Tournament Point Ranking (TP Ranking for short) is a completely new system of rankings where Duelists fight for the top spot by collecting points by taking part in various Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE events.
The calendar year will be divided into 4 seasons and your Ranking will be worked out based on your performance over the course of each season.
