Preparing for this event Be prepared to present your COSSY ID number along with your name at registration. If you don’t have a COSSY ID number, you can receive one at registration. You will also need to fill out a Deck List registration sheet. You will fill this out by listing all of the cards included in the Deck you want to use. You can get a Deck List form at the registration area. This Deck List will be collected from right before Round 1 of the tournament, so you do not have to have it ready the moment that you register. You should bring an Advanced-Format Deck, along with any tournament supplies you will need: paper and pen to track Life Points, dice or counters if you are using cards which require them, extra sleeves to replace any that become damaged, and so forth. Players participating in these events are expected to be familiar with KONAMI’s tournament policies. These can be found in the “Gameplay” section of this website.
Preregistration You can – and you should! – pre-register at the venue, from 3:00 PM -7:00 PM on Friday. Once you are pre-registered, you are officially entered into the tournament and will not need to register again on Saturday. Save yourself a few hours of sleep on Saturday morning, and take advantage of pre-registration! You can pick up a copy of the Deck List form when you pre-register.
