Regional Tournaments are the start of the road to the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships.
These events are open to all players and are run using the Swiss pairing format,
so you can play through each round and never be eliminated. Regional Tournaments
are a great place to test your new Deck strategies and bring your play skills to
the next level! Winners of these Regional Tournaments are awarded entry into the
National Championships taking place each summer.
When preparing for a Regional Tournament make sure you have a Deck that is ready
to play in a competive sanctioned tournament. To do this first check that your Deck
complies with the current Advanced Format
Forbidden and Limited lists. Also, if you are using sleeves
be sure they are all the same color and size.
The top 8 players at each Regional Tournament, in addition to other prizes,
win this exclusive Gorz, Emissary of Darkness Playmat! Four more Gorz, Emissary of Darkness Playmats
are awarded as door prizes to Duelists at each Regional Tournament!
