\n| \n \n \n \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A activates Call of the Haunted<\/strong>. He may target a Monster Card in his teammate\u2019s Graveyard.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 2A has 2 different \u201cLightsworn\u201d Monsters in his Graveyard. His teammate has 2 \u201cLightsworn\u201d Monsters that are different than Duelist 2A. Either player (on their turn) is able to Special Summon Judgment Dragon<\/strong> as both players have 4 different \u201cLightsworn\u201d Monsters.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has 1 LIGHT Monster in his Graveyard. Duelist 1B has 1 DARK Monster in her Graveyard. Either player (on their turn) may Banish both of the Monsters to Special Summon Chaos Sorcerer<\/strong>.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has 2 DARK Monsters in her Graveyard. Her teammate also has 2 DARK Monster in his Graveyard. Neither Duelist can Special Summon Dark Armed Dragon<\/strong> as combined, both players have more than 3 DARK Monsters.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- The Team has a combined Life Point Total of 16,000. (if it reaches zero, the team loses)<\/li>\n
- There can only be 1 Field Spell Card in play at a time, just like a 1-on-1 Duel.<\/li>\n
- Each Duelist has their own Extra Deck.\u00a0 (Duelists my only summon from their own Extra Deck and not their teammates.)<\/li>\n
- Any member of a team may use any Monster Cards in play on their team\u2019s side of the field for Tribute Summons, Ritual Summons, and Extra Deck Summons (Example: You may use your teammate\u2019s monster for a Tribute Summon).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has a face-up Level 4 Monster on his side of the field. His teammate may use that monster to Xyz Summon Number 39: Utopia<\/strong>.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has a set Monster on her side of the field. Her teammate may Tribute that monster to Tribute Summon Jinzo<\/strong>.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Teammate\u2019s may not activate Spell Speed 1 effects (Ignition Effects, Normal Spell Cards, etc) that are on their teammate\u2019s side of the field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has a face-up Cannon Soldier<\/strong> on his side of the field. His teammate may not activate the effect of Cannon Soldier<\/strong> on his turn.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has a set Dark Hole<\/strong> on his side of the field. His teammate may not activate Dark Hole<\/strong> on his turn.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Teammates may talk, compare hands, and share information freely and with each other.\u00a0 Teammates must come to an agreement before making plays involving each other\u2019s cards. Any communication must be verbal, in a language both teams can understand and loud enough for the other team to hear.<\/li>\n
- A team loses if the team\u2019s Life Points reach zero or either Duelist on the team cannot draw a card from their Deck when required to.<\/li>\n
- If a Duelist reaches a special win condition (such as Final Countdown<\/strong> or Exodia the Forbidden One<\/strong>), that team wins.<\/li>\n
- Limited Cards are counted per team and not per Duelist. So, for any given Limited Card, each team could include 1 copy in either Duelist Deck, making a total of 1 copy that team can use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has a copy of a Limited card in her Main Deck. Her teammate\u2019s Deck (which includes Main, Side, and Extra Deck) may not contain that card.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Semi-Limited Cards are counted per team and per Duelist.\u00a0 So for any given Semi-Limited Card, each team could include 2 copies in any combination between the team\u2019s Decks (Example: Duelist A can run 2 copies of Mirror Force<\/strong>, but Duelist B cannot run any copies. If Duelist A runs 1 copy of Mirror Force<\/strong>, Duelist B can run a copy as well, for a team maximum of 2 copies)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has a copy of a Semi-Limited card in her Side Deck. Her teammate\u2019s Deck (which includes Main, Side, and Extra Deck) may contain one copy of that card, so combined the team is running the maximum of 2 copies.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Both Duelists on a team can have up to 3 copies of a card that is not on the Forbidden and Limited list. (Example: Both Duelists on a team may each run 3 copies of Mystic Tomato<\/strong>, for a total of 6 copies amongst the team).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has 3 copies of a non-Limited card in his Deck. His teammate\u2019s Deck (which includes Main, Side, and Extra Deck) may also contain 3 copies of that card.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Turn Procedure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Duelists on the same team sit next to each other, Duelist A sits on the right of Duelist B.\u00a0 Team 1 is Duelists 1A & 1B and Team 2 is Duelists 2A & 2B.\u00a0 The turn order starts with Duelists A of the team that is chosen to go first and then alternates between teams.\n
\n- Duelist A from each team will always be the first two Duelists to play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- The first Duelist who can make an attack is the Duelist who goes fourth.\u00a0 (In the example below, Duelist 2B).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Turn order:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n- Team 1 Duelist 1A<\/li>\n
- Team 2 Duelist 2A<\/li>\n
- Team 1 Duelist 1B<\/li>\n
- Team 2 Duelist 2B<\/li>\n
- Team 1 Duelist 1A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
*Continue until one team wins<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n- Tag Dueling Matches are run in best-of-one Duels format.<\/li>\n
- Tag Dueling rounds are 40 minutes in length.<\/li>\n
- Tag Dueling rounds utilize the Tier 1 End of Match procedures.\n
\n- Turn Duelist will end his\/her turn, and each other Duelist will count as the (3) Extra Turns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Attacking <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The active Duelist can only attack with Attack Position monsters that are in their own 5 Monster Card Zones. Duelists may not attack with their teammate\u2019s monsters.<\/li>\n
- If there is a monster on the opponents\u2019 side of the field (in either Duelist\u2019s Monster Card Zones) then it must be attacked before an attack of their Life Points directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Additional Rules <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- During a Duelist\u2019s turn, either opponent may activate Spell Speed 2 or higher effects (just as they could in a standard Duel). The teammate may also activate Spell Speed 2 or higher effects (as if it was an opponent\u2019s turn).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A declares an attack on Duelist 2A\u2019s face-up Monster with his own LIGHT Monster. Any of the 4 Duelists may activate the effect of Honest<\/strong>.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- When a Duelist activates an effect or performs an action, each other Duelist must be given the opportunity to add an effect to the chain or respond to the action before it is resolved. The order of Duelists who get to decide who responds next is the same as the turn order and all Duelists must pass in order to resolve the chain or resolve the action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A activates a Spell Card. The first Duelist who is eligible to add to the chain is Duelist 2A, followed by 1B, followed by 2B, etc. If Duelist 2A chooses not to add any effects to the chain and Duelist 1B adds to the chain (Chain Link 2), Duelist 2B may not activate a Counter Trap Card to counter the effect in Chain Link 1.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- If multiple trigger effects activate at the same time, the turn Duelist\u2019s effects will be added to the chain first, followed by their teammate\u2019s effects, and finally the opponents\u2019 effects (in an order of their choosing).<\/li>\n
- Card effects that count turns count all appropriate turns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSwords of Revealing Light<\/em><\/strong> is activated by Duelist 1A of Team 1. Team 2 cannot attack on Duelist 2A\u2019s next turn (1 turn), Duelist 2B\u2019s next turn (2 turns), and Duelist 2A\u2019s turn after that (3 turns). Swords of Revealing Light<\/strong> will be destroyed at the end of that turn, because three opponents\u2019 turns have passed.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFinal Countdown<\/em><\/strong> counts the turns of each individual player (all 4 Duelists).<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- Card Effects<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- If a card specifically states it affects an \u201copponent\u201d, and any part of the card\u2019s effect affects your opponent\u2019s hand, Deck, Extra Deck, Graveyard, or Banished Zone, then the Duelist activating the card effect must choose the opponent sitting directly across from them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A activates Secret Barrel<\/strong>. Only the cards for the opponent sitting directly across from him will count for its effect.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDueliast 1A activates Smashing Ground<\/strong>. Duelist 2A activates Dark Bribe<\/strong>. Once Dark Bribe<\/strong> resolves, Duelist 1B will draw the card off of the effect of Dark Bribe<\/strong> as Duelist 1B is the one seated directly across from Duelist 2A.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- If a card affects only your opponent\u2019s side of the field, it affects the entire side, or both opponents.<\/li>\n
- If a card specifically states it affects all Duelists, Monsters, Spells, or Traps, then it affects both Teams (all 4 Duelists.)<\/li>\n
- If a card affects \u201cboth Duelists\u201d or \u201ceach player,\u201d then the Duelist activating the effect and the opponent sitting directly across from them are affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has Hand Destruction<\/strong> and two other cards in her hand. Duelist 2A only has one card in hand but Duelist 2B (Duelist seated directly across Duelist 1A) has 2 cards in hand. Duelist 1A can activate Hand Destruction<\/strong> as it only counts the Duelist activating the card and the Duelist sitting directly across from him.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- If a card references another card that \u201cyou control\u201d or \u201cyour\u201d hand, Deck, Extra Deck, Graveyard, or Banished Zone, it counts cards in your teammate\u2019s Zones as well as your own. In the same way, cards that reference a card \u201cyour opponent controls\u201d count both opponent\u2019s sides of the field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 2A and 1A each have a Monster on their side of the field. Duelist 1B may not Special Summon Cyber Dragon<\/strong> as his teammate controls a monster.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has a face-up Vanity\u2019s Emptiness<\/strong>. If a card is sent from Duelist 1B\u2019s Deck or side of the field to the Graveyard, Vanity\u2019s Emptiness<\/strong> is destroyed.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuelist 1A has a face-down Spell\/Trap Card. His teammate may not activate the effect of Treeborn Frog<\/strong> that would Special Summon itself from the Graveyard as his teammate controls a Spell\/Trap Card.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n- A Duelist can allow their teammate to use monsters in their Monster Card Zones as Tribute Summons, Ritual Summons, Extra Deck Summons, or for other appropriate card effects.<\/li>\n
- Cards Set by a Duelist can be viewed by the teammate, but they must be activated by the Duelist who Set them.<\/li>\n
- \u201cOwner\u201d means the same thing as a standard Duel. The \u201cowner\u201d is the Duelist who\u2019s Deck the card started in<\/li>\n
- If a card effect prevents your opponent from performing an action, it prevents both opponents. If a card prevents you from performing an action, it prevents your teammate as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n| \n Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\nDuelist 1A has a face-up Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer<\/strong> on his side of the field. Neither Duelist 2A and 2B may Banish cards from their Graveyards.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| Duelist 1A activates Reckless Greed<\/strong>. His team will skip its next 2 Draw Phases.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Source: http:\/\/www.yugioh-card.com\/en\/events\/2013\/YCS_SanMateo_FAQ.html#b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Updated for YCS San Mateo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,9,10],"tags":[106,105,104],"class_list":{"0":"post-679","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-looking-ahead","7":"category-rulings","8":"category-updates","9":"tag-dox","10":"tag-para","11":"tag-tag-duels"},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ygorganization.com\/staging\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
