Tournament Ideas

First topic message reminder :

Ok as promised..
Here you can suggest a tournamnet idea which you think is good..but keep the followin points into consideration.
1- Check DA previous tournaments...We may have hosted it before.
2- Check ideas suggested before.
3- Make it reasonable please and don't just throw an idea based on banning decks.

What'll you get ?!
Proper Credits and 300 DP prize.

i no this has been thought about already but i was thinking about making a anime tournament since the new series yugioh zexal came out that gives loads of new characters to fill, and i know that alot of characters from the show dont have enought cards to fill a deck so i was thinking that when making the deck for the character you would have to use his monsters and his traps but the spells you could choose yourself.4000lp duel 2/3 ofcourse and a list of characters which people could choose from.i can give more detail on how to do the tournament if any one is intrested in my idea ive been thinkin about this for some time know i hope you like it..

Just an idea I had for DA:


1-
No limit to the number of members who can join the event, however there might
be people who will not be accepted.
2- The organizer of the event will make a hamachi network for people to join.
3- Everyone will have some amount of stars
4- Ensure you have the amount of stars listed in your Hamachi name at all
times.
5- You can duel the same person up to how many times he accept of course.
6- You must duel at least three times every two
days, failure to do so results in disqualification.
7- The duels are single duels.
8- You can use one banned card in your main
deck. When you win against your opponent you will get his/her banned card so
he/she won’t use it again! Then you are allowed to use his/her banned card but you
can't use 2 banned cards in one deck. Just place it in your side deck.
9- Who ever break the rules it will cost him halve
his/her stars!
10- Deck
changing is ALLOWED!.
11- You
can wager maximum halve your stars!!

Now as for the deck rules or restricted decks: Burn, Stall, FTK, OTK ( like Fish OTK, Quasar Turbo ), Exodia and Mill.

Copy-Cat Tournament

Simple, flip a coin whoever calls it wins the coin toss. The loser of the coin toss must then Copy the winners decklist and duel him with his own deck. I think this provides the skill of a duelist seeing as they have the same cards. Whoever wins moves onto the next round where this continues throughout.

Lets have a Old School Tournament with any cards behind the gx series.
the format could be either this recent format, some past format, or traditional

How about a tournament where in each duel there will be a specific field spell in play which will give aditional rullings to the current duel just like World Duel Carnival in Yugioh Zexal...!!!

Here's an idea. Make it an open invitation tournament but with a twist. You won't be using your own decks. We could have the deck shops owners collaborate and make about 20 different semi competitive decks( avoiding the rape train meta decks as much as possible) then the decklists can be sent to the host. The host will then randomize the decklists and give each deck a number. When each participants applies to play in the tourney they will a give a number between 1-20. Once the application is submitted and accepted the host will then mail the decklist with the corresponding number to the participant ON THE DAY OF THEIR MATCH(to avoid cheating). Multiple people CAN be using the same deck. Whaddya think?

Here is my suggestion. First of all I think there should be more tournaments in which you are using your own deck. For example:
-Yu-Gi-Oh! Spring Challenge
-Yu-Gi-Oh! Summer Challenge
-Yu-Gi-Oh! Fall Challenge
-Yu-Gi-Oh! Winter Challenge

Difference between each of these tournament is cca. 3months which is enough to finish it in given time.
Most of us dueling in advanced rated games where we are testing our decks and these kind of tournamenst are perfect to face it with best of the best. Just like in RL, and we can even make famous someone and then new members will come to this site to try do same. Like it is said in heading. "BECAME A PR0" This tournemnt are better and more usable because it is little stupid to organize tournemnt where you can use only specefici cards and probably after that tour you will never use it again. There is no point of such tournemnts.
Another suggestion is: Yugioh Nationals
For example: Every dorm is like one nation, and there is seperate tournament for every nation (dorm).
First 3. places from each dorm are qualified to Regionals, and this is how we can connect these two tournaments.

i like friskys idea im up for this exactly like a rental deck duel

Byond free for all tourny.the members are divided in group of 4 and they all duel att the same time and they advance throu sub group until only 4 members reminds. then they go on a last free for all duel. the rules are implemented on the tourny and if possible send one judge to each match in order to clarify interpretation problems (as if mirror force affect the attacking opponent moonster or all the opponents). i feel making use of other dueling system would make this place more colorful in my opinion. especially those who can use tag duel and free for all duel

DMG YES

What about a tourney where you must build your deck around a number X/Z assigned to the person. If you win a duel without summoning it, it doesn't count. Only that one card is predetermined. Everything else must be triple sets, besides one other Extra Deck monster, which goes in twice.

For example, say the host assigned me with Number 39: Utopia.

My decklist would start like this.

Monsters: (39)
etc.

Spells: (15)

Traps: (15)

Extra Deck: (15)
1x Number 39: Utopia
etc.

No side deck.

I like the idea of a universal "multi-team" tournament. I call this the "Social Cup".

Setup:
-There are 4 teams, each with 8 players.
-Each team member selects their starting deck, and sends in a Deck List.
-After a Leader is decided, all other players in the team use Leader's deck list.

First Selection Round:
-Each team will undergo a Single Elimination round within the team, the winner being the Leader.
-The Leader will then send a copy of his/her Deck List to all team mates, who will use this Deck List for the remainder of the Tournament.

Second Selection Round:
-All 4 Team Leaders will duel in a Double Elimination round, the overall Winner being declared Grand Champion.
-The non-Leaders will duel in a Single Elimination round, the overall Winner being declared Champion.

WINNING:
Grand Champion: The winning Team Leader in the Second Selection Round.
The Grand Champion receives a large prize.
Champion: The winning non-Team Leader in the Second Selection Round.
The entire team in which the Champion belongs to receives a prize.

Just an idea of course, and a rough draft at most.

i haz genius idea e.e

how bout a tournament from a different format D:

like goat format for example, we use cards only released then and it must be in the banlist

Yeah but what if u didnt play yugioh during that format. :D

ive played yugimonz for 3 formats (past 2 and this one) idk the format either, but it sounds like fun

Was a tournament like how was in first series with Yugi and Pegasus?

My idea is Gadget Master tournament.
Players can only play gadget decks (as long as it has 6+ gadgets in deck).
What do you say ?

It's not a bad idea Alhemičar; however, Gadgets have a standard build, means everyone will end up playing the same deck using the same build, it's not that cool.

If you have more ideas please share them with us.

The Random Anime Full Theme Deathmatch.

We pick decks from characters of a recent Yu Gi Oh Game, tweak them a little bit to modernize them (but keeping the essence, as in, no splashing a random Rabbit or big eye or dracossack unless the theme makes sense to have it) and then we randomly assign them to the players. We randomize the list of competitors and have fun watching "character decks" play.

Seen those ungodly difficult combos done in the Anime? let's level the field so everyone play decks with those kind of combos and themes and see how they fare. At the very least it won't be edragons vs edragons all day.

My idea is the next:

Higlander Tag Tournament

It's a tag tournament where each player can have between 40-44 card per deck with only 1 copy of each card in the game per deck. So there will be 40 unique cards in each players deck. 16000 LP. Maximum 15 limited/semilimited cards per deck. No FTK Exodia Burn. Maximum 3 monsters that cannot be destroyed by battle per deck (ex. marshmallon). Personally tested this mode and it was more that satisfactory. Hope we'll see tag tournaments on this forum. I just love tag duels.

@Heatnix: You can do better, the idea isn't bad, but it won't work in this place.

@DennyKing23: We hosted something similar in the past, i'll bring the discussion to the staff members and they'll decide, thanks for your effort.

How about a tournament where each participant is assigned a high-level boss monster. Now, that boss monster won't be something like Machina Fortress or Dracossack or anything like that. No, the boss monster will be something that is:
a) Not part of an archetype

b) Underused/Rarely thought of (No BLS!)

c) An effect monster

It is the participant's job to create a deck around that 1 card. Now, the deck list would have to be submitted to the tournament host to make sure that the deck isn't just the 1 card along with a bunch of Rai-Oh's, Tour Guides, Veilers, Gorz, etc. etc. etc. The deck would have to be based around that 1 card.

It could also be an option here for someone to choose a card (that follows the rules I gave above). Now, the choices would have to be approved by the host, of course.

Finally, everyone would be given/select a different monster.

I don't know if something like this would work, but it'd be a ton of fun, and a nice break from the usual E-Drags and Prophecies that we all see all the time.

How about a tourney with complex stages?

My thoughts:

To begin everyone who enters is put into stage 1 each with 5 Tokens. You duel each other to gain tokens and to get to the next stage. But there's a twist and option to bank or to stay by banking you have to take part in the 2nd stage as per usual but by staying you can gain more tokens to get to further stages. However, this becomes increasingly hard the more you go up. In addition you can only duel people in your stage. Oh, and when you run out of tokens YOUR OUT!

Stages

Stage 1
The First stage, you are given 5 tokens.

Stage 2
The Second stage, you have qualify from Stage 1 10 tokens

Stage 3
The Third stage, you have to qualify from Stage 1 with 15 tokens or from Stage 2 with 20 tokens

Stage 4
The Fourth stage, you have to qualify from Stage 1 with 25 tokens or from Stage 2 with 30 tokens
and from stage 3 with 40

Stage 5
The Final 'Stage', you have to qualify from stage 4 with 70 tokens


If you qualify from stage 5 you then enter a knockout tourney
( Uneven numbers a fixed by best of 2 duels )
Eg: If 17 qualified the last 2 that qualified would face off
and If 18 qualified the that qualified would face off.

You'll need a whole dang lot of people to pass that kind of tournament. The players who actually play are going to be busy hunting for players in the higher stages though. Revamp the amount of stages.

Alright, here's a variation on one that's probably been done before:

Players can only include 3 effect Monsters in their initial deck submission, and may have no cards that specifically target normal monsters with their effects. This applies to their extra deck as well. Whenever they win a match, they may look at their opponent's deck, select 1 effect Monster from their opponent, and add it to their own deck (Swapping it for another card if they have room).

It's worth noting that the above rules mean that you can't make a Normal Monster themed deck here, since you can't have Normal Monster Support cards.

I don't know, maybe it's worth doing.

The old Level Tournament;

Only monster from level 3 or below
ATK 1000 or lower
No ojama's or battery
NO FTK, Exodia or Burn
Atleast 15 monsters

Something like that could be fun

Not sure if it's already been suggested, but how about a World Cup Tournament?

It'd be done similar to the Hopman Cup in tennis, as in we'd have four different groups, each with the same amount of members. So the teams could be:

- USA
- UK
- Rest Of Europe
- Rest Of The World

Then you could have a mixture of tournament contests take place (Singles Match, Tag Team Match, Deck Construction Match, Random Deck Type Match etc.). Players would get let's say 1 Points for a Loss and 2 Point for a Win (done in round robin format). After a certain number of days, the group that has the most amount of points wins the World Cup.

What do you guys think?

I want to see a Crazy Box tournament. =3

Rule =

Normal banlist
Must summon and activate the effect of Number 85: Crazy Box before winning a duel. If you reach a "win condition" before that condition is met, you lose the duel.

Who wants to step into the Crazy Box?

This, I can agree with. But ban wind-ups. ._.
