Yu-Gi-Oh! Regionals



Regional Tournaments are the beginning 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! The top players 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 competitive sanctioned tournament. To do this first check that your Deck complies with the current Advanced Format Forbidden and Limited lists

If you are using sleeves be sure they are all the same color and size.

Are you going to post deck lists?

[Jared_Sylva]

Due to the low turnout, we decided not to post decklists.

I really wanted to see what topped. How many people got invites and will there be another WV regional?

[Jared_Sylva]

Four people earned their invitations to Nationals. Future Regionals in West Virginia will be determined by Konami. If you are interested in having a Regionals in your area, encourage your local Konami approved store to apply for a Regional during the next season.
