Dragons are looking for Battle! Will your dragons take flight and conquer the battlefield? Duelists, prepare for battle! Call forth your dragons and fight for the title of Dragon Master! The winner of the tournament will win a uniquely crafted ring with a Dragon’s head on the band. This is the Dragon Master’s ring. This is a special custom tournament where you must play a deck with only dragons. This includes the Extra deck! Due to the power level of certain cards and archetypes, the following is not allowed; 1. Branded archetype and cards (Fallen of Albaz, branded spells/traps, Branded fusion monsters and any that mention fallen of albaz) 2. Blue Eyes (Except for those who have been given special permission to play the deck) 3. Floodgate cards such as TCBOO, Synchro Zone, dragon capture jar and any cards that slow down the game. 4. Kaiju-like monster cards that tribute for cost. 5. non dragon monsters If you use a non dragon monster during a match whether it’s the hand, GY or banishment, you will forfeit the match. This will hinder your chances of winning. We will NOT be at the atrium. We will be at the Sheen Center. We do not have access to the venue until 2pm. Please arrive by 1:30pm. Plan accordingly and expect train/bus delays. once we enter the venue, we will set up and begin. Once the tournament starts, we cannot wait for you. Every member must pay $5-$10 to pay for the venue space. If you show up, you must pitch in. \*due to the limited time we have for the venue, this tournament will be double loss.

NYCYDC - Second Monthly HAT Format Tournament

Tue, Aug 25, 8:00 PM

From New York City Yugioh Dueling Club (18+)

4.9

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am excited to announce our newest closed-door HAT Format TOURNAMENT! Hat Format, also known as NAWCQ 2014 features the booster sets Dragons of Legend and Primal Origins as the last official releases. It is widely considered to be one of the most diverse formats in Yugioh’s history with over 30 viable decks. The format is truly one that is based on skill. There are strong decks, but the ultimate winner is the one who will outplay their opponent. This tournament is for CLUB MEMBERS ONLY and your price of entry is an official HAT-legal deck that you own. You will all be vying to win my Reborn Tengu Time Wizard Judge Mat (pictured above). Please note the following: Since this is my home, I must have met and approved you before you are allowed in. No guests are allowed, with the exception of regular guests who have attended more than 5 Meetups in the past 3 months. This will be a HAT only night! No Advanced format dueling! Come thirsty. Home cocktail bar will be open! Doors open at 4pm! BANLIST: Please note the Hat format Banlist can be found here: https://www.hatformat.com/banlist.html Please make sure your deck has no non-conforming cards. Review the banlist. If the card came out after the Realm of Light structure deck, it is BANNED. I will be more lenient, first strike is a WARNING, and the card will be set aside. You will not receive a replacement draw and will LOSE that card. The second strike is a GAME LOSS. Number 106: Giant Hand is BANNED. These cards were prize cards owned by only a few players and therefore were NOT widely played. There is only one exception to this rule: you own a YCSW (Yugioh Championship Series) print of this card. If you truly go that far out of your way to acquire one, I will let you run it. The tournament will be run in Master Rule 2. The rules are below: RULES: First Turn Draw. One Field Spell active at a time. If a new Field Spell is activated while one exists on board, the existing Field Spell is destroyed without starting a chain. Activating a Field Spell starts a chain. If MST is chained to the newly activated Field Spell, the existing Field Spell stays. A Field Spell set does not destroy an existing Field Spell Matches are 40 Minutes, but I might make them 50 minutes depending on player preference. NO EXTRA MONSTER ZONE Extra deck may contain Fusions, Synchros, XYZ only! Tournaments will be Swiss Rounds followed by a Single Elimination Top Cut, likely to 4 players. Finals will be best 2 of 3 or 3 of 5, depending on the finalists’ preference. Please note that there will be some new stuff for those who did not make Top Cut to get into (if interested). I’ll be putting up some more awesome Judge Prizing for all interested in participating! MASTER RULE 2 END OF MATCH PROCEDURE: I do not like Time Rules, so I prefer to have matches play out. It will be my decision on a case-by-case basis whether to institute End of Match procedure. I will give a buffer of time before we move to EOM so players will be made aware before it happens. Contrary to Advanced Format, matches are 40 minutes. When time is called, the rules will progress as follows: Current player completes turn: Play continues for an additional 5 turns. Highest life points WINS If life points are equal, the duel is a DRAW If game wins are equal, the match is a DRAW A duel begins only when a hand is drawn, not after Side-Decking or presenting your deck. Players may not intentionally DRAW
