Tests

Hey maybe instead of doing a written exam only for the Dorm Testing there could also be a practical exam where the student duels a member of the staff.

That would be some kind of WAY easier for some slifer red students. Beside high dorm but no knowledge makes nothing. Still this is a good idea.

You do know how most of other smaller academies do it don't you? Like, they have "testers" who test newcomers in duels and then grade them to which dorm they belong. Yeah well, that system was first started here in DA because we are the first academy created. Then we grow big and we needed a pro system for testing. Now, it is much harder and easier for us to handle. This way when someone says I am Obelisk Blue in DA, that means a lot right now :D

What Amy said.

When we, DA, forst introduced testing systems like you want to have them, every other academy soon started to copy it.

After we had an abundance of new members which couldn't possibly have been tested by our testers, we created the current system which is so far unique in the world of online YGO! forums.
And we'll keep that system.
