Q: What happens at a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event?
A: These are big, exciting 2-day events that take place from Saturday to Sunday. Duelists from all over will attend these events to compete for exclusive prizes; earn invites to their World Championship Qualifier; and spend the weekend Dueling, trading, and hanging out with hundreds of other Yu-Gi-Oh! fans.

Competitive or casual, there is something for everyone to do at a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series weekend event.

Q: What will I need to bring to a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series tournament?
A: You should bring a tournament-legal Deck as described above, along with any tournament supplies you will need; such as paper and pen to track Life Points, dice or counters if you are using cards which require them, extra sleeves to replace any that become damaged, and so forth. If you have a Card Game ID number, you should bring your number and barcode. 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 Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series tournament, what should I expect?
A: Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series 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 Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series, 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.
You'll have a better time at the event if you don't have too many bulky or heavy possessions to carry around, as it can get crowded there on the floor. Think ahead while you are planning what to bring with you.
When you get to the event, you will need to register in order to play. You can register on Friday from 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM, or you can register on the morning of the event. If you live in the area or arrive early enough on Friday, you should definitely register then. It will save you a lot of time the following morning.
If you need to register on the day of the event, get there early! Registration will open at 8:00 AM, and there will already be a line of people waiting. You'll need to be in line by 9:45 AM, or you will not be able to enter the tournament when it begins. We will have to start without you, to make sure the event begins on time – you'll still be able to play, but you will not be able to enter the tournament until the second round begins and you will start with a Round One Match loss.
To register, you'll need a Registration form, a form of ID, your CARD GAME ID (formerly known as COSSY ID) if you have one already, and the entry fee for the tournament. You can get a Registration form at the event, or you can get one to print at home before the tournament by clicking on this link:
https://www.yugioh-card.com/lat-am/events/forms/KDE_RegistrationSheet.pdf
Make sure your Registration form is filled out completely before you reach the registration station.
You will also need a Card Game ID card – this is the ID number used to track you in the tournament. If you don't already have one, you will be able to get one at the tournament. Look for the Card Game ID station and get a card before you try to register.
If you have a Card Game ID and have lost or forgotten it, you can ask the Card Game ID station to look it up for you. If you've played in a previous event, they may be able to retrieve your number. The Card Game ID station is kept separately from the Registration stations, so if you do not have a Card Game ID number or need it looked up, be sure to go to the Card Game ID station before getting in line to register.
Once you have a completed Registration form and a Card Game ID, you can register for the tournament.
You will also need a Deck List. A Deck List is required to participate in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series tournament. You can get a Deck List form at the event when you register, or you can download one to fill out ahead of time by clicking on this link:
https://www.yugioh-card.com/lat-am/events/forms/KDE_DeckList.pdf
This is an editable PDF, so you will be able to type the card names in this form, which should help as your Deck List needs to be legible and complete – write the name of each card in full, and write down how many copies you have in your Deck.
For some helpful tips on how to properly complete your Deck List, check out the following article on the official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Strategy Site.
https://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/?p=3534
Your Deck List will be collected at Registration. Make sure your Deck List is ready before you reach the front of the Registration line. Once a Deck list has been submitted it can no longer be changed.
Duelists are responsible for paying attention to information from judges and/or tournament staff in order 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 Guidelines by clicking the following links.
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.
Q: I will be bringing my children to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series. Is there anything I should know?
A: If your child was born in 2006 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 Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series have Yu-Gi-Oh! Very Important Players (VIPs) and how do I qualify to be one?
A: Yes! We will have VIPs at YCS Guadalajara, Mexico. To qualify as a Yu-Gi-Oh! VIP, a Duelist needs to attend and win one of several VIP Qualifier tournaments hosted by OTS before each Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series. You can find information on those qualifiers here; https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/specialevents.html. A player who wins a VIP Qualifier or a UDS Champion who brings their Championship Belt to the YCS earns the following benefits as a VIP:
Please note that all VIPs must still register on time, and be present on site during the Player Meeting. If you need to register on the day of the event, get there early! Registration will open at 8:00 AM. You'll need to be in the VIP line by 9:45 AM, or you 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: Will the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series have the Bounty Feature?
A: Yes! We will be including the Bounty Feature forthe Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series. At the start of the tournament, a certain number of Duelists will be selected and tagged with Konami lanyards. Each lanyard will bear a number, from 1 to 10. Each of these Bounty Duelists will begin the tournament with a stack of booster packs (4 packs per round) allotted to him or her. So, for a 10-round tournament, the total Bounty on each Duelist would be 40 booster packs.
At the start of each round, 4 packs will be removed from each Bounty Duelist's total, and placed in their Bounty Pile. If the Bounty Duelist wins, he or she receives 2 of the packs from the Bounty Pile, leaving the rest in the pile. If the Bounty Duelist loses, the opponent claims all of the packs in the Bounty Pile. At the end of each round, both the Bounty Duelist and the opponent must come up to the main stage so the winner can collect the packs.
The longer a Bounty Duelist goes undefeated, the more packs you can win if you beat him or her. If the Bounty Duelist goes undefeated, he or she will keep all the packs in his or her Bounty. Bounty Duelists are not eliminated by a loss. Once you've been tagged, you are a Bounty Duelist for as long as you are participating in the event. The lanyard is yours to keep.
Bounty Duelists are chosen for a variety of reasons – including past performances at events, running an innovative or exciting Deck, or maybe for wearing a really eye-catching hat. Only players who have pre-registered for the tournament will be selected as a Bounty Duelist.If you are chosen, you don't have to participate if you would rather not join in.
Q: Will there be meal breaks during the tournament?
A: There will not be any meal breaks scheduled into the tournament.
Q: What if someone who came with me does not know how to play?
A: If someone who is attending the 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 after 40 minutes?
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:

Duelists must be present for the start of the first round of each event for which they register, in order to receive the entry points. You cannot register in more than one event at a time.

Q: What is a Swiss Round Tournament?
A: Duelists are paired off based on each Duelist's win/loss record. Players are not eliminated when they lose a match during Swiss tournaments – instead, they will continue to be paired against players with similar records for all remaining rounds of the event.
Q: What is a Single-Elimination Tournament?
A: Half of the tournament is eliminated after each round – the losing player is out of the tournament, while the winner goes on to the next round. This continues until only one player remains, which is then declared the winner.
