< How it works >

During the Preliminaries Phase, 16 Preliminary Tournaments will be held with the winner of each one winning a place in the Final Tournament as a "QUALIFIER".
  1. The Entry Draw will take place 10 minutes after Lobbies open.
  2. If a Player has made an Entry Reservation, but fails to show up at the time when the Entry Draw starts, his/her place will be put in to the Draw. This means that a Player with no Reservation may be Entered into the Tournament if he/she is in the Lobby at that time.
< Entry Criteria >

Players whose number of total Duels are 250 or more.

< How to take part >

To enter a Preliminary Tournament, please make a reservation via the Official Homepage. If you fit the entry criteria and there are still places available when you enter the lobby, you may be able to take part by being chosen in an Entry Draw.
* The set criteria are that you have completed 250 or more Duels and that you have 10 or more DUELPASS points left.
There are two ways to enter the Preliminary Tournaments. You can either make a reservation via the web, or be chosen in a tournament day draw.

< Preliminary Tournaments >
  1. All Duels in the Preliminary Tournaments will be Single Duels.
  2. Each Preliminary Tournament will consist of 512 players.
  3. Players can either reserve a place in the Preliminary Tournaments via web in advance, or enter a draw on tournament day itself to obtain a place. Those who reserved a place in advance will be given precedence over players who enter the draw. A player can make one reservation per Preliminary Tournament. Once the ongoing Preliminary Tournament finishes, entry reservations can be made for the next one.
    Reservations will be taken on a first come first served basis.
  4. Duels in the Preliminary Tournaments will cost 1 DUELPASS point like any other Duel and players will draw cards from normal packs
  5. To enter the tournament, players must have a minimum of 10 DUELPASS points left at the time when Preliminary Tournaments begin.
  6. Players who win in their group and make it to the Final Round will be given the title of "QUALIFIER".
  7. Only players who have completed a minimum of 250 Duels can enter the event.
  8. Although players are limited to 1 entry reservation per group, they can enter for multiple Preliminary Tournaments.
