New YGO! OP for Kids
Wednesday November 12, 2008
Konami and Upper Deck are launching a new Yu-Gi-Oh! organized play program,
the Dragon Duel League, behind the new Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s TV show and licensing
stream. The new program offers a variety of events for players of varying skill
levels, tailored to kids 12 and under.
Dragon Duel Challenges, for beginners, will feature only three rounds and will
take three hours or less. Dragon Duel Series events will feature more rounds,
with a winner from each event crowned a Dragon Duel Champion. The program will
also allow players to work their way up to Dragon Duel Regional Qualifiers and
the Dragon Duel National Championship, which will have the same prizes as the
existing National Championship for players 13 and older.
The first Dragon Duel event will be held at the Shonen Jump Championship in
Chicago, on November 15-16.
