Unlike other tournaments, our judges actually play and know the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. Judging of the rules will be done by 4 or more judges. Rules and or judgements set in place by them are FINAL unless more than half of the judges vote against the judge making the ruling.
Any continuous argument over a judge's ruling will result in the arguing duelist forfeiting the match (or duel) to the opposing duelist.
Rulings
All rules will be applied using the official Yu-Gi-Oh Rulebook produced by UpperDeck. Other ruling will slightly differ from the UpperDeck rulings based upon the decisions made by the judges in cooperation with the tournament hosts.
Any bad conduct or intentional illegal moves will call for an immediate disqualification after the first warning is given. Any continued bad conduct or illegal moves will result in an immediate disqualification. Continued bad conduct and illegal moves will result in being banned from all tournaments for that tournament year.
Any bad conduct outside of a duel and/or match will result in temporary suspension from any ongoing tournament(s) and possibly any tournament(s) in the future. Continued behavior will result in being banned from all tournaments for that tournament year.
