ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT:With the success of the last tournament, the Duelist Kingdom Championships 2006 comes hot on its heels, offering more challenges, more surprises, and, most importantly, more fun than the Championships held last year. I wish to personally thank each and every duelist for attending this event and making it the success that inspired this one. I also wish to thank the Official Tournament Organizer for the event, Anil Singh, for whom none of this would have been possible, as well as the staff at the University of the West Indies for opening their doors back then, and once again for what promises to be another great tournament.
The tournament is basically structured in the same way as the traditional tournaments held in Trinidad- a five round format in which the final 8 duelists are decided, upon which an elimination format takes place to reduce that number to one, who will emerge the champion. However, aside from that, it is structured as a 'Earn as you Progress' tournament- meaning that there are lots of opportunities for duelists to grab prizes even if they are
not victorious in the end. In light of people making it to the final eight only to walk away empty handed, fear NOT. You will walk away with something for your troubles. And, of course, the finalists will receive the biggest and best prizes for their efforts- and the champion himself will face off against the Tournament Master and his Toon Deck (in true Duelist Kingdom tradition) for even
more prizes!
But, basically, what this tournament stands for is the thrill of competition, and, basically, people having fun.
Here's to hoping that, like the last, this one would be a success.
While I'm at it, here's to hoping that it's even
more of a success than the last!
F.A.Q. (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)"What is a 'Special Challenge'?"In the round robin format, each duelist will try to get the most wins in the five matches that they are placed. However, in each of this matches, the Tournament Master will announce a 'Special Challenge', that is,
some feat the duelists can attempt to accomplish to win a special prize. For example, I can say 'First Match Victory wins!', and whoever can get his match victory before everybody else is awarded a prize.
There are five rounds, which means that there are FIVE SPECIAL CHALLENGES TO BE WON."I can't wait until the end of the tournament to receive my prize! Can't I get it now?"Yes. There isn't going to be any awkward award ceremony this time (save for the winner of the tournament, but it will be very brief), so anybody who wins a prize gets awarded on the spot.
"What can I do to ensure that my cards are safe?"Two things. One, you can leave it with the Tournament Master or the Organiser (that would be myself or Anil Singh), and we'll watch it until you get back. (Just don't abuse this, though, we've got a tournament to run!
) Or, you can
keep a close eye on them, and
guard them all of the time. While we're pulling out all of the stops to ensure your safety, we must insist that duelists do their part to secure their belongings.
THE STAFF AND MANAGEMENT OF THE DUELIST KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIPS CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOST, STOLEN OR MISPLACED BELONGINGS."Hey! This guy's nuts! This card doesn't do THAT!!"That's what Anil and I are here for. We are both Level 1 Upperdeck Judges, and, if you need help in deliberating rulings, call on either of us (though I personally recommend Anil for his higher experience).
