Event Coverage blog – Event updates, Pairings, and Standings.

Q: What will I need to participate in the Advanced Remote Duel YCS tournament?
A: You should have a tournament-legal Deck as described under “What is the format for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series?,” along with any tournament supplies you will need, such as 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. If you have a CARD GAME ID number,
it should be linked to your KONAMI ID and displayed in the NEURON app on your smart device. You can click here for a full guide on how to link your CARD GAME ID to your NEURON App.
For those joining our events for the first time, obtaining a CARD GAME ID is as easy as downloading the NEURON app. Once downloaded follow the steps below:
- On the bottom menu screen, select Data.
- Once there, a new CARD GAME ID number will be generated at the top of the screen.
This CARD GAME ID will be used when registering for any Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Sanctioned events which includes our Tier 1 local events, Tier 2 Regional Qualifiers and OTS Championships, Tier 3 YCS events, and even Tier 4 WCQ Qualifier events.
Once you have a CARD GAME ID, we strongly encourage you to create a KONAMI ID and link the two accounts.
A KONAMI ID can be used across various online services provided by the Konami Group. Registration is free of charge and can be completed through the “New Registration” option on the My KONAMI website (https://my.konami.net) or directly through the NEURON app.
The most common uses of a KONAMI ID for Duelists include Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL, Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS, and Yu-Gi-Oh! NEURON. Linking your CARD GAME ID to a KONAMI ID helps ensure that your account information is properly associated with your Organized Play participation and allows you to access additional KONAMI services using a single account.
You can follow the guide below for step-by-step instructions on how to link your CARD GAME ID and KONAMI ID:
https://img.yugioh-card.com/en/downloads/neuron/NEURON-Linking_a_CARD_GAME_ID-KONAMI_ID.pdf
You will also need a functional Remote Duel setup. You can find more information on Remote Duel technical requirements here: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/downloads/remoteduel/Remote Duel Set Up Guide.pdf
Q: I don’t have a Remote Duel Setup. Is there anything I can do to participate?
A: Some Official Tournament Stores (OTS) can offer Remote Duel Stations to allow Remote Duelists to participate in Remote Duel tournaments. These same Remote Duel Stations can be used to participate in the Advanced Remote Duel YCS. Keep in mind that quantities are limited so please make sure to reach out to your OTS to check as soon as possible.
Q: During my Match, how many cameras can I use to stream?
A: During a match, a maximum of 1 camera can be active per Duelist.
Q: How do I find my table during the Advanced Remote Duel YCS?
A: Each Round, pairings will be posted in a channel named #Advanced-ycs-main-event-pairings in the Remote Duel YCS Discord server. The pairings will be posted as a series of images. The images are the pairings for the Round, sorted by Duelists’ Last Name. Find your name on the Pairings channel to see the table you are assigned for the Round.
Alternatively, the same channel will also have a QR code posted to the Online Pairings website. For this website, you will enter your CARD GAME ID and the Online Pairings website will tell you what Table you are assigned for the Round. If you are not sure what your CARD GAME ID is, you can find it next to your name on the images of the pairings list and then use it for future Rounds.
Regardless of whether you find your assigned table through the pairings images or the Online Pairings website, once you have found your assigned table for the Round, you will be able to find it in the list of voice channels. For example, if you are assigned table 20, you would find the voice channel table 20 and join that for your match.
Q: How do I report my match result during the Advanced Remote Duel YCS?
A: Once you have completed your match, you can report your result in the #Advanced-YCS-Round-results text channel in the Remote Duel YCS Discord server.
Q: Where do I find information during the Advanced Remote Duel YCS?
A: If you have any questions before, during, or after the Advanced Remote Duel YCS, you should first check the #faq text channel on the Remote Duel YCS Discord server. Many frequently asked questions have answers there. You should also check the #announcements channel for recent announcements that may answer your question. Finally, if you have not found an answer elsewhere, you can request assistance by typing @staff to reach out to the staff members managing the Remote Duel YCS Server.
