimes a Match will not be finished when the time ends for a Round. If this happens, it is both Duelists’ responsibility to note whose turn it is when time is called. Duelists who require assistance with the End of Match procedures, should raise their hand and call for a Judge. The Judge should be notified that the Match is ongoing and whose turn it is. The judge may or may not stay to supervise the End of Match procedure but should ensure that both Duelists understand the following procedures. End of Match procedures should follow these three (3) rules: Rule #1: If time is called while Duelists are in the middle of a Game, the current Game must have a decision (Win, Loss, or Draw) Rule #2: Once the current Game has concluded with a decision, determine the winner of the Match by determining the number of Game Wins (or Game Losses) each Duelist has for the current Match. The Duelist with the most Game Wins will win the Match. Swiss Rounds: If both Duelists have the same number of Game Wins, or if time was called in between games of a Match when both Duelists had the same number of Game Wins, then the Match is a Draw. Single-Elimination Rounds: If both Duelists have the same number of Game Wins, or if time is called in between Games of a Match while both Duelists have the same number of Game Wins, they will begin a new Duel with specific guidelines.
Rule #3: If a win condition occurs during End of Match Procedures, that Duelist wins the current Game. Keeping these three (3) rules in mind, please follow these instructions when proceeding to End of Match procedures:
Match Draws cannot occur during Single-Elimination Rounds.

TRADING CARD GAME product releases, prior to preparing your Deck for the event. Advanced Format tournaments use a specific list of playable cards. Some cards are forbidden from use, or limited to a set number in the Deck, in order to better balance tournament play. Duelists can view the most current Advanced Format card list by visiting this link: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/limited/ Constructed Decks for Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournaments must meet specific guidelines for use in the event. Duelists must ensure that their Decks meet these requirements before entering an event. A Duelist’s Deck includes their Main Deck and may include a Side Deck and/or an Extra Deck. A Duelist may not have more than three copies of any card included in their Main Deck, Side Deck, and Extra Deck combined. Cards that have been altered from their original appearance with surface decoration may be used for play only if the alterations do not obscure any portion of the card text, make the illustration difficult to recognize, or make the card distinguishable from other cards in the Deck while it is face-down. If a card’s surface decoration renders the card unrecognizable at first glance, then the card is not allowed for tournament play. The Head Judge of the event has final arbitration on whether or not altered cards may be used at the tournament. Duelists are responsible for determining whether or not their altered cards are acceptable for use before the start of the tournament.
Q: Can I use OCG cards (cards printed for use in Japan and other Asian territories) in my Deck? A: No, cards printed for Asian markets are not legal for play in TCG tournaments, even if you have a translation available.
Q: Can I use foreign language cards in my Deck? A: You may use foreign-language copies of legal-for-play cards printed for the TCG market, as long as you can show an official translation of the card when asked to do so by an opponent or tournament official.
